Phone advice

My wife's contract is up and she's looking for a change. She has a Samsung
E720 at the moment which she is not unhappy with except for the fact that it
doesn't work properly with her Nokia CK7W car kit (so much echo it's
unusable).

So, can anyone recommend a reliable flip-phone that will work OK with this
car kit? Ideally supporting voice dialling but this isn't critical. We're
with O2 at the moment and there doesn't seem to be anything on their
web-site that fits the bill. Looking further afield I've looked at the Nokia
N76 (only available from Voda) and the older Nokia 6131 (which I could buy
from eBay) but neither have good reviews. Reliability is the biggest issue
as apparently any piece of technology that fails in my household is my fault
;-) We're happy to get another make if someone can confirm compatibility
with the car kit.

TIA

Liam

FYI the E720 doesn't seem to be compatible with any other Samsung
phone I have seen/used/owned.
The pinouts on the connector/charger are distinctly different from
other models such as P510/C300/D500i/E900/U600 which all use the same.

Having said that the Nokia Car kit is Bluetooth so any model should be
OK.
I've just got myself a Sony E K800i and it is really quite good.
