Help! cheapy Laptop/Phone needed

Kitten · 09-05-2011, 08:54

Hi y'all.

Friend I work with has recently had her bag stolen from the airport, losing phone & laptop. She's training to be a counsellor and has asked if I know anyone who has either an iphone/android phone and/or a laptop in decent working condition to tide her over until she can replace properly.

Obviously she's willing to pay but the cheaper the better so figured it was worth a shot asking you guys

You can get decent android phones for around £50 new now days! ZTE Blade (Orange san fransisco) is a famous example, can't think of others right now, thought the HTC Wildfire was cheap but thats still raound £100 new even though the wildfire s is out... How much has she got for a laptop?

I don't know, she had a car crash Saturday, only found out this afternoon :/ won't she need to pay for a contract with that price phone though?

Well assuming she already had a contract of some sort?! £50-70 is upfront payg price for the san fran, the thing is a total bragain, capacitive screen 800x600 gps all the little things a smartphone needs, but SUPER cheap! Represents everything good wanted from android me thinks

Yes she still has contract - sounds very cheap, thoughT it must be contract prices! Will point her in that direction, ty

Alex is right, one of the girls at work bought one for her son who really wanted an iPhone (not happening boyo!) - it's a cracking phone for the cash.

I tend to wear old phones out so I'm no help sorry!

I think she's gone for that this afternoon Alex, thanks!

NP Mr Lopez.
