As title, my mother's tiring now of her 6 year old 5110, and is after a cameraphone, but doesn't have much money spare. I'm looking for a Nokia cameraphone, I'm afraid it has to be a Nokia as she can use them (otherwise I'd give her an  one, but she'd struggle to get used to it!).
Got a budget of around £20 - £30, looking for something like a 6610i, although it would be nice to get her a Bluetooth enabled one, so she can easily transfer pictures from the camera to the PC, but that's not majorly important, and I think I'm pushing my luck asking for a Nokia one in my price range! 
Also it HAS to be easy to use, so sadly can't give her a cheap smartphone like the 7650, it would confuse her! And have fairly big and easy to press buttons (so not the 3200 I'm afraid).
I hope I'm not been too exacting and precise here, tell me what you've got!

If you could maybe stretch by a further £10 i'm sure you could pick up a nice little 6230 mate

Do you have one for around £40 then? If so, i may be interested, though it is out of my budget!
I do actually have a 6230, but it's got that NAND chip problem - where it says that the memory's full when it actually isn't, plus it's a bitch to turn on. Other option is, could anyone fix that problem for me - for a nominal fee, of course? That would be perfect for her then!

I can reflash it for you if that would make any difference.

That might well work - how much would it cost?
It otherwise works - makes/recieves calls (when you get it to switch on!), has an earlyish firmware version, 3.10 I think, so an update could well fix it! pm me details of where to send it to

Bump, has anyone got anything to offer, just in case that 6230's past redemption?

The flash attempt on the 6230 failed unfortunately, so looking for another phone now for my Mum?
I don't suppose anyone could do a 6230 for 40 quid, preferably boxed or at least with instructions. If not, what could you give me for £30-£40 max?

Yep, there others I'm looking for, would prefer to get one off here rather than Ebay, it's tending to be a bit overpriced on there!
