Nokia 6300

Just noticed a Nokia 6300 PAYG on O2 at £79.99 in both my local O2 shop and Argos.

O2 shop requires a £10 top-up in addition but Argos don't.

These phones are selling on e-bay for well in excess of £100:confused:

    thanks. just reserved one at my local argos. was looking for a new phone so very handy! thanks!!!
  • If you look back or search I bought one last month for £75 from Currys but someone found that you could get them from The Link for £68 on T mobile - good price if still doing it!

    Very pleased with mine btw, only issue is battery only last for 4-5 days compared with 2 weeks on my old 6030 but then this has bigger screen + camera etc...

    Of course a lot of people haven't figured out about the 6120 that you can buy for not too much more money but is a full-blown 3G S60 smartphone.

    How much more? I can't find it for less than £150 (although a brief look)

    Both Currys and The Link are currently 79.99 on T-Mobile, so if you want O2 then Argos or O2 shop is the place.

    Only if you leave 3G on all the time - else it's fine... 3G kills the battery on all phones.
