How very interesting, she purchased it from Vodafone and she keeps having problems with it in that she says it keeps freezing. She has sent it back many times and it keeps doing it. She has it as a pay as you go phone. That is dreadful that they charged her so much for it. She is not the type of person who could take them on, if you know what I mean.

In that case, your friend was ripped off. You can get said E52 for under £170 if you look around. The fact that its a discontinued phone might make it hard to find it in retail stores though, you'll be buying from an online supplier. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor Burke To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 10:03 AM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Cheapest slide or candy bar phone About the e52, I think someone mentioned a price of £180. My friend purchased hers for £250. ----- Original Message ----- From: Graham Page To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 10:00 AM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Cheapest slide or candy bar phone Hi Larry. I think either the E52 or possibly the newer C5 would do the job though I am not sure if the C5 is a candy bar phone or one with a slider.
