So i'm looking for a new phone. My current Sharp GX10i keeps crashing and shutting down, so i'm using an old sony ericsson phone which just isn't cutting it.
I prefer flip phones, because the screens won't get damaged in my pocket and they're generally smaller, but any recommendation will do as i will look through them all. Ideally wanting to spend between 100 and 150 UK pounds, but can be stretched if worth it. Must have bluetooth and GPRS. Not bothered about a camera (got a digital camera anyway).
Any recommendations? Cheers.

Best handset for £150 has to be the Sony Ericsson K750i, if you want a flip phone it would have to be a Motorola v3 for the money (although i hate them)

Always see so many v3s and v3is in for repair at work that it'd put me off them personally.
I'd go for the k750i :) Much better features all round.

Had a load of mates all had some form of problems with their V3/i's. Very prone to crashing.

lol to be honest I get just as many K750's in too. If you want something solid and reliable then I reckon a 6230i is the way to go, (yes I know its old). As far as a flip would go, if you're happy with how sharps work the new GX29 is pretty swish, very nice looking too. Cant really think of any other flips unless you get a GX30 off of the fleabay, never really heard a bad word about those. Got everything you want and a good camera.

True, forgot about the 6230i.
I know the k750i has a dodgy joystick at times, but the mot v3/i seems to be able to combine crap software with poor build quality so it has twice as many things that go wrong.
I'd never recommend a v3 or v3i unless the customer refuses to go for anything else, and then I sigh to myself and wait for them to come in a few weeks later with a problem.

Don't think so, or at least I haven't. :)

Unlucky :(
I've been lucky the past week, at one branch (I'm split between two) they've lowered my targets! :confused:
I usually meet them anyway so bit odd :o
