3 Phones
Can you stick a 'normal' sim in a 3g phone and just use it 2g ?
Mate has an NEC 616 and I quite like it, I dont however want a contract as I am getting rid of mine after 8 years cos I ont use it that often but the '3' PAYG looks like a Pain in the **** like the old PAYG mobiles with time limits.

I don't think so - 3 phones use a uSIM - and won't accept a normal SIM....
At least I've tried a Vodafone SIM from an S55 in a 3 (LG 8120 or whatever it's called) phone with a uSIM- and vice versa - and neither worked.

I bought 2 616s but when i seen how the tariff worked it was crap as you say so they went on ebay and i made a small profit
looked into unlocking them but if you can you will loose the best features like the video etc so not worth it

you can unlock them but it really isnt worth it in all honesty although i believe nec do do a phone similar for every network a normal simwill not immediately fit straight into a 3 phone ... have a look on ebay you may be able to get an unlocked one on there
