JUst been to Tescos to look at the handsets and she has seen two she likes
Nokia 7100 and Nokia 2680
Has anyone got any advice on either?

The 7100 has a limited spec as it is a fashion phone. The biggest drawback is dual band - that may not be a problem for her though. see http://www.yourmobilephonereviews.co.uk/nokia_7100_supernova_reviews.htm

The 2680 is similarly restricted - see http://www.yourmobilephonereviews.co.uk/nokia_2680_slide_reviews.htm

In fairness, here is the 2730 review

Thanks ordered 6303 yesterday, can return if no good but it looks the most like her old one which is good - shes a creature of habit!

My Mum needs a new phone - she wants to keep her number and contract that she has (she has a very very old contract with orange that is now discontinued and she just pays for the calls she makes - bit like pay as you go but not having to top up) ...

I presume that she's on Orange Value Promise Equivalent Virgin tariff ("OVP Virgin") which is what I'm on and hasn't been available for new connections since about 2004.

The SIM I have came with a Nokia 3330 and I have bought new phones over the years and put it in.

Thats the name of it! and thats the phone she got with it too! ITs good for her as she can't forget to top up or anything

Got the 6303 and its a great wee phone, really easy to use and shes changed over no bother!
I've been looking at it and it is a good phone, however when I try to go to take a photo it says camera in standby - can anyone help?

Probably got the camera app running in background, you need to go back to the camera and turn it off properly....I think....then you can go to Photos/Gallery.

I can't turn it on!

Try disabling sleep mode - Menu > Settings > Display > Sleep mode
