Upgrade with a difference.

Ok so my upgrdae is due with Orange soon and i currently have a k750i, my requirments for a phone are simple

It doesn't need to be,

A mp3 player - i have an ipod
A uber camera - i have a 350d
A smart phone of any desription - i have an o2 xda exec for that

It needs to be,

Cheap
Have bluetooth
A 1mp+ camera
A radio would be nice but not essential
Must look good

Ok so i am looking at either the W810i or the v3i or v3x, now i have read reviews on the w810i and it seems to offer me nothing new over my k750i apart from a different joystick and a few more buttons, this i must admit is putting me off it.

Any ideas or opinions are welcome.

if your current phone does everything you want, then you could just get the best phone you can and flog it on ebay..

I would except it has the joystick problem, and i like to have a new phone every 6 months, that is what is putting me off the w810i it seem just the same.

Damm orange and thier crappy range of phones.

No i went on the online thing and put my details in.

Plus i don't want to pay for a phone.

W810i is probably the best option for what you want at the moment, and doesn't suffer the joystick issue the K750i does (because it doesn't have one)

Hmm may be true as long as i dont have to pay £30 for it.

cymatty · 19 May 2006 at 17:42

My bills are around £60 a month.

cymatty · 19 May 2006 at 19:08

Hmmm all good options i will have to consider, although i dont want to start a new contract or change my tariff.

Well expect to pay more then. Is there any real need to be so stuben? oh, and what about the swap then ?

I want to keep my number that i have had for 7 years and i want to keep my everyday 50 line 2.

Re the swap dont think i could get a 8800 sorry.

Every day 50 is not all that great tbh (but if you like it), and I have the 8800 to swap with you.

It is when you get it half price.

Will let you know if and when i decide on my upgrade.

Well stop winking and tell us how?

It was an offer a few years back, get a second line with a second tariff on it for half price.

So you just have a seperate sim with 50 mins on for C. £7.50 m/p? Tbh you could probally do away wit the second sim now and get it all together from a different network for chaeper. Do you get two upgardes one for each line?

No its all on one phone and one sim and one contract, you just change the line on the phone.

Oh, well you could probally get it cheaper somewhere else then.

What do you get in total and how much is the rental?

Well i have a contract with 02 as well which provides me all the mins and texts i need, the orange one is £35 i have 1500 off peak mins 120 peak x net and 60 texts a month.

My o2 one is 500x net mins and 100 texts.

Spamalot said:
Why not do away wit the orange contract then if you dont need the mins?

Claim my orange of my tax as business use, and i like having 2 phones.

So you pay £35 p/mjust for a second phone? There are cheaper ways than renting a phone, lol.

I know i like wasting money.
