Are there any phone buffs that can tell me if there is such a phone as a Nokia 63101 (Type NPL-1) my friend reckons there is and wants a new one but every search I bring up seems to go to 63101i.

You may find that the series is 63__ but the specific model might have been avaialble only to some retailers.  Try searching here - at least this way you can compare specs

Ta for the link, I had already found it mind, that's where I realized that my chum should have gone to spec savers!!  Plus the phone is so out of date now all that site had was a support group :)

Now where on earth can she buy a genuine German one and not Chinese copy they're like rocking horse poo, and why on earth would she want to buy one, mind you my chum is one wave short of a ship wreck :-D
