Mobile for 3

I was using a Sony Ericsson W910i unlocked for my 3 contract. The phone is damaged and the repair cost would suggest it is better to use the money towards anew phone. My contract is one of two my wife was able to get 2 years ago. £5 per month, 150minutes, 150txts. More than enough for both our needs. The problem is that you don't get good handsets or decent upgrades.

The second problem is that CPW informewd me that 3 sim cards are not compatable with a great many phones. I may have to pay £90 and upwards for a suitable phone for the spec I want.

Does anyone know if this is the case or can anyone sugguest a phone around £50 or so that would be suitable. I would like a music player, bluetooth, exansion slot.
There are a few phones out there at this spec and price but do they take 3 sim cards.

Sorry this is long winded.

    any phone that has 3g should work on three.

    for example, i have a k810 (not sold/supported by 3) and it works ok
  • How about a Skypephone S1? £39.99 from a 3store, does everything you ask.

    I bought one as a Xmas pressie and used Quicdo - tracked as £11. Only (unrelated) downside was Capital One phoning to check the transaction was valid :-)

    There is also the VAT reduction off that price too - don't know if the phone is any good but it sure works out cheap!
