Where to buy a handset only?

I use an old vodafone "pay as you go" phone as a spare, but the handset has died - anyone know where you can get cheap replacement handsets (without any chip or contract)?
Preferably something like a nokia 3310...

Cheers!

Thanks lynx. They do have them but they are a little pricey.

Safeway were recently doing Nokia 3410's for £49.99.I'd imagine there will be regional variations on this deal.

I have bought a phone from Ebay in the past and had a very pleasent experience. No problems whatsoever. Just make sure you find someone with impeccable feedback and you should be safe

What worries me about buying a second hand unit from ebay is the battery. I've not had good luck with second hand batteries, and they are nearly twenty quid to replace...
