Help with Orange upgrade
Hello,
I could do with some help re. Orange upgrades. Essentially, I am on their Premier programme and I'm out of my 12-month contract and I've been told I can have any phone for free. And that's where the problem is. I need the following: - Wi-Fi - 3G - Cam - Decent-sized/expandable memory - Multimedia capabilities - Symbian/Windows Mobile etc - Bluetooth (A2DP) - MSN I had the SE w960 down as my next ideal phone (currently I have W950) however I don't believe this is to be released on Orange. Also, I was looking at N95 8GB however no info on Orange. Can anyone think of any other handsets that would meet my requirements? I have to stay with Orange as I'm locked in with Line 2. Does anyone know of any high-end phones likely to be released soon? Thanks in advance. Mark. |

Why not get an N95-1 and put an 8gb card in it?

Change product code, download latest firmware. Easy and makes a massive change to the N95-1.

Have a look at the HTC Touch Dual.

If I'm not mistaken, the HTC Dual doesn't have WiFi.

Well, I've gone for the HTC Tytn II. The original Orange rep told me it didn't have Wi-Fi so I didn't take him up on it, however having looked at it on the web (it gets consistently excellent reviews), I've decided to give this a try.
I've got a good deal, too: Free handset! I've seen it for £400 +VAT SIM-free 12-month contract 500 mins/500 texts £15 per month Free Jabra Bluetooth headset Free 30M data per month (I am getting a Voda 3G card for the laptop) Plus a load of options for reduced roaming rates. Is there anything else I should have asked for? In all likeliness, I do spend £1k per year with them so I can understand their generosity. |

How do you spend over £1k a year with them if you're on a tarrif for £15 a month with 500 minutes! You go ridiculously over that? |

 plus some data charges.Apparently, I have all the options enabled to reduce my roaming charges. I never use my full UK mins and texts. £1k per year is approc £80pm. I have reduced line rental by £10pm, plus I will now have 30M free data per month. I'm hoping to reduce these costs somewhat by using Skype over Wi-Fi on this new handset. Plus, I'll be able to email more easily on the move - reducing text msg costs. I want to bring my spend down by 30-50% (New Year's resolution and all that).
