You may not want to pay top dollar for the latest mobile phone, but that doesn't mean you'll go without some of the latest features. In 2009, features like touchscreens, QWERTY keyboards and HSDPA web browsing are all available under AU$300.
This list is a motley group of old and new phones of our favourite budget-conscious phones that were available in Australian phone stores at the time of writing. Many of the phones started their life cycle with expensive price tags, like the LG Viewty and Samsung F480, but each is now a card carrying member of the prepaid club.
Special mention goes to the Nokia 6300 which is the oldest member of this bargain bin. We reviewed the 6300 in April of 2007, and even now it stands out as one of the best, basic phone handsets.
