I've had a P1i for a few months, free on O2 with 750 minutes and texts, seemed like a great deal but I'm tied into the contract for another year and I've grown tired of bulkiness of this phone, plus I find it hard to text on.

I'm thinking of buying a cheap(ish) sim free phone from Expansys. Is the W880i too old to consider? It seems like a good compromise on price, design and features and is very slim, the W890i is too expensive around £300.

I did like the T650i but the SAR rating seriously put me off.

Any recommendations or advice?

Thanks, Tom.

i dont think w880i is good, the cam sucks, and the build is good but the keypad is so tiny. I preffer w610i (if it is still sold) [addsig]

why dont you sell the p1 to fund buying the w890i, Depending on condition you should get a good chunk of the £300 for the w890i

Really? Browsing eBay I didn't think I'd get more than about £75 for a used P1i. It's in very good condition but wasn't sure if I'd be able to sell it. I think I'd like a K770i now. How much do you think a reasonable price for a P1i is?

I wouldn't go for the w880i because the keys really are bothersome.
If you have problems with a high sar rating then phone with headsets.

Thanks for the advice guys, think I'll steer clear of the W880i and go for a K770i. I just want something simple and sleek which I can actually fit in my pocket!

If anyone is interested in a P1i I think I'll have one to sell, unless my brother really wants it!
