The only thing bout the 6230i is that it isn't cheap (E370) .

To save a little bit you could go with the 6630 (E299), I got mine for E200 with a trade in, vodafone had a good offer on that month (E100 off any 3G phone with a trade in, just the phone no charger ,no book, etc) and you could wait and see if they bring something like that back. i can't really think of anything off hand.

The things you don't want and the things you do tend to come together.

Thanks guys. I went off and did some searching and found the 6230i was probably the best, that was before I saw it mentioned here. You have all confirmed it.
It is cheap enough to buy it online.

Got it for €207 new on ebay, and a new 2gb card for €112.

€319 for the lot including delivery, not too bad.
