@Mods - I hope this doesn't count as spamming or double posting, as this thread is specifically for my acquiring phones for the experiment I'm running, sorry if it is

I have decided to run another experiment similar to my previous 'T68i to W800i' experiment.

I currently don't have a 'starter' phone, so I'm looking for a phone for about £10 or so, preferably working, or if it is faulty to have some sort of hardware problem like a broken screen. I still have almost no software fixing skills, I'm being a bit of a luddite there, have heard too many horror stories of people killing their phones. I also can't do any soldering jobs as I don't have the experience or tools for that, so no faulty joysticks or missing power buttons. Anything else goes however!

PM me or post here if you have an ideal starter phone, looking for something like a T610 or similar cheapie camera phone, or something like a Nokia 3100, 6100, Moto V500 or such like. Would prefer it to come with a charger too, saves me having to buy one to go with the phone.

The T630 has sold for £36, so am now after a phone (or phones) to that value, and not above.

I'm keeping an eye on some promising phones on Ebay, but also wondering what people have here?

Anyone got anything for me for £36? Let me know!

The D500 in the current phase of the experiment is on Ebay at the moment but finishes tomorrow evening. I'm hoping it'll go for £50 or so, so am putting out 'feelers' now to see if anyone has a phone or phones for the next part of the experiment.

What have you got for around the £50 mark that I could use in the next phase once the D500's sold? It can be faulty or just tatty, but as I say no software faults as I can't fix them still I'm afriad!

Hi Sammy

MAY(can't confirm until Monday latest) have a D750 in need of a new housing! Well, I say it's a D750, but It's actually running as a W800(R1BC firmware), and I've put some patches on it(camera light, flight mode, active Walkman button, etc)......oo, not locked, and the joystick works! Just phone, battery(and charger if you want it).......sound interesting to you?? Let me know.....

p990i(r6d), n82-1(20.0.062)

That sounds ideal! Of course it also depends on what the D500 goes for as to what I can offer you, but would £45 or so be OK for it if you do sell it?

Though of course I'll need a bit left over for a new facia but that phone would make a good next 'step up'

Any other offers out there?

Bump, I'll also accept working phones that perhaps just need a clean up or a new facia, or simply if you just want rid of an old phone cheaply!
