Jonny Jones Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) This has probably been talked about before but Im in a dilemma. I have a Samsung G600, and its shite - its the worst phone ive ever owned. Ive got a year or so left on the contract with it and 02 wouldn't let me upgrade to an iPhone this early under any circumstances. So the only other option I can see is to just buy a new phone with no sim? Good idea? So basically im after either a new Sony Ericsson or anything else that you peeps can suggest for my £150-£200 budget that I can simply put my current sim card into. Ideally I'd like it to have wi-fi etc but I dunno whats available in my budget.Many thanks in advance!Jonny.

Sam Ward Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Not too sure about the others, but DON'T get a Samsung Tocco as they are SHITE.what exactly is wrong with it, ive got it and its finei also had a g600 before it and i found that fine aswellbut as for phone advice why not spend a bit more money and get an unlocked iphone, then when your contract comes from renewal you can get a sim only contract instead which are soo much cheaper and you get your iphone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Jones Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thanks for the replies! Ive decided to go for http://shop.o2.co.uk/mobile_phone/Sony%20E.../W890i%20Silver - SE W890i in Silver.You have to buy a pay as u go sim with it. Can I simply remove this and slip my current contracted sim card into the phone and it will work fine?Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 yeah should be fine provided its on the same network/unlocked.have you looked on eBay as you can probably egt it a lot cheaper second hand, or even still a fair bit cheaper brand new on one of the shops.

Jonny Jones Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Ye ive looked, its more expensive, £165 in most cases unlocked, or £129.99 from 02 online with a sim, so id rather do that. Plus I know paypal is secure etc but I don't feel comfortable sending that much money over ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Whatever you do, DON'T get a W580i. I have one, and it's a peice of crap!I rarely use the camera, but that's not that great, not the worst though. Speaker's pretty good at first (for a phone) but mine's somehow blown, even though I don't play music on it?Also, buttons 1,2,3,4 have all cracked from texting. Some of the top ones aren't too responsive anymore, and just recently it's started deciding the sim card doesn't exist, even though it's in there? I usually spend ages taking it in and out, smacking the phone, and throwing it at the wall. Works after that. Best thing to do when looking at phones, is see one you like, and have a Google for any reviews/problems with them. I'm just wishing I thought of that before buying my one!
