    Are you looking to buy in a shop or online.
    If its online try expansys.ie, l8shop.net or ebay

    Either really just looking for somewhere reliable and not too expensive!!

    I've used www.expansys.ie twice now.

    The first time I bought an I-mate SP5 and had some issues with it being faulty. After some arguments they eventually agreed to refund me for it.

    The second time I bought a Sony Ericsson W810i. Ordered Sunday @ 2AM and recieved Tuesday morning - not a bad service.

    To be fair they're quick to reply to emails and seem to have pretty good info on most products.

    Hope that helps some.

    Blanchardstown SC - Tommy's Wonderland of Value. On the left of the entrance they sell SIM free phones, reasonable range of nice phones. Not sure about the prices though, have only ever bought from VF.

    3G / Carphone do simfree aswell if you're in the centre.

    Was in Tommys today and the Nokia 6230i is €310 simfree. Expansys.ie it's €240. There's a comparison for you - though I didn't look at anything else.

    Probably true, still it's nice to see the phones in the flesh so to speak. Especially before Vodafone totally destroy them with those gawd awful custom icons they use.

    just get a nokia and unlock it instead of buying a sim free phone. or buy a phone on a different network and possibly pay €20 to unlock it. a hell of a lot cheaper. make sure its not a bb5 nokia (eg 6680, n70) though because they cant be unlocked

    I find Mphones to be the cheapest for sim free phones.

    Thanks for all the advice! The reason im going with sim free is the phone im looking at 7370 isn't available on any network (i think!) so i thinkn i will go with expansys or the onedaymobile.ie place because it seems cheap.

    You got a 7370? What's it like i can't decide between it and the 6270 or the 6280 but those those are a little bulky i think!

    I bought it for my wife she is very pleased with ,although it is very much a fashion phone it still works well.She has had a v3 ,loved the look of the phone but it wouldnt work with her bluetooth car kit and she had 2 break down in 2 months then got 6230i.She uses the phone for work and finds it good although has to charge battery every night.She would go thru about 700 to 800 mins a month and probably the same or more on incoming calls.It is very compact.

    They're the cheapest i could find, bought a Siemens SL75 off them, it was delivered in 3 days even though they are based in Germany!!
