[Apologies for OT post to diy]

Quick heads up please - looking for a walkman camera mobile on orange payg
for sprog. I've got a Sony-Ericsson w810i and he says he'd like something
like that, but I'm guessing it's been superseded since it's about 18
months old and the prices where I can find them are higher than I paid for
mine a year and a half ago. Current recommendations?

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

I have the W810i too - an excellent phone, as recommended by the above
site.
If you look at their review of the 810i they have some recommendations
as to a replacement.

I happen to have a brand new boxed SE W350 if you're interested?!

Sorry, didn't I mention bulletproof? ;-)

He's a teenager and I just know that flip flap'll flop on him so thanks
but I'll pass on the W350.

And you think the other is bullet proof . Just wait until he sits down
with it in his pocket and a set of keys cracks the lcd screen or he
drops it on the floor ..same result.Better off with a clam like one
like a 300i was .

I've done that lots of times with my W810i - gets a bit scratched but
it's still going. You can polish the screen - or simply fit a
replacement, it's easy enough.
I've had a few flip phones ( two Motorolas and a Sony ) - they all
broke.

Mine (W910i) cracked on both occasions not just scratched ( I've got a
screen protector for that ) .Luckily the replacements on Ebay are only
about £13 and easy to replace.

I'd recommend the ultra-thin stainless thing W880i. I admit I might be
biased though as I've got one on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=300280934063

It's a new handset/battery (replaced under warranty) and now surplus
to requirements following a contract upgrade.
