Siemens CX65

Does anyone know where I can find a relatively cheap Siemens CX65 for my teenage daughter. Have done the 'spend £100 and it gets broken' bit, so I am really not wanting to fork out too much this time. Any advice would be greatfully received :beer:
Thanks
:rotfl:

    Try Ebay. ;)

    I picked one up for £35 including postage earlier on this year, although this did have a bit missing.

    That just about the price I am looking for! Where did you get it from?

    Ebay. Do you use Ebay? If you don't and you don't want to register, maybe a friend or relative can get it for you.

    The CX65 I bought does have the thumb-pad missing, so that might have knocked down the price.

    Do a search now, there's quite a few listed.

    My son bought that model in Singapore in October 2004.
    I don't know if you are aware but it does have a fault with it in as much as the battery doesn't last long. Fortunately somebody on here gave me Siemen's phone number and they are going to repair it free of charge - lucky because it is 11 months old now. So if buying a second hand one I would be aware of this fault. Also the letter "C" on his doesn't work and they have had a few back because of this aswell. He likes it though but I'd be a bit wary buying second hand - IMO that is!

    Thank you for that Lara - I did not know about this. That is really helpful. Maybe we need to look at another phone instead as it looks like the only place to get one is on the second hand market.
    Thanks so much for that. :beer:

    That's OK, glad I was of help. As it is a discontinued item I think your daughter may prefer an "in date" model anway! lol
