    though a camera would be nice
    Try those clearance deals. £5 should be cheap enough, though that is with a top-up credit to use up first as well

    Nec 338 is £65 at kays, with 20% off if you are a first time buyer and 40 weeks interest free credit. I just bought one, I will put my Nokia 7600 on ebay. I presume there is no problem putting a 3 contract sim into a 3 pay as you go phone. Good phone for £52, and the Nokia 7600 will go for about £70 on ebay.

    too early to say, probably, but I'd be interested in your comparison to 7600 in a while ...
    Thanks

    Good man! Thanks for the tip - just ordered one.

    As for ebay, you are right the average price for the 7600 is around £70 now but they were selling for around £100 at xmas.

    As for the difference, I have had both the 7600 and the NEC 338 and although the Nokia looks odd, it is a superior phone in every sense.

    The NEC lacks many basic features and is harder to use Having said that, its probably the only decent looking 3 phone out at the moment...

    kaaloo, thanks for info. So I'll probably stick.

    I can put up with friends taking the mickey out of it when it's under £16 for year. (CPW could be in for a shock when they get a Motorola Flare for the cashback!).

    No probs mate.

    Also, the Nokia has both Bluetooth and infra red - the NEC has neither which is really bad considering its such a new phone.
