Mobile phone reccommendations please.

[borderdawn]

I want to change my mobile. I want to stay on PAYG, dont want another contract and Id prefer to stay with orange. Thnking of spending £200-£250 on a handset, any ideas?

[Jane]

What are you planning to do with it? like, do you want it to be tiny or have big buttons? "normal" or flippy or slidey? Do you want it to have a good camera or aren't you bothered?

I want a new mobile myself so I have no recommendations lol just thought that that would help??

[Erin]

Ive just had the sony cyber shot phone 5 megapixel cam,its fab,think its out on pay as you go soon.
Not to complicated to use either

[Fran]

Ooooh Tom got a new phone for his birthday, it is on contract with Orange but I do think you can get it on pay as you go. Trouble is I don't know which one it is :oops: and he's just gone off to work. I'll text him shortly and ask him. It's one of those you shake and it changes the music track, so would only appeal if you were into listening music from your phone I suppose..

[Donna]

I cant fault Sony Ericcson phones.

[Fran]

This is the one Tom has just got...

Sony Ericsson W910i

I do like Sony, I have at present a Motorola V3X, which has been fine, but the battery life is dissappointing and Ive had it almost 2yrs.

I dont mind flippy phones, must do pics, 3 MP or above, must do downloads etc., pic/video messaging.

I like that one Fran, but I cant find out how much the handset alone is, ill have another look now. Keep the suggestions coming, and Erin, what model is your phone?

[Erin]

Mines the Sony K850i Dawn,not sure how much the handset is on pay as you go or sim free because I got mine free with my contract,but it is a great phone,the picture quality is fantastic,I took this one on my phone -

I looked at that today in the Carphone warehouse, I really liked it but they said it wasnt available sim free yet. They had a crap selection to be honest, I appreciate your help on here. Great pic!

My sister has had the Samsung G600, i quite like that too.

[Erin]

Ive found it sim free dawn but its not cheap,shame cause its a great phone -

try this one and scroll down to the PAYG

[borderdawn]

Thanks Erin, its a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I may still consider it.

Thanks Fran, If I could take my number, I would probably change companies, i do like that phone, Ill look into it more.
Dawn.

[Kazz]

I have a PAYG but have to say should get a new one as it is getting harder and harder wind up its that old.

[Fran]

I took my number from 02 a couple of years ago on PAYG so don't see there should be a problem Dawn

[Kazz]

In fact I think its the next step up from a pidgeon.

[Fran]

In fact I think its the next step up from a pidgeon.


:lol: @ Kazz!!

[borderdawn]

Thanks Fran, Ill investigate it tomorrow.

Kazz, what are you like!!!! :mrgreen:

[Grete]

Lol Kazz, sounds like my old phone, it was affectionately known as 'the brick' :)

I'm a Nokia girl through and through because the interface is so simple - I can't figure out most of the other ones :oops: :oops:

[borderdawn]

Thanks for all your suggestions. I had a look at a couple that were mentioned and eventually came away with the Sony Ericsson K800i. It has everything I want on it. I almost had the one Tom has but decided against it as I didnt want the music thingy. the one Erin has was nice too, but a bit pricey and apart from having more pixels in the camera, the difference was negligable. Thanks for you "Sony" reccommendations Im pleased with it up to now.

[Moli]

Thats the same as mine Dawn, brilliant phone, and get pictures too...

[Fran]

Phone looks great Dawn! Glad you are sorted, hope it lives up to all your expectations :D

[Grete]

Congrats on your new phone :) Better test the camera by posting pics :lol:

[borderdawn]

Will do Grete :)

[dandysmom]

Sounds very complicated to this non-techy person; glad you're pleased with it, Dawn!
