I'm after a cheap (approx $100) new phone for my gf. She likes nokias. Bluetooth would be a bonus. She'd be going with iSim prepaid so preferably one not locked to a network (unless it's an optus network)

End of contract in 2 months = new upgrade / phone

trying to pick out a phone is getting fun,

the 6290 nokia caught my eye, but i don't know the release date in australia (just "coming soon")

http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-6290-en.shtml

Seems to have a nice writeup at the moment

Ditto the n75, just dunno which phone i should go for. any hints / tips as to either or.

I just got a Nokia 6300 as an interim phone until the E65 is available, then the g/f gets the old 6300

Tsudo · 21st March 2007, 9:21 PM

looking for a new phone as my V360 is starting to fall apart (sorta)

Needs to be -

<$200
Slim <20mm

That is all

i've seen the V3 but i was wondering if there were any others out there just as slim but cheaper. Just really need it to make calls and if it has a camera then great if not it's no big deal

I walked into a 3 store at Highpoint in Melbourne last week and they had no stock problems with the 838Pro on a $29 cap.

As for a new model ... HTC Kaiser-based units are expected sometime in Q3 2007. Kaiser is essentially a "step-up" from the Hermes-based 838Pro - it adds native WM6, a 3MP camera, 256Mb memory (from 128Mb) and, if the advance scouting is correct, an operating GPS chip.

Motorola L6 $150 from telstra ? 11mm think i think and similar features to V3.

Tsudo, Get a Sony Ericsson or a Nokia

Theres a Sony Ericsson K750i on optus prepaid for $279, of course It can be unlocked and debranded by a few people on this forum. Highly recommended phone.

N76 is the closest thing.

yeh i was thinking bout the K750i hmm.. the L6 looks alright but it'd cost to unlock it since i'm already on Optus i might just grab the K750i.

Anyone used an L6 before? are they decent phones?

I haven't used the L6 but I'm sure its like most motorolas...The SE K750i is more reliable and has better features. Also if you really wanted to, you can also get the firmware upgraded to w800i which gives you the advantage to use the mp3 player on the plane (flight mode)
