    What network are you on? The Nokia 3220 is €159 from the Vodafone online store (€169 in shops) with €60 credit. My mom got one recently and it seems like a nice phone.

    Im on vodafone so ill look into that.

    Edit: I see they have a Siemens C65 for €89 and a Sagem MyV55 for €119
    Which would be the better among the three (incl nokia 3220)

    Can't answer for the siemens C65, but I've got one of the Sagem myV-55s for testing with and it's a pretty decent phone (only used it to test stuff, not actual carry-it-around use). Very similar to the Sony Ericsson T610 (same screen) but the interface is totally vodafone-live-ified. If you can live with that might be a good one to go for.

    The nokia 3220 looks like a decent series 40 phone, can't go too far wrong - especially if you are used to nokia's interface.

    Just bought a Sony Ericsson T630 from phonesonline.ie for €117 with a free Spiderman 2 DVD (that's one Xmas pressie taken care of) and €70 credit. Nice phone, has everything you might need - camera, bluetooth etc.

    I have one aswell.

    I bought it for €179 a few months ago and it was good value then, now at €119 it is excellent.

    The screen is fantastic, it has bluetooth (very handy if you like to backup your phonebook, sms, photos etc), and it takes a lot of abuse (very well built), call quality is good.

    It's a bit slow (not annoyingly), the camera is crap (1/4 VGA), signal is not as good as some phones (not a problem unless you live in a radio hole like i do).

    Vonafone are behind the times with their 3220 pricing, 02 have it for EUR 99 with the usual xx free credit, they brought it down a few weeks ago in time for the xmas market.
