Sim-free Motorola V3x

As the title says, I'm after a sim-free Motorola V3x as I'm emigrating soon and want to take the phone with me. I believe it has a 2mp camera which is about as good as you can get at the moment without spending stupid amounts of money (unless I'm well out of touch)!

Can anyone recommend a reputable place I can buy this? I've seen loads of websites but they all seem a bit dodgy.

TIA

  • I usually use these guys, http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Sim-Free-Motorola-Mobile-Phones.htm but it seems to have been discontinued, same on https://www.expansys.com, they don't have it either, so you may have to look for the current equivalent.

    Sorry that's not much help, but both those sites are reputable if you do want something sim free.

    Thanks for the links - I'll have a look. I'm probably hankering after a really untrendy out-of-date phone anyway ;)

    Black or purple (I think they only do the V3i in purple though) :D

  • http://www.3mobilefones.com/ http://www.coolnewmobile.co.uk/ both have the Motorola V3X Black free on "3" VTT 700 Tariffs

    Looking at ebay completed listings you can get from £60-£130 depending, simfree is rare but is at least £200 (mobileshop.com for example) from varying sites.
