I think I've seen them under $40 though...... It's a basic mobile.
Two things to mind: 1) there was also a 2G version which is useless in Australia because the 2G mobile networks have been phased out. So if you were to buy a 3310 from anywhere in not a mainstream shop, you want to be very careful you don't end up with a 2G model. I expect there are plenty of 2G models flying around for only a few dollars, everybody will be trying to get rid of them. 2) the $59 from your search (Officeworks) is actually an Optus Prepaid plan that includes the phone. Can be ok, but there will be costs involved with the plan. Depending on your needs, a specific prepaid plan can be either exactly what you need, or end up very expensive. Also it may be locked to Optus - which may again be acceptable, depending on needs. I mentioned the $89 JB Hifi and Harvey Norman, because I know they're 3G, unlocked, and generally in stock. Seems like a decent price for a decent phone. Regards, Arjen.
