Wherever you go, take the compact Sony Ericsson K610i with you, and you can enjoy email and high-speed web access, and sophisticated media content. The compact and classic K610i is intuitive and enjoyable to use, with great graphics, clear navigation and one press access to your favourite functions.

Nice find. It's worth mentioning that Vodafone have had the V600i, a similar handset, on pre-pay on their online store at £90 for some time now. A family member just bought one and has been absolutely blown away by the value for money.

It's encouraging to see some decent 3G handsets entering the pre-pay space.

I've also found that Orange have got a wee shop on eBay. (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/the-orange-store_W0QQsspagenameZL2QQtZkm)

There's Sanyo S750 and 750is, SE K600is and 6630s on there, all going for under £50 in most cases. They're all refurbs, the same handsets that the Orange Shop refurb page shows, however, you at least stand the chance of getting the same handset for considerably less! Suppose it's good to know about also if you broke your handset and had no insurance, you could pick up a little bargain on there!

Nice find, but buyers should be aware that their sellers reputation is not all that good, quite a few negative. Okay, so it is Orange and they aren't going anywhere soon. But they've managed to make a few fed up with non delivery and non communication. Ten in the last month. For an "ordinary" seller that reputation would be a fatal one to gather - can Orange really get away with it? Judging by the sales they are making, the answer would appear to be "Yes".

So, at least be prepared for a bit of hassle - and consider it a bonus if it doesn't happen.

More should do this :)
