Carphone Warehouse had several clearance offers in last month's catalogue; see if they're still there or elsewhere. Motorola A835 £5. NEC616 £20. several £30 to £70

Currys.co.uk are doing the NEC338 flip for £80 which is £5 cheaper than anywhere else.

I'm really looking for a dirt cheap or free phone, all the features I want are on my other phone.
though a camera would be nice

"when bought with £15 airtime" at The Link, CPW. Ok that is £85, but you can use up the calls

So its not £69.99 anywhere because you cannot buy it without the credit. Also on 3, the £15 credit isnt quite £15 in the traditional sense - dont ask me to explain it though.

Currys is still the better deal then.

I just phoned 3 and the woman said "yes it is £69.99 but I cant sell it to you. You will have to buy it from a retail outlet with a £15 top up so it will be £84.99"

The website says "buy online its so easy" and when you click that its says

"Direct Sales Call now to purchase over the phone. 08707 330 330". - I called and they said we dont sell over the phone!

"Also available at Superdrug and Selfridges" - Only if you pay £15 on top


Ive emailed them to see if they confirm it in writing as I still cant see this phone for less than £84.99 anwhere right now.
