Looking for Nokia Phone

SMC_2

I have had a SE phone for a while and it is ok, it is mainly the design of it that irritates me so I am looking to get a Nokia phone again.

It will be used with my current O2 pay as you go sim.

I am so confused about which phone to go for and who to buy from, any places I should avoid?

I have read lots of reviews of phones I liked the look of, 6300, 6280, N70 but the reviews are really not great.

Ideally I am looking for something with at least 128x160 screen, camera, MP3, Radio, which Nokia phones do you all recommend, have thoughts on?

This phone http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/product/index.jsp?pid=50924122 doesn't have all that I really want but it is cheap so am tempted.

Again this one is cheapish and has more of the features I want, http://www.kays.com/rf/kay/navigation/product.do?Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&SNtt=6111&groupId=345954156&Nu=this_product&SNtk=littlewoods_search&Np=1&SN=85+103&Ntt=345954156&D=345954156&Ntk=group_search&Dx=mode%2Bmatchall&thisprod=345954156&N=85+103&Nty=1&Mis_item_id=15&Mis_item_loc_id=1&product=345954156 anyone got this? Is the sliding part secure, won't fall apart? Keypad easy to use or is it fiddly?

Pink is not my ideal colour for a phone but funds are not too extensive so can't be too fussy.

Thanks!! :beer:

On the rpoints board there was an N70 going for £71. You'll find it if you search for it, it was only a couple of days ago but I can't access the site just now. I haven't used the other phones you mentioned nor have I had them in for review yet, but I would recommend the N70 to people. The main things I like about it are the two cameras, one back and one in front, and the fact that the rear main camera has a sliding cover which protects it. The downside which is only really a small thing is that it uses the older DKU-5 Nokia cable rather than the mini-USB that the newer N-Series phones use and the connection can sometimes be a bit fiddly. The N70 works smoothly with no bugs that I could find, it's S60 2nd Edition meaning that this operating system has the majority of applications supported (many vendors are still updating software for S60 3rd Edition), and also it isn't so picky about installing unsigned applications as the 3rd Edition is.

Thanks but it looks like it is Vodafone only and I am with O2 and don't really want to have to get things unlocked.

I had the 6280 for a year and loved it, no problems at all, but I know a lot of people did have problems with that phone. And I've had the 6300 for a few months now and it's a great phone, I'd recommend it.
