Cheapest Wi-Fi Phone?

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone could suggest any decent cheapish Wi-Fi Phones?

Like the look of the N95 but its just to much out of my price range...

Looking to spend around £200...

Also the Nokia E61 would be great, however i would miss the not have a Camera feature

Any ideas guys?

Thanks!

Re: Cheapest Wi-Fi Phone?

Don't know for sure but did a quick google and it seems to be slated for 2nd or 3rd quarter this year so anytime in the next 2 months maybe??

On one trusted forum someone is saying this month so keep an eye out, or email Nokia.

They are showing it as Pre Order.

http://www.directmobileaccessories.c...oducts_id=4700

The E61i is available from a few sellers on e-bay.

Looks like a really cool phone...I'm looking to get one to replace my Treo 750V

Good phone too, advice to the OP as always is try before you buy as their two different operating systems but similar form factors, aren't HTC releasing a slew of new products with Win mobile 6 on them?

Ah, didn't see that. It's not on ANY high street shop website or UK network's website which I think can only mean it's out very soon? Otherwise it would be on all their comming soon pages.

Very good deal, I line the Glofiish over the HTC's as their more stylish. TomTom6 is fantastic by the way, I run it on my P990I. Wayfinder 7 is supposed to be pretty good too.

By the way, the Nokia E61i is due for launch on this Friday in the UK.
