Which i then do.

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?

yeah i've had a spv c500 almost a year now, i love it. the new spv c550 is coming out soon. 1.3mpix cam and class 10 gprs etc.

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...

ah, wounder.

props for doctoring btw, have to take clumsy/aggro friends into casualty about twice a year. i couldn't deal with that sort of thing day in day out, not without filling a skip with corpses every week anyway.

we have an airport site wide system here, it's cool.

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
