I am with vodafone... not entitled to upgrade... but want a new phone.... where is the best/cheapest place to get a decent one for decent price

Depends on what you want really.

And how much you have.

I recommend sticking to your landline, it has better reception and battery life.

So do you want me to answer your question or not?

how much have you got and which out the following are most important:
Music playing
Good camera
Size
3G
Stylish looking
Brand
Bluetooth
Qwerty keypad
Internet capabilities
WiFi
FM Radio
Battery life

I'll see what I can do then.

right so just looking for something like the nokia 6220 or 6230... nothing spectacular but would like to stick with Nokia.

At the moment, I have a 6310... I know it is kinda old but it fits my carkit and no other phone will fit it.

I need one that has a handsfree speaker, bluetooth and I suppose a camera woulnd't go to waste

Are you out of contract but not entitled to an upgrade?
Here's how to get one.

Go to vodafone store, change from billpay to ready to go,
they charge 25 which is given to you as credit.
Takes about 2 days.

Once complete:

Go to vodafone store, get upgrade to billpay.

Or else.


Call vodafone help, threaten to move to 3/O2,
they'll offer you your price plan free for 2 months,
or else an upgrade.

Pretty simple stuff so.
The replacement for the 6310 is unofficially the 9300, but it doesn't have a camera.
The 6230i is a very fine phone, middle of the road, nothing exciting.
if you don't want 3G, the 6681 (and the 6630) is a very handy piece of kit, the handsfree is excellent, bluetooth and a pretty good camera.

The 7610 is another handy phone (there's one for the german heads out there...) a 1 megapixel camera (as opposed to the 6230i and 6681's very good 1.3 megapixel cameras) and the memory cards come in slightly bigger sizes:

On the other hand, you could go for something like the K750i, which is a very, very capable phone, or you could go for a phone part designed by one of the members of this very forum, the Nokia N70...


I could go on, but the majority of phones nowadays have handsfree, bluetooth and a camera.

One thing I might advise a bit of caution for people here is that Nokia are said to be getting rid of their godawful "Pop-port" connector (thank fuck) and replacing it with mini-usb. In fact, that's the way the whole industry is going.

Hello MOTO?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Hello MOTO?

You've been brainwashed boy, they must have caught up with you after that big Q&A bitching session with the head honcho. Did you not read the 'No individual thought' clause in your contract?

[Proinsias]

iMOTO

Do you MOTO?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

You have to fight it boy!!



Fight it!!!!!

Did you not see the bit where I recommended the K750i?

The W800 just doesn't look right IMO. Its the orange bits...
