Default Sub £40 mobile phone(used)

Hi,

First of all, I havent been too active recently(swamped with coursework), though once Ive got that out of the way, Ill probably be a little more active here

That, and the fact that the sunny weather makes you want to go out, have a walk etc...

So I havent ditched you guys just because n3 is in my area lol

Any way, a lady in my street asked me if I could get her a cheap phone with a budget of £40(she would obviously be happy with something cheaper)

Her requirements are quite simple.
She just wants a mobile phone with a camera. She has little money/she doesnt know how to use more complex phones. It would be nice if the phone is unlocked, or if it would cost to unlock, then it would be nice to get it under the £40 budget(phone+unlocking costs)

I forgot to ask her as to what network she was on

Im just wondering what you'd recommend?

I was thinking of:
Samsung U600
Nokia 5310
Samsung J700

but any advice here would be appreciated

Actually, I think I may just get a Nokia 6300. I had a look see @ eBay and the BIN's are cheaper than auction mobiles. My mum wanted one under £50(as thats what they sell for in the shops) and then I noticed a business seller had them at £40 ONO. I offered them £30 each at first, but was declined automatically

Ive now offered them £35 each, and just waiting for their reply-its not bad even at £40 considering you get a box, charger, manual and disk
