General Comments

I purchased the NEC e313 many, many months ago when it cost 50 smackers, but as I didn't want to be screwed by 3's 30-day PAYG tariff and nobody could unlock them, I didn't use it as a phone - I only admired it as a work of art.

The video camera quality is very good, and it stores loads of videos (MP4 video compressed)on its 19mb internal memory, high quality ringtones.

The design is an appealing metallic silver, with several soft keys. The feel and build quality is excellent, unlike the flimsy plastic phones that are all the rage these days.

It has all the features you'd expect on a modern phone such as calendar and calculator and you can pickup your email on it.

The only downsides are the big size - it's like a remote control for your televideo, but it is surprisingly light. Also, there is no infra red or bluetooth. There is a USB connection to connect to a PC, but this costs extra.

Finally, I managed to fully unlock it to Vodafone (a FULL unlock, including access to the SIM contacts and SMS) and now I'm finally using it as my primary phone :-)

It cost me £50, and a further £15 to unlock. So for £65 for a mobile phone with high quality camera, it's a bargain.
