The Nokia 1110i is the Ultimate Budget Phone
Well, it's technically not a smartphone, but the Nokia 1110i is perfect for those who want to only call and text. This phone doesn't have 3G or any of the latest features (the specs are pretty bare), but it's very responsive, easy-to-use, lasts practically forever between charges, and has some surprising features.
Like a speakerphone. Or genuinely catchy polyphonic tones. Or even a speaking clock/alarm! Not to mention useful Nokia Staples like a unit converter, calculator, a basic calendar, and a great alarm. And the 1110i is the lightest phone I've ever used, weighing in at only 80 grams. You can even assign built-in portraits (though they're kinda basic) for individual contacts, like a heart for your girlfriend. The screen may be monochrome, but it's easy to read.
Besides, where else can you buy an unlocked mobile for around $45? A pair of shoes costs more! I bought the Nokia 1110i only because it will take a while for the E61 to arrive (a delivery period of 1-2 weeks), but I've never regretted the decision. If you're truly happy owning a phone that's very basic or need a second unit for that unlimited plan, get the Nokia 1110i. You'll save a lot of money in the process.
mPhone is selling the Nokia 1110i for £35.25.

Very nice phone. I decided to buy one for me, and later one for my “friend”, after seeing many nice reviews in the internet. Reminds me of 3310, but it’s smaller, easier to use, and has more functionality. I hope the alarm had Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice instead for a more cyborg sound, hehe.
