Smartphones

And how about the HTC Wildfire?

Take the Optimus one rather. A mate of mine has the wildfire and the slower processor and worse screen resolution plus lack of gps navigation app make it a worse choice. Still for its' time it was great.
 
For option 1; Second hand market, great condition phones - you could get.

  • iPhone 3G/s have been going for 2k/2.5k (though I don't consider it a smartphone) or
  • Nokia N97 (or similar) or
  • Blackberry Bold 9000 (which is the standout amongst the three IMO)

No touch screen on the BlackBerry Bold, but great resolution on that small screen and you may also consider a first or perhaps second gen BB Storm if you want touchscreen.

As for new phones - I can't think of any besides a BB Curve 8520 that you can get for R2k.

I've seen this go new on the vodacom weekend package. Was in a brick store poster, so not able to provide link.
