Nokia E72 is a nice device. It’s thin, has a decent camera, the standby time is superb and has qwerty kb (girls really like that!). Besides that it looks elegant and the device isn’t expensive.

However, I think £49 is a pipe dream even if you manage to order one ... that figure sprang from some US press reports claiming that Pre 3 would be sold in Europe at $75 (which is around £49 depending on the conversion rate you pick). Personally I think £90 - £120 is a more realistic figure, if you are lucky enough to have an order accepted and honoured.

I think either E6 or C6-01 would be perfect replacements.
So she's got a 6??0 something or other that is old and she's using as a standby.
She would like a new phone (fair enough) and would like to stick with nokia. She doesn't want/need a smartphone, but a 'featurephone' would be handy, she likes to take photos and stuff...
I was thinking of getting her a Pre-3 when it comes available in the UK (£49 sim free apparently) but it would probably be a bit complicated for her to use.
She would like something with a hardware keypad, candybar style as she found the X6 touchscreen a bit too sensitive and it took her a while to get used to it.
What should I be looking at, something in the 'C' range from Nokia perhaps?
I would probably purchase it sim free as she's on an Orange contract, but not due an upgrade for a while, and I hate Orange branding on phones...
Cheers everyone...
