[Milamber06]

Hi guys

Any reccomdations for a cheap phone that will last the majority of the festival?

Nokia 3310

I've bought an old k800i with 2 batteries for £30, already had two good batteries so ill have 4 fully charged batteries for weds-mon... I'm determined to take photos this time!

I've got two free SIM cards from O2 so I don't even change my number, and my contract is unaffected, and I'll keep my free texts/calls etc

I bought a Nokia 100 from prepay mania - cost £9.98 and is meant to have a battery life of 850 hours!

Snake II here we go

i use a samsung something or other. it's small and black - that's not particularly helpful - but the battery is amazing. I dug it out a week ago, haven't turned it off since, and it's still on more than half battery. and it wasn't even fully charged when I turned it on!

edit: I bought it in 2011 (at the Carphone Warehouse, I think), for £10/£15

edit no. 2: it's one of these:

I bought a Nokia 1800 to use for Glastonbury 2011, I haven't used it since so I thought the battery would be shit now. I charged it up 9 days ago and it is still on full bars!! I mean I've only used it to check the battery life once a day but 9 days standby and it's still on full is pretty good going!

The Nokia 105 costs £13 and has a 35 day stand by, BUT, it's due to be released any day now and might not be out in time.

So, failing that, the Nokia 100 costs £20 and has a 25 day standby

I've been charging crappy nokia handsets all day at work, no idea what model they are but they don't even have a camera I'm confident one will do me but I'm bringing a spare battery just incase

[drewsstrat]

I've got a Alcatel which was 10.99 i think with a 10.00 SIM card.

It's got a torch colour screen and fm radio for your worthy fm and lions rugby. Battery lasted throughout 2011

Means taking your smart phone though, I'd rather lose an £8 and a sim card then a £500 with all my contacts and day to day stuff
