Nokia 3510i

I am interested in getting this phone as part of a good one year Vodafone
package. Are there any views on it in this news group?
TIA

All depends on what you need in a mobile-phone.

The 3510i is a pretty cheap phone these days, and it's usually found
offered on PAYG rather than contract. There are better specified (more
expensive) handsets to be had for *free* on a one year pay-monthly Voda
contract

Thanks for that. My needs are quite basic and the package looked good
value at £17.50 a month (but with 6 months rebated in two instalments, one
of three months after three months and the other of three months after nine
months). So the net cost per month over the year would be £8.50. It
provides:

1) 1000 off peak minutes
2) £6 of SMS/MMS/data per month

I *was* gonna get it, but then seen the Nokia 3200. I was put off by the
keypad of the 3200, but too many people have judged the keypad before using
it. I can still out-text my friends after having it only a week, learning
the new layout takes hours...not days. The 3200 is just the Swiss army knife
of colour, entry level Nokia's, it has the lot (camera, FM radio, 16 chord
polyphonics [****s on 7210 and 7250's 4 chord], it even has a torch!!! I'm
so glad I got this over the 3510i. My mate had a 3510i and he says it's not
very durable, it squeaks when held and the keypad feels 'tacky'. Put the
small few £/$'s extra in for the 3200, I would. (or even the 3100, both can
be picked up at a good price already)

WTF...A torch !?!?...BTW is it actually any good as a mobile-phone ? i.e.
making and receiving phonecalls. And what's the battery life like ?

Another thing with the 3200. It's got a camera, so how do you transfer the
photos to the PC ? This thing ain't got iRDA or Bluetooth, you MUST *buy*
the optional extra DKU-5 cable...stupid or what ?

It does have infrared. Sending receiving pictures/ringtones to/from a pc is
a breeze.

HTH,

Yep. A powerfull one at that.

Great reception. Battery life is OK, there is better of course.....250hrs
standby/4hrs talk. It's a great phone!
