    michaels: If you go on eBay for around £6 you can get an adaptor for the K750i that allows any 3.5mm audio jack to go into it.

    How long should the battery last before it needs recharging pls? I've had my phone for two weeks now and it only lasts approximately 48 hours - I thought it would have been much longer than this?

    Also what appears to be the better phone : Samsung D600, Nokia 6680 or SE w800i? Thanks.

    depends what you use a phone for to decide how long a battery should last. IN standby the quoted figure is 10 days, talktime is 6 hrs, so 2-3 hrs talk (or even general usage games/texting/video/camera) each day would probably mean it's looking low after 48 hours

    I don't use it very often - probably 30 mins max a day. Think I'll contact Vodafone and speak to them. Thanks anyway.

    feel free to ask any questions.

    Thanks!!

    I've been looking for something suitable for my text-mad daughter who is at uni and would qualify for this deal from vodafone...what to you think? It looks pretty good to me and hard to beat.

    Free samsung z140v phone
    125mins anytime a month
    unlimited texts

    £25/month - 18 month contract. Also could use "Stop the clock" - 7pm to 8am all week and all weekend: talk for up to 60 mins but only get charged for 3 (could come out of 125 mins a month allowance) - she might even call her parents...lol!!

    Vodafone one is good but is a 18month contract with a 3G phone. Not selling but Orange do £25 a month 120mins, 1000texts messages, large choice of handsets, £50 buyback.

    Or if she doesnt want to phone you, she could go for 3000texts for £30.

    Lara Hi,

    Totallyd depends on the phone can you tell me what one?

    I can only give you optimum guides though

    sew800i defo the best nokias boring yawn! nok6680 can get a virus whic only effectd symbian based handsets although I may be wrong on this but there is no anti virus software as yet you would need to do a software upgrade to fix it thus losing messages ringtones pics etc etc etc
