Cheapest Mobile With Wifi?

Elsterap

Wifi is the only feature i really really need on a mobile, but cant seem to find information on phones that specifically have wifi! :mad:

Anyone know of a cheap phone that has wifi?

Then do a price comparison if you are looking for one on Pay as you go

The Nokia N80 or the Nokia E65 are reasonably cheap

And the Nokia E51, I believe.

6301 on Orange, but only on contract. The 6300i is due out soon.

My understanding is that the 6301 doesn't offer WiFi, just integrated WiFi for switching between landline and VoIP.

If you would go for a separate wi-fi only phone, see the UT Starcom F1000g (they've called it Tovo T1000) on a clearance offer at Tesco for ~£40. Or the Pirelli Wi-fi/GSM phone is called Tovo 450g there, now reduced to £80

But if you meant wi-fi for internet browsing as well, rather than just for VoIP, then those won't do that.

Just wifi won't be enough, trust me.

What do you want the Wifi for. To listen, do what with?

You're approaching bleeding edge here.... Believe, Star!

Be careful with Wifi as it is a range of standards:

I got a cheap £99 SE P990i to replace my trusting Nokia 6630 phone as it had a keyboard and was only a bit more than the Nokia.

When I got the P990i I found that usign WPA2 at home with a 63 byte random key would kill the battery in a 4 hours, I switched to an open Wifi network and the battery life is >2 days. The open Wifi is on a firewalled blue segment on my quad zone home network and my mail servers for the phone use SSL.

So in this example I could work around the limits of this old Wifi phone. The CPU on it is a bit slow so rendering web pages etc is not great,but fine for Mp3, RSS etc. and I have Tom Tom running on it fine.

If you can afford a newer handset with Wifi then try and get that as these tend to have better browsers and security in hardware = better battery life.

As has been said before it depends what you want to do.

We have WEP at work and that if fine with the P990i as this is supported in hardware and so does not burn the CPU

Wifi can be a very cheap option but check all the things you want to do before buying as you may incur addtional costs such as running a clear Wifi network and firewall, I had the option to reconfigure my existing network so my incremental costs was just my time to do this.
