    Please dont the V3, they look pretty but.... its a motorola

    if your going to spend that much on a phone,
    get a lend of more money and get a 6230i or anything else, it'll save you so much hassle in the future, trust me

    a good phone should last at least three years, not six months imo :)

    edit: i always put to many smilys in my posts, looks stupid!! have removed two of them

    Don't get the V3. It looks nice but its got crappy, crappy, ancient features. I know you said camera don't bother you, and in fairness as vga cameras go the v3 is fine.

    But crappy memory, and when I say crappy, it's REALLY crappy. No expansion slot. No video recording unless you want to flash the phone yourself and risk messing up the firmware. Countless other things.

    Just a terrible phone for the price really.

    What features are you looking for? There are a few really nice phones for under 150 on voda 3g with features that are light years ahead of the over-rated v3.

    If you are on Meteor you can't go wrong with the k700i for a measly 119 euro if bought in Xtra Vision (free DVDs too!)

    Bluetooth
    40mb Internal Memory
    Camera slightly better then VGA quality
    LED Light for night time shots
    Video Recording
    Mp3 Playback
    FM Radio

    It's a great phone. Although fast becoming the new 3310/3510/3200 due to its price, so if you are like me, you just won't bring yourself to buy it and opt for something a tad more unique :cool:
