    Yes, it's a lovely phone. Sorted one out for one of my staff today - almost had tears in my eyes as I handed it over as I'm stuck with a 6230.
    Can I help?

    Sorry if I'm a bit thick, but is this phone PAYG on LXDIRECT? I have just looked on their site, and as I'm not sure I thought I'd ask. :confused: Another thing, how do you rate virgin?

    10 months @99P plus 2 months @ £30 or it might be £25 (needs checking)
    Trade an old phone in and go through Quidco should make it quite reasonable.

    is this handset unlockable?
  • The most frustrating phone I've ever owned...but it looks bl**dy nice! OH changed her 6230i for a K750i today, and I gave the Nokia a go. Better operating system (but have been an SE man for years now) but looks oh-so-bulky compared to the V3i. Got mine on CPW 12 months 1/2 price on O2 250 about a month ago.

    Does anyone have the Motorola v3i who can tell me what it's like please? I know I'm a bit thick but is this phone from LX DIRECT a PAYG? It does seem a bargain when there is 40% off the price and £25 air time included! If bought through Quidco there's 4.5% off again.

    Wasn't planning on spendig that much, but I do like the fact that it's such a slim phone. I was put off by the V3 with so many bad customer reviews.
  • If you want a clear, easy to read screen.....don't buy it.
    If you want a simple, methodical operating system.....don't buy it.
    If you want a phone that'll connect to your TomTom 500.......don't buy it.
    If you want a phone with a decent battery life.....don't buy it.
    However, if it's a case of form over function.......buy it.
    I did, and I'm slowly getting used to its frustrations and it certainly looks the business.

    Btw..if you're after a PAYG, why not get one from Carphone Warehouse and use it as a PAYG. £50 in bills (give or take) - £35 back for going through quidco = £15. Crikey, at that price, I might get another to pop on eBay!
