As per the subject really. I'm after this for a Christmas gift and there's now quite alot of choice with these criteria - can anyone recommend the best models to go for and which to stay away from.

Also it needs to be on O2 or unlockable with a code.

Note that I'm not interested in a contract/cash back deal for this as its for someone who won't be bothered with all that and I already have cashback deals of my own to keep track of!

    You can get a brand new K750 from LXDirect for ~£65 search Grabbit and Drop.
  • Whilst I think the RazrV3 is a good phone the camera is not the best bit by far. If you want to take good piccies, look somewhere else.

    K750i is a much better camera than Razr....

    k750 is a good phone. MP3 player, FM radio, 2MP camera, infra-red, expandable memory slot and bluetooth. Only dodgy bit is the joystick in the middle which a lot of folks have had trouble with (including me). As far as i know the Razr V3 has no bluetooth, no expandable memory slot and a VGA camera.
  • Razr V3 does have bluetooth.
  • I do have to agree though, the V3 is beautiful phone (although still think its best in the original silver design) But it really doesnt cut it on the inside.

    The camera is poor in comparison to other models and the memory is shocking....think it's 5.5m (can't quite remember its a long time ago I had it)

    I would def go with the K750i...I have done a lot of searching for the same things you are after and it came out tops by a long shot so mum is buying it for dad.

    Now I need to find a similar one but a little more girly for my mum ;)
    Honestly go for the LX Direct..Delivered in 2days

    Thanks for all the replies. Can't find K750i on LXDirect for anything under £95 though. What is 'grabbit and drop'?

    I also saw the Samsung E370 for around the same money, any opinions on this phone?

    Out of these three, can any be unlocked without paying?
