Got my phone on Monday after ordering late Friday eve. For £45 a bargain, very pleased with it . As a phone does everything, good walkman for the gym, works with bluetooth stereo headphones, 3.2 mp camrea, 3g video calls, rss reader (great for getting news from BBC web site in seconds) java games, an organiser and it came with the cable and sofware to sync with your pc. I can't think of a phone that has all these features for this price. If you want a phone and you have been a pay and go customer for a while with 02 call them and see what discount you can get well worth it!

I will have to give them a call. Are you a heavy pay and go user as the discount is pretty good? I only spend a tenner a month on mine, which is why I stick with pay and go.

Great phone, had one for nearly a year, brill photos...

Me too and I'd agree. I rarely bother using my digital camera now. The phone pictures aren't quite as good as those from the camera, but the phone is always with me.

but has been replaced by the K810i because of probs with the buttons.

What problems? I know the K810i has a different keypad (little round metal buttons) but the main differences are that it's slimmer and has a lens cover that won't come open in your pocket.

I am better off getting it elsewhere as they offered my £1.50 off te price. I only do a tenner a month as said so its worth nowt. You must top up £50 a month to get £55 off it!

I've got a K800i and agreed it is a cracking phone with a superb camera for instant, simple shots.
It does a few problems though - battery life isn't great, the lens cover comes open in your pocket and the joystick is a known problem on SE handsets.
Had mine since Jan 07 and the joystick is starting to fail. it's covered under warranty but a pain in the @rse to get the phone sent away to be repaired.

You can lengthen the battery life by turning off 3G - if you don' use it. I'd agree the joystick is poor design and should have been removed from Sony Ericsson phones years ago. They become unresponsive when they get clogged up with dust.

I am a Three customer and I do use 3G for video calls and the 'online' stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I like the phone, other than the above and it's waistline (like mine) is a bit big.

If you ask me (and I know nobody did!) the Nokia 6120 is still unknown and worth snapping up.

This is a full-on Symbian/S60 smartphone in a tiny case weighing just 89g with 3.5G HSPDA and a 2mp Camera. They are going on eBay brand new for apx £120 and I've just bought two. The speed of the web is faster than my broadband at home. Amazing phone especially considering everyone's raving on about the 6300 which is way, way inferior to this.

I'm saying this as a former Ericsson and then SE devotee since having owned PH388/PF768/T10/T28/T29/T610/K700. This thing is very close to the T650i I was waiting for and the 3.2mp camera is offset by using standard microSD cards up to 2Gb and mini USB cables which I can share with all my other gadgets. Shockingly the T650i sells for almost double and, seeing I use a camera for taking proper pictures, not a phone, the 'standard' nature of the Nokia wins hands-down!
