3310 or even a second hand 8310, much more text storage on a 8310. Avoid 8210's coz they're wank. Other than them, any Samsung.

6310i, quite possilby the best phone ever lol, its like outlook on a phone. 500 Names (with 3 numbers and an address/email) but thats if you only put one number to a name.

stores 155 texts on the phone/sim.

its not the smallest phone in the world but its a decent size so you wont loose it as fast.

plus its hard as fook, ive run mine over with a tractor :s oops

i didnt rate my 8310

which is why i upgraded with orange ?15 for a 6100 with free cam :twisted: PMSL

it is basically the same as a 7210 but in a smaller handset - uses same software ive been told.

if money would stretch try get one of them matey there faptastic

avoid 8310 if u can help it. so many of them have software problems.

uf you need a phone badly any phone will do - try ebay - theres humndreds there - most sim free.

The prob is you need to make sure the phone is unlocked (unless thats what you mean) - most cruddy market stalls (guys that flog changeable copvers) can do this for ?5

Mate a 7210 & 7250 are way out of ur price range....if u want a decent phone, go for a 8310 as u can store s#!t loadz of texts and numbers...if u phone ends up having software problems get it sent away to nokia for a free software upgrade! You can get a 5210 from the orange shop for ?99 get it unlocked for a tenna and uv saved urself a tenna.... :lol:

with the 8310 they tried to fix the problem with the screen fcuking up that they had on the 8210 and in the process fcuked up loads of other stuff too... half dozen mates have had them and dumped them coz they are poo, yeah they can hold loads of numbers and texts but when they get full they go REALLY REALLY slow. Girl i know once showed me that she had 140+ text messages in her inbox, and it took about 5 minutes to view the inbox contents from the menu!!!

RUBBISH!!
