Which mobile would you recommend?
Hi to you all. I need a little advice on which mobile phone to buy for my husband. Currently he has a Sony Ericsson K800i.
I want to buy him something similar but more up to date with wifi etc etc. He is not keen on touch screen or slide or flip up mobiles, also nothing to small or to complicated. i have been looking around but I'm not sure what one to buy, so any advice would be very much welcome.

How much "not keen" on a touch screen? Anything up-to-date is going to have one, basically. With that in mind, have a look at an Orange San Francisco. It's a great value for money Android handset that you can unlock and de-brand easily for free0

WiFi = internet. Correct?
IMHO internet without a touch screen doesn't make much sense. It's like a computer without a mouse/touchpad0 -
Thank you for your advice. I'm looking to spend roughly £150 maybe a little more.
Thank you Rusty the san francisco does look like a nice phone.
Also thank you grumbler for your comment but i have to say i do not totally agree with you.
I have a blackberry pearl which is not touch screen and does have wifi and it seems to work
perfectly for me : )0 -
my OH wants the same, hates my touchscreen but would like to use the internet once in a blue moon !Bow Ties ARE cool :cool:"Just because you are offended, doesnt mean you are right" Ricky Gervais

My wife has a K800i which she still loves.
I'm keen on modern touch screen devices, she isn't.
The camera on the K800i is her favorite feature and in quality of real pictures (as against megapixels) is rarely equalled on more modern phones.
Let him keep his phone and buy him an iPod touch instead !0 -
