Mobile Phones

[bigfoot]

Gotta get my sister a pay as you go phone from this list:
http://www.virginmobile.com/mobile/phones/phone_list.jsp
Costing no more than £120

Anyone have any recommendations or experience of using any of the ones that fit the bill?

120£ on a phone??? bejesus and marie save us

 

[bigfoot]

Well, her birthday was earlier this month and I didn't get her a pressie so it is a combined present.

Plus it is pay as you go, not contract, which is why there is the extra cost compared to buying it with a contract.

The ericsson one or the 3510i. imho.

Dont get the panasonic GD-87. Camera is good, but there is only one game. Sheep Herder. Trust me its gets old after 2 trys.

TBH, anyone that considers "what games the phone comes bundled with" as a reason to purchase are buying a phone for all the wrong reasons.

got a T68i myself for over a year now and its still working (thats a first for me) battery is excelent, phone can take a knock or 2.
tho its a bit of overkill if you arnt going to use the bluetooth on it

irda and bluetooth do sync nice with outlook

My mate at work has a Nokia 3510i. I like it because it has orange light-up sides and the whole thing looks like a spider. Also uses polyphonic ringtones and has a colour screen. Girls like to show off with their phones, should be a treat for her.

Yea but could be the selling point. If two phones are exactly the same. but one has shit games and the other has good ones whatcha gunna choose?

 

[Swift^]

You may notice that no two phones are the same, just with different games.

So it's not an issue, at all.

 

[Brynn]

Never mind just commenting

 

[leggy]

I really do talk pish that makes little sense

 

[bigfoot]

Get ya point Brynn. I went for the one worMatty suggested.

monophonic ringtones

crashes occasionally

- nokia 6310i

Anyway, I'm probably getting a 3g phone next year.

I get mine free off work. It's crap but at least my penis is big to make up for it.

3510i atm, wouldn't mind a SE T610 though.

 

[Rekin]

T610's aer the win. And Minigolf on it is superb.

 

[Ch3tan]

Samsung c100 is the best phone on that list within your price range. The 3510i is an awful phone, large and very slow to navigate. The samsung a800 looks nice but is very dated, but it is a girly phone.

I got´s a C100 ... didn´t cost nowhere near 120£ though

 

[Jonaldo]

Got a PS2 & PC for games.
Can also e-mail with PC and look at the intarweb.
Got a camera I can take pictures with.
TV indoors has a colour screen and if I want to listen to nice tunes I play a cd.

So I got myself a phone I can talk to people on, Nokia 5210, not really fancy but it works. I know it ain't on that list but don't understand the whole 'games/polyphonic/screensavers/internet' jobbie when I can do all that and better on other systems.

 

[Ch3tan]

Once you can afford/make the leap and get a phone that does all those things, you will understand. Its very convienient to have a phone that does everything.

I've just sold a Nokia 6100, that had the bestest games I've seen on a phone, it had chess, Bombjack, Columns and XIII.

I never played the games but the phone was good.
