Nokia 5230.
3G Symbian phone with internal GPS - so you can download sportracker for free.
Also comes with free UK satnav mapping from the Nokia site.
Think its < £100 at the carphone warehouse.

None of them. Nothing below £100 can have the hardware required to make a decent touchscreen phone.

Nokia 5800 XM is a great little phone - touchscreen and I reckon available under £100.
Has GPS which works pretty well and VERY good for music. Camera is a bit naff but it's a phone, not a camera.
Can make phone calls on it too. 🙂

I think it's a really good phone.

dunno what an LG viewty goes for at the moment, or if you can even still get them but mine isn't too shabby?

Resistive touchscreen technology is cheaper.
The other technology (capacitive) is far nicer to use and found on iPhones - but then again this is a budget phone.

Nokia 5230 is pretty much the same phone as the 5800 albeit with a poor camera and no wi-fi.
There is also the Nokia 5530 pretty much the same phone as the 5800 albeit with a poor camera no GPS but comes with wi-fi.
