Ps the 6111 is pretty basic to say the least, I found camera was poor, mp3 rubbish (down to the fact the internal mem is about 20mb if i'm right, with no external mem slot) The FM radio is passable, but its more a cute looking phone, than user friendly. If you like nokia sliders the 5200/5300 models are better value as they are music phones.

The voda one is very simple, very basic, no frills.

The e250 is not bad, and does if im right have an external mem slot. But deal wise I think the best one is the 7373 deal as above, or the w810i, which is really good value!! check them out!

I personally would say its no problem. I have bought the 7373 just last week, no probs.

It is owned by Carphone Warehouse. They, from what I can see, prefer to use a secondary site to sell lots of their clearance or "out of season" products. Put it like this, I would choose this site over Phones4u's main site!! And defo would not go near dialaphone! But it all comes down to personal experiences.

I got it for the other half, she broke her samsung lipstick phone on her hols last month, and is waiting for 3 months till her upgrade comes thru...a brilliant interim phone!! Its not bad in all of what you'd be looking for too!

Nokia wise too, you know what you are getting with this. Im not a fan of nokias personally, but they are simple to use and it's not given her any probs as such, even though its only been 5 days! But all good so far!!


Ps having just asked the missus, it has everything u asked for....

2mp camera (inc video...as most do these days)
bluetooth
radio
mp3 (and external Mem card slot for expansion)
