Exclamation

I'm looking for a new mobile and I'm torn at the moment.

I've been looking at the Motorola V66 and Nokia 8310 phones, but not sure if there are any reliablity issues, etc.

I don't need a car kit for the phone, only a personal handsfree kit.

I've found them for £89.99 as long as I take out a contract, but can anyone recommend a cheaper supplier?

Thanks
Andy

Check around on the net .... buzz-mobile.co.uk and www.mobiles.co.uk were cheaper - so I printed off the prices and got the local vodafone shop to pricematch.

You have looked at the T68 haven't you ??

The T68 doesn't do it for me!

I have a Nokia 6210 which does everything I need, but I saw this as an oppertunity to get a tarty phone!!

Ive seen somebody offering a Nokia 8210 for FREE!!!

How do people like this make money, giving phones away left right and centre.

Bet it's just a ploy to get you into the shop to buy other goods.

Don't they make their money from commission on selling the contracts??

Best prices so far for the contracts I'm looking at are here: http://www.directmobilephones.com

Thumbs up

Rik,

If it's free, I'll happily pay your postage (and the price of a pint or two)!!

Free and NO contract, that's too good to be true!

Let me know how you get on, drop me a mail (as your mail address is not displayed)

Cheers
Andy

buy a v66 and definately not the 8310 as they are suffering from serious software bugs at present and bad reception/signal like an early 90s brick phone

I should probably add I wouldn't buy a Motorola phone

Speaking from experience of working for two telco's, Big M have some quality 'issues'!
