Sorry to Hijack, but would any of you guys have a older cellphone that you would like to sell. I am traveling to australia again this year and it would come in handy.

I am not sure of any specs. but I would like to use those prepaid mobile cards.


thanks in advance

A whole host of minor problems such as it restarting frequetly and taking ages to shutdown and even longer to start up. It didn't work well with BlueTooth headsets (took about five keypresses to get it working with the head set and by that stage the call had disconnected).

But the one that really pissed me off was that when it dropped a call (and it did that often) it would emit a really loud series of beeps from a speaker right against your ear. Just stupid design.

The Sony is awesome. It's fully Mac compatible so I can sync it over BlueTooth with my address book and calender. And best of all the BlueTooth works with our headsets. Just press the button on the headset, say the name of the person you want to dial and it calls them. Great for driving. The phone doesn't even need to be open.

Which headsets did you try on your e616? Had you posted on this forum a week earlier, I would have stayed away from 616, but too late, I got one last week

We're using the GN6110. It works with mobiles and has a base station to use with a conventional phone. BUt I think the problem is with the NEC as others have reported it too.
