Mobile phones

[kaiser]

Looking for a new phone, just cancelled a rarely used contract and have got some pay as you go sims. On Ebay theres quite a few of what I'm guessing are iphone copies, any good? Not looking to spend alot just need something to get me going. Anywhere else I can look for one?

the iphone copies are a bit like buying a Kia Rio, they work for a while and then go wrong.

better off buying a second hand sony ericsson (mine have lasted 2-3 years at a time) or Nokias or unwanted unloved PDA's with a sim option

Nokia E71's are good phones, full qwwety keyboard, sat nav, interweb, email, sports tracker,hell they even make phone calls. I've had mine 6 months now and still cant complain

Nice one, the Kia analogy is a fine one I'll probably treat it as a consumable anyway.

I'll add Nokia to my list too.

I got a pay as you go nokia from tesco last year for £20 which included a £10 top up voucher, so the hardware was only £10. Its basic, but works ok.

havent a clue what model, as I'm not into em.

An unlocked used Samsung Omnia with SPB mobile shell installed is a worthy iphone subsititute, mine has been reliable for over a year and does everything the iphone does without the cost and restrictions. The only proviso is that you can get on with Windows Mobile, which for me is not a problem as I have used it for years, others find it hard work.

Isn't the E72 out very soon??

Personally considering an HTC HD2 and a Nokia N900 - can't seem to get on with QWERTY's and need a bigger screen for my failing eyesight... :roll:
