Basically people are really starting to mock my 7650 that has served me well for a long time.
Not only that, but the phone came with like 8mb of memory which can't be expanded and keeps fucking up all the time! It also struggles to hold it's battery life now and will need charging daily...
After all this and literally 10 people going 'What the fuck is that?' ... 'What a brick' I've had enough. I originally bought the phone for the features - as it had best camera etc at the time (moving up from a 3210!). However now even it's features is shit.
I don't want a contract, and I can't really afford to buy a brand new handset so I'm going to be looking for a 2nd hand, used for mint condition phone.
When the 7610 came out I really liked the look of it, and would've wanted one then - with a 1.3 mega pixel camera it's not bad, though not as good as some now.
These can be had for about £100 2nd hand now, but if I get one ... will I feel that in say 6 months - a year people will be like 'Why have you got that old piece of junk?'. The size of the 7610 is roughly the same when mine is closed only thinner... I personally think its a nice size for a man sized hand 
but now I'm thinking should I stray from nokia, go for something a bit different... a bit more up to date like a k750i?
I can get k750i's for around the £200 mark ... but I don't know whether I want to spend that much at the mo as I'm paying £331 on uni rent when I'm not even there! 
Anyone else have any other suggestions of phone's I should get, with pics / prices used. etc?
Or comments on the phone's suggested - or even have mint examples for sale which you wish to sell cheap  (I'll be at national meet  ).
The problem with like the 7610, is I'll be buying a phone that's already old. I won't get any 'Wow factor' ... and it won't be too long till I'm in the same situation, although I can upgrade the memory on that

so can I. also its at that standard where even if better phones come out it won't outdate the k750 untill a long while. Not until a really good video camera phone comes out, however i can see that being a while.

K750
67610 is gash. If u want a symbian phone 6630/6680 are good 3230 is ok too.
None are as good as k750 tho.

6630 / 6680 / 3230 are all new phones - they'll be over £200 at least! plus they look as bulky as my old phone - only styled differently.
K750 I'm not sure I like the look of it - the back looks cool, front looks

02 it was a student rate but not sure if they do it anymore,but the retention guy gave me it anyway and didn't even ask for a student id or anything.. £19 a month and i got a tenner knocked off first three months to cover the cost of 30 quid they charged me for the phone. so actually the phone cost 30 quid but i got it back.

I have a Motorola V620, when I was down the pub friday night with some people from work, guy I work with showed me his Motorola V3, apart from the physical size/shape, they seem to be the same phone virtually - is there actually any difference between the two?
