Bluetooth handset suggestions?

My new car has bluetooth handsfree so I'm looking to replace an ancient Nokia 1100 with one with Bluetooth. A phone is just a phone to me so, if it works and the battery life approaches a week on standby, it'll do.

I'm not bothered about it having internet or even email capabilities and, apart from being unlocked (so my Giffgaff SIM will work from day 1), I'm not that fussed.

I've seen Nokia 6021 handsets on ebay at very reasonable prices but does anyone have any other model suggestions?
Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    See 'Features' tab, then Sort By cost.

    I have issues with certain Nokias on non-Nokia BT kits, sometimes they work fine, other times they are totally unreliable - so before you commit, make sure you try all the features with your car before any commitment to purchase.

    See if car manufacture has a phone compatibility list first.
