OK here goes. Wifes Birthday on 28th this month and I'm thinking of getting her a phone. But I'm a bit of a technophobe when it comes to phones.

She's been dropping subtle hints about one that has bluetooth, plays MP3 ringtones, and will show video clips.

She's more of a texter than a caller.

Any advice welcome. (looking for a cheapish line rental with phone or a cheapinsh phone on the P&G market that fulfills details above)

    For the best quality in music and video etc then it has to be a Sony Ericcson phone, something like the K800i or W850i,k750i, they can be quite expensive on the pay as you go but if you go for a reliable compnay like CPW then you should be able to get a good deal on a contract. The Sony Ericsson phones are the best on the market and dshe wont be dissapointed.

    Thanks for the advice. But what about service providers, who's the best for someone who's more of a texter than a caller?

    Orange are quite good at the moment if you use there mobymates tariff where you get 300 texts each month plus you get 600 texts free when you sign up to it so that means 900 texts for the first month.

    Make sure you know which companies have good reception in your local area. Its a right pain when you cant get a reception where you live. I learnt my lesson the expensive way!

    As for the phones you can't to wrong with a SE k800i in black/silver!

    Hi all,

    As we know latest Sony Erickson's (W810i, W850i...) headphone is very very good fit in ears.
    Is there any same headphone even I can buy separately for Nokia phones?

    Thanks a lot
    JE
