O2 upgrade options - SE T630 for €49 or not?

milltown

Having a goo at the O2 site there and checking out upgrade options and I can get a T630 for €49. Seems like excellent value for a new phone, bluetooth is a bonus. Saw the 630 discussed in other threads here and most reports are good but is there anything better for similar money?

I'm a Nokia man for years but their UI is not as intuitive as it used to be imho so I'm willing to experiment.

I had a T630 for a while and really liked it, moved on to a K700. I'm becoming a big SE fan. I'm also of the belief that getting a phone on a bill pay upgrade that is available as a pay as you go phon eis a bit of a waste of a chance to get a goo dphone at a reduced price.

If you get it in Carphone Warehouse, it's gone down to e29 on bonus upgrade and e19 on advantage, just to let you know....

I have an SE T630, and a Nokia 6600 and 3100, and to be honest I'm very disappointed with the SE T630. Compared to the 3100, It only holds a small amount of SMS's, inferior bat life. Compated to the 6600 or 6230, it's laughable, the camera is really bad for a new fone, menu is difficult to use, you can't switch between apps like on a 6600. In short, I'm sorry I got it, I'd check round before I upgraded to it, I got mine as a ready to go fone for work calls, but I'd dump it if it was my main fone.

Its not a new phone its about a year old at this stage i think, even at that it was only an upgraded (screen-wise i think) T610.

I know it's only a t610, with a new cover, but still The camera quality is dire. even for a year old design.

Its not worth wasting a pay later upgrade on

you can use a sim from the same operator in any of their phones, its not locked to a particular sim, just network.

Well i got this phone for xmas, have to say over all i like it

Camera is a tad ****e though, good concept though (holding the camera sideways like a real camera, taken to the extreme with another SE phone i saw, 1.3MP and the back looked like a Sony Cybershot)

Nice interface, easy to use (the 'joystick' click to accept etc)

Battery is great, have charged it 3 times since xmas

Text messages are a bit slow, and maybe the capacity isnt that great either, although i had about 40 messages overall before i deleted em
