About to buy a contract but which is better between the 2 phone.

Or is it better to put some extra money and get a blue tooth enabled phone?

    Neither are very spectacular.

    I would spend more and get a better phone.

    What else do you need apart from Bluetooth ? Good camera ?, memory card ? mp3's ? etc....

    I would recomend the 6680 on 3 as had problems with 2 of my moto phones and nokia seem to be the best for holding 3 reception without many cut offs if any, ive had my nokia 6680 for over a week and im getting full bar reception in places i didnt with voadafone and the phone can be found on many sites offering good line rental reductions:D
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    If you are deciding between the two you mention then I would say (based on the physical size of the two hand sets) that the NEC 338 is by far the better deal.

    It is small and well designed and has the main features that most basic users would need - making phone calls and sending text messages.

    The C975 is big and bulky - you would not be happy with this brick IMHO.

    As others have said - there are better phones about but the low cost contracts after money back make these the best option for people who just want a phone to make calls and send txt messages and on the 3 Talk and Text 600 - certainly the NEC can be a good deal.

    Bluetooth is the current buzz word but you should ask yourself if you would actually use it - if not then forget it.
    Your really can not beat a good bargain !!!
