meteor have added the sony ericsson k550i and the nokia 6300 to their prepay phones

which one to go for?

Personally, I'd go for the 6300. Wasn't a huge fan of the K550i. Bit fiddly on the buttons front.

Get the Sony Ericsson W810i. Don't like the buttons on the K550i at all. The Nokia 6300 is nice - but W810i's the one to go for.

Gots to love that.

What do I get? The 6300 or the K550i? Answer: The W810i.

It's a great phone, lads, but it's not the only good one out there. It's a good bit bigger than both phones mentioned so he could be looking for a smaller phone.

ha ha, had been originally thinking of getting the w810i before the other two went on pre-pay. had discounted it, tho' I'll look at it again.

the buttons on the k550i do look awkward being so small. Camera isn't supposed to be as good as the k750i (I s'pose I could get the red k750i and change the casing)

camera on the 6300 isn't supposed to be great and reading some reviews battery life is not so hot either.

(and to complicate matters, I'm looking at a car tonight that as far as I know, has a nokia car kit already installed. If I was to get that car, I'd have to get a compatible nokia phone.)

Some of these new Nokias have a smaller power plug, and probably the other connections too.

is it me or is meteors selection of phones quite poor in comparison to the other operators, or is their catalogue out of date?

the new nokias utilise a smaller power adapter jack and utilise mini-USB connectors for connection to laptop/PC etc.

The camera on the 6300 seemed fine to me and the screen quality is very good. Not sure about overall battery life though i didnt think it wore down particulary fast, especially considering how much usage it gets when you are testing them lol.

The keypad on it however i found to be very easy to use and very responsive unlike many others which are hard to press accurately or at speed.

Meteor have no 3G network, so they only use non 3G phones.
That's the main difference.

they have a 3g license and some of their phones are 3g

License yes, but it's recent.
No 3G network is what I said.
I hope that changes.

I'm due an upgrade, and was going to get the K550i which at least has EDGE,
but obviously I'd rather have a 3G handset and be more futureproof.

Which of their phones are 3G?
