Phones that work on the 3 network

I'm getting rid of my 6680 as it's just too big and would like something a bit smaller.

Can i sell my 6680 on ebay and buy a different phone while i wait for my contract to run out in october?

The phone im lookin at are just simple sony erricssons - k500i / j300i and T610.

Will these work with 3 if they are unlocked? I read somewhere that the 3 network is a bit anal about some phones and frequencys etc etc

Any unlocked 3g phone will work.So look for either 3 (already 3g of course) ones or unlocked 3g ones and you can sell your 6680 no problem, 3 are only interested in the sim.

so the phone must be 3g compatible for the 3 network to work on it?

so a t610 won't work with my 3 network contract sim card?
