I'm looking at upgrading to a Nokia 208 as they're one of the few cheap feature phones left that support 3G (my current one is 2G). I'm wondering where and for how much I can get one of these? They seem to be as cheap as $19 dollars, but is that only on sale?
I'm already with Telstra prepaid, so it's not an issue if its locked to Telstra.
Because Telstra's 2G network is shutting down. Also my current phone lacks some features that I'd like.
No…why choose a 208?
Well I don't want a smartphone, and the 208 is cheap and exactly what I'm after as far as a feature phone is concerned. Do you have any other suggestions?
@deusy:
The cheapest I could find was $39 David Jones. My recommendation would be a lumia 530.Smartphones are the way of the future.
@nocure:
The lumia 532 is on page 6 of the woolies catalogue, going for half price this week at $44.50 - doesn't mention if it's locked or who to though.

Or grab the Telstra Cruise, on the same page, for $19.50 also half price, with 3G and looks close enough to the Nokia 208
Who doesn't want a smart phone? Or is the smart part a prerequisite?
I used to use an iPhone but I made the downgrade to a Nokia 3315 about 6 months ago. Feature phones do everything I need for a fraction of the size, weight and cost, as well as being far more durable. I haven't even thought about going back.
Plus, texting on buttons is so much better.
I did the same when I swapped my BMW for a horse. So much easier to text on a horse.
I'll sell you mine.

Enabled.
