Mobile for the wife

Oxide™ · 17 Sep 2009 at 14:17

Another spec me thread guys, have searched through past months posts but nothing I found with my criteria.

Wife's contract is due for upgrade next week, she is with Three (so am I) and would ideally like a slide phone with colour. She has expressed she likes the look of the red E75 which doesnt look like it's available yet.

I suspect she can't afford it as we are ideally looking for a contract phone no more than £20 per month. Must have wifi, internet addon and a decent camera, preferably with Three as I am with them aswell and benefit from free 3to3 calls.

Is there anything like this available? any suggestions?
thanks

Not sure on a phone but she could be on any network and still get free calls to you as part of her package. 600 mins (or however many) is 600 minutes to whoever.

Women seem to love those Samsung Tocco's nowadays although I wouldnt have one!

thanks knip

- I meant the free unlimited 3to3 calls are in addition to her 500 mins per month although it's not a deal breaker if she has to move to another network for a better mobile.

Searching the internet does not yield any good phones for below £20 per month. Closest I found was the Nokia 6700 but it has no wifi but still appears to be a good phone - can anyone please comment?

She currently has a SE c902 - does not want touchscreen or qwerty

Slider with Wifi and a decent camera?

Maybe you can get an N95 8GB?

agnes · 17 Sep 2009 at 16:15

W995?

Has all the functions you wish for, I pick up mine tonight. Woot.

I think three will probably throw themselves at you if you tell them you want to leave.

I had a pay as you go sim and I tried to get a PAC code and they offered me a free blackberry, 900 minutes, unlimited texts and internet for £25 a month.

I'd only been with them a week...

Theres just nothing out there - I would love her to get the E72 but it will be out of the price budget. I have the E71 and totally love the thing.

N95 - she doesn't want a brick
W995 - too expensive

thanks for suggestions guys, will keep looking

agnes how is that W995? can get the red one through beepy at £25pm or so.

On the shortlist we have:
Nokia 6700 (I would suggest this one)
SE C903 (great deal on three atm for this)
SE C905

yet to be released:
Nokia 6260
Nokia E52

What do you guys suggest?

The W995 can be had for £20 p/m if you search around for it - albeit with a 24 month deal!

Go for a second hand e66 combined with a sim only deal.

The e66 does everything you want and is a fantastic phone.

Oxide™ · 22 Sep 2009 at 16:30

Thanks for all the suggestions guys but I think she has decided on this deal http://threestore.three.co.uk/dealsummary.aspx?offercode=18UT20D114&bundled=0 (she can get it in white too and has everything she wants)
