    No-one really seems to be answering your question properly mate so, I'll give it a try.


    Yes, I did 5 hours ago, you've just posted exactly the same, except not in as much detail.
  • Many thanks to all who replied - rash.m2k - that was really helpfull, I can pick from a big list now. Cheers all.

    Normally there is no physical way of telling if a phone is 3g or not - you just have to know.
    dont most 3g phones have 2 cameras (1 on the front and 1 on the back)?

    thats why i said most. i know that the SE m600i/w950i is 3g but doesnt have a camera
  • The '3 Skypephone' is £50 on PAYG and a contract sim works in it. I've had a 6630 and I've got a loan of a Skypephone and to be honest the Skypephone is better.

    Basically guys (and gals?) what I need to do is find a 3G phone to put the 3 SIM into!

    I'm struggling because I wanted to stick to a Nokia (we've had no problems with them at all) and our budget is around £50. Not including unlocking if required.

    I can see lots of deals out there (including this one http://www.orangeaccessories.co.uk/reconditioned_mobile_phone/all.html?pagingControloffset=8) but I still don't know which to get or to choose from(?)

  • Hi
    I too have a problem with my 6680 locked to three network and would to get a new handset. Is the Motorola v3x a 3g phone? It is available for about £50 reconditioned from orange shop. Is it easy to unlock and stick the three sim in it? Has anyone experience with unlocking motorola v3x?
    Thanks in advance

  • Nokia 6210 classic is available for about £100 on P+G and would fit the bill nicely (i have one, it is great!). Maybe a bit cheaper on fleabay.
