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(?)

these are some 3g phones

Your budget is going to make life hard for you. I would suggest buying a secondhand K800i off of ebay that is locked to the 3 network.

You'll struggle getting a brand new Nokia 3G phone for £50. I'm a fan of Nokia's handsets but for £50, like I said before, there's the Skypephone. It's 3G it's on Three, it's £50 and it is a feature packed phone. I've had one a week now and it really is amazing for the money.

Cheers all for the further info - I think I've finally got my head around it (umts etc).

I like the reconditioned orange site and the CPW vanilla stock site.

BTW Chemical Brother - where's the Skyphone from??
