New Mobile Phone time....!!

[DurhamSparky]

well now my contract is up for renewal what shall i do..??

currently have Blackberry 9105 (pearl) slim line and handy on the Orange network

im looking to get rid of having 1 number for personal and business and having a business phone and a personal phone that i can turn off at weekends

Orange have offered me the original i phone 4 for a decent price a month £21.60 which will be handy as i can do my certs on the go with a iphone and still get my emails..!



might get the BB 9900 on Vodafone for personal stuff though! better reception and all round network coverage!

any thoughts??

What do you mean can't do PDF, the phone reads them as a default. The flash thing is a red herring as that's never a problem

I had a bb from when they first hit the uk and windows phones and none of them come close to the iPhone for productivity (or entertainment)

*edit* I tried the business and personal phone for a while and it doesn't work you'll always get creep to your personal number. Best just to have the one and use your voicemail a lot at the weekends/evenings, if you do get an iPhone download hullomail which as well as giving you a text notification also emails the voicemail to you so you can filter out which message to listen to

iPhone all the way......

Gotta be the iPhone, most versatile phone in my opinion, who cares about a flash player ?

As for PDF it does allow PDF files to be viewed in iBooks app

Can you not go onto the Orange business plan? they supply some sort of landline mobile (i know doesnt make sense) i heard the advert on the radio, i think its some sort of virtual business landline that diverts to your personal phone

Failing that you could just get a cheap as cheap £10 a month contract with a crap phone and divert all calls to your personal (iPhone) during the day, and take the divert off on weekends, would save you a bit of cash?

Blackberry 9800, had an iPhone but it was too fragile...

I have an old nokia e63. to be fair not a bad phone and anything better would be wasted on me. I don`t do internet on a 2.5" screen just too small and too much effort. just got a cracking deal through my provider as they removed my loyalty discount for being loyal? anyway managed to get them to do me the contract for £10 a month with 5000 texts, 3000 same network messages, 900 cross network and 3 gigs of internet (that won`t be used )

Who'd have thought 25 years ago that Kit Kats would only have 4 fingers?

Here's a comparison to my current phone, versus my first PC.

First PC vs HTC Sensation
CPU: Single Core Pentium 90Mhz vs Dual Core 1.2Ghz Qualcomm MSM8260
RAM: 16MB vs 768Mb
Storage: 850Mb vs 4GB (1GB User Accessible)

Amazing really, when you think about how far technology has come in the last 16 years (Had my First PC at the end of 1994!)
