Hi,

I have a nokia 6230 at the moment, but its a bit broken (the speaker doesnt work and its chewed!)

What phone should I get for less than £50, I was looking at the Nokia 6280 which seem to go for around £50 second hand....

any thoughts?

Depends on what your after really, for looks maybe a v3, a good camera phone is a k750i, and so fourth. There really is quite a few you could try to get, but alas my friend it depends on what your after

k750 without a doubt!!!

im guessing they're going for £50 ish, but these are under priced for what they can do!

they were WICKED phones when they came out, and so people got them. price came down coz of age, and they still better than many new phones going for same price! so people kept buying them. ive had mine over 18 months now (firmware upgraded to w800 tho) and im noticing that about NOW, ervy1 i know has one! because they are so wicked. the only reason they are cheap is because they are cumming up to being 2 years old, and SE want to sell their their newer phones.

(if you think that didnt make sense, here goes...
SE want to sell newer phones which cost more. by reducing cost of k750, more and more people will get them. people dont tend to like having a phone EVRY1'S got, and want something new, unique and better than most peoples, so they'll buy a new 1. they realise SE are wicked, so they buy a NEW SE! it works, trust me)

...thats my theory anyway

apart from the stick may already be ruined, n70?

ooo, good point.

by the way, stick isnt ruined, SE joysticks are EXTREMELY durable....its the dust and crap that get in it, like evry1 says.

buy some "electrical contact cleaner"
(comes in a compressd can, usually buy a company called Servisol. crazy yellow S on logo)

open up your phone, remove evrything in order, upto the LCD. then spray the spray lyk 20 times into the shaft of the stick and jiggle it about evrytime (remoeve joy-tip b4)

your joy is then as gud as new! works perfectly in 99% of cases
