LG Renoir 500 mins + 300 3-to-3 mins. £14.99 + £18 per month @ e2save (£40 Quidco cashback. Phone arrived unlocked and unbranded)


FOUND BY: Liddle ol' me 5 months, 1 week ago

Total cost of contract for 18 months after Quidco is £298.99 (£16.61 p/m). Three sell the handset alone on PAYG for £369.99. Don't forget to cancel free 1-month insurance and VIP Gadget Helpline that e2save add on.

The Renoir is a slim phone with an 8 Megapixel camera. A rich touchscreen and professional camera features in a 13.95mm thin phone, like auto or manual focus, 8X digital zoom and Xenon flash.

Comes with an 8GB external memory and has powerful bass with the Dolby integrated audio. Preloaded Java games and accelerometer feature which lets you control your gaming movement by tilting the Renoir in the direction you want to move.

Good web-surfing phone and has built-in Wifi and sat-nav hardware (download free sat-nav software for it). I'm currently watching youtube videos on it through wifi, and it's fast to load with no stuttering. External volume also very good.

Mine arrived from e2save with no 3 branding on the software or casing and it is UNLOCKED.

I used this mobile phone on vodafone.
pros: probably the BEST camera features including an impeccable quality
cons:Browsing sux. Not many applications you can find.
i am happily switched to nokia 5800 now. Nevertheless I miss the camera capabilities of renoir. if only nokia gets the same camera functionality into its handsets i will not moan on anything.

Thanks for the review - I played around with a friend's before making the decision on this (arrives tomorrow). As well as the camera, I loved the DivX playback on the big screen and the satnav software he'd installed. What were the apps you missed when browsing?

A good review and discussion of the phone here btw - http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?...e0f54c1ef0a761

Yes, I did that purposefully so people wouldn't forget the cashback offer. Are we not supposed to do this?

Btw, my Renoir arrived today and it's a beauty. I was worried that 3 would have spoiled it with software branding as they did with the Viewty. Good news is they haven't - in fact, there are no visible markings of any kind that it is a 3 phone. No branding on the casing either. First time ever with my 3 phones

UPDATE: My Renoir is unlocked too. Result!
