Advice needed - Buying new phone!

    Hola to teh interwhibs!

    I'm buying my girlfriend a new phone for her birthday and was wondering if any one has any recommendations?

    Feature wise there's not too much to be fussy about! Slim and stylish preferably (pink/red colour if possible!), Wi-Fi is always a plus but not a must-have. Touch screen is a no no, and she has a Nokia at the moment so she'd probably prefer to keep the same brand!
    Trying to keep the price in and around the €200's. Don't mind if it goes a bit over but let's just keep in a "The lower, the better" state of mind! :p

    Was looking at the Nokia 5630 and was pretty close to buying, but I thought there would be no harm in asking for other peoples advice!

    Looking forward to hearing your responses!

    Probably worth looking in a shop. To me a phone is a personal thing, so I'd only want something I'd specifically expressed an interest in! Maybe tell her you want a new phone and see what she likes?!

    Do not get the Nokia 5530, I have one less than a month and so far the internet keeps crashing, my caller log doesn't show any history (if I miss a call I have no clue who it is), I cannot receive a message until I send one and my Youtube wasn't working up until yesterday for some odd reason.

    Full of bugs that Nokia aren't taking account of. I have to send mine away now tomorrow, I'm furious.

    You could try the Nokia X3. No wifi or 3G but a nice looking phone and good features otherwise, also within your budget. Not sure if any of the Irish networks stock it yet but available below:
