New Phone for birthday
 
I want a Nokia 7250i as it looks like a nice phone, has polyphonic ringtones and camera etc, but all the sim free ones i serach for are so expensive. Ones that come with sim cards are like £30-£60, so why are the non sim ones even more expensive. I think im allowed to spend upto £100 to be on the safe side so if anyone can find any deals online worth looking at, post the links here.

SIM free phones always tend to cost more.

I think phones with SIMs are cheaper as they are subsidised to get you to sign-up to whoever provides the SIM.

If i was to go into a phone store and say that im with O2, do you think i will get it cheaper?

If you buy a PAYG O2 phone it'll be cheaper than a sim free one, you won't get a sim free one cheaper just by telling them your with O2 .. they won't care!

The non-SIM phones are more expensive because the price isn't subsidised by one of the networks.

Changed my mind on that model and am going for a flip phone instead. The Motorola V550

wap browser = wap pages
HTML browser = proper web pages on your phone :)

So are the WAP pages just plain text? The idea is that it is only for checking email.
