It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

same here :)

odium - you'll need to search around for the details (because frankly i don't like you enough to do it for you) but orange do an £8pm contract - if you know exactly what to ask for - it's got the word 'data' in the name of the contract type and gives you minimal free minutes and mobile internet stuff. after 6 months on your current contract you should be able to switch down to it without needing to change you number or anything.

it's the contract most of my mates are on, would do the same thing myself if i didn't have a good deal with vodafone corp.

:lol: I don't even know HOW you could pay 400 for that. You'd have to go to the phone company and ASK them to overcharge you.

You're probably getting disconnected because given your instinctive grasp of the way a criminal organization works and willingness to pay over the odds for a phone, you must be a kingpin

Your forgetting the fact that i'm ok with paying £25 a month, because i get 2 hours (which i hardly use) and 250 texts a month free. When i go back on PAYG, then ill just use text, like normal.

No, kracus.

I had an SPV 2002 the other day (someone was selling it and it was locked by someone else, turned out the user-set pin thing was just 1 lol). The actual phone was slow and a bit crap, though. Have they improved now?

the one i want, the mini PDA, is great and you can get it free.

Sounds ok then. I'm looking at getting a new phone, probably go for a Motorola clamshell one, purely because I managed to break my other phone somehow (think I crushed the screen a bit; it has lots of dead yellow pixels on it now). Still usable but annoying.

Nah, I mean one where you can get decent transfer rates and not pay through the nose. I want to be able to take my Powerbook out to the park and work there (lots of medical learning is online these days), 'cos I don't get enough sun as it is...

Yeah, I've got an airport setup at home, but the range is a bit limited with a powerbook because they MADE THE DAMN THING OUT OF METAL
