Want to help me pick a phone?

    Hi!

    I'm looking for a pay-as-you-go Meteor phone.
    • I'd like a decent camera, but it's not essential
    • I'll probably use it the odd time for the internet, but again not essential. I don't really know what the different specs relating to internet mean though!
    • I don't really use my phone for music ever
    • Price range - €150 max
    • I've tried most of the different brands at one stage or another, but tend to prefer Sony and Nokia because they seem to be pretty much indestructible. (I drop my phone a LOT :o)
    If you need to know anything else, let me know!

    At the moment, I'm looking at this Sony and this Nokia. Actually, I'm probably leaning more towards the Sony because the camera seems better and I'm not sure if I'd like a touchscreen like on the Nokia, never had one before. ... what do ye think?

    Any other suggestions welcome too of course!

    Thanks! :D

    They were the two I was going to suggest :D
    The 5530 is newer as you know, but wouldn't have as good a camera. I'd go for the C902 if I were you.

    Well I'm thinking if I actually had a phone with a decent camera I'd probably end up using it more?

    I'm just looking at the C510 now ... I've no idea if there's much difference between a 3.2 mp camera and a 5.0 mp camera ... is it worth the €30 difference?

    I mean, I don't want to be throwing away money unnecessarily, but I don't change my phone very often ... if it's a better phone, then €30 spread over the length of time I'll have it doesn't seem very much!

    Also I kind of prefer the look of the C902!

    I work in Carphone Warehouse, from what you're saying, the Nokia 6303 is the one for you.

    You'll be hard pressed to find a Sec902 anywhere these days, and the 6303 is a good all rounder.

    3 meg camera.
    Radio
    MP3 Player
    Good Battery
    Great Display
    Slim enough

    AND only e99.

    Silver one is the only one you can get really, unless you want Brown or Pink and Black.

    Ooh I had a look on the CW site and found this version of it, prettyful!!! :D

    OK when it says "upgrade with up to €150 free call credit" ... would you know how much credit I'd actually get, if any?

    Thanks!

    That's on meteor only so if you're on Meteor then Happy Days. As for the e150 credit, it's for porting customers. Upgrading generally scores you e40 - e50.

    Bring an old banger of a phone to trade in, and get a tenner off as long as it works!

    Look at me, promoting CPW!!
