God i hate the V3 and to think when it was first released it was worth over £400. WAS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH EVER.
Oh believe me, when it came out (like, the first few weeks), it really was 
My Dad was one of the first to get one, got it haggled down to £70 on his contract, and for it's day and age (it's hard to remember just how little we had back then) it was amazing. Really a feat of enginering. Yeah, it had few features but it was the thinnest coolest phone around and really had some impact.
But oh yeah, it's crap now a days, tho you get a stylish phone with Bluetooth and a camera and a decent MP3 ringtone speaker for £30, thats pretty good.

Yeah i see your point though the V3i was better but the V3 camera was so bad it may as well not have been put on it. |

I remember back in 2004/2005 the V3 was the phone "everyone" wanted, early editions came in an OTT aluminium box, still got mine, bought it but the UI was typical Moto, at the time I much preferred the Nokia 6230 (still got that too  ) not as stylish but much more logical and efficient. Motorola sat on their corporate laurels with that one, just kept issuing new colours or a mild revamp (V3i) and got left behind. |

Miss UK its upto you but i would not recommend getting the 5300. Reason being i used to have one as a spare but got rid of it. Its so so poor at getting a signal with that phone its almost a joke and it would be even worse on T Mobile. When i had one where i normally get solid 5 bar signal with that phone i bearly got 2 bars. Absolutely awful phone. Though its upto to you of course if its for someone else. |

Can I suggest that we get back on subject. This is about posting bargains not discussing old phones.

Blimey, I might flog my E590 for cash just to get one of those W350i's! 
I bet PK is happy now
And sorry to 'thread steal', but Kerry, I had a 5300 for about 4 months, and it was one of the single best phones I've ever owned, especially for a back up. Strong, bouncy, reliable, likes being thrown on the ground a little ( ) and had a lovely screen and really loud clear MP3 player. They go for next to nothing on ebay, seeing as it's almost 2 years old, or keep an eye out in the shops, but their creeping up in price due to the fact their no longer made.
