Default Phone help required:

Finally left PAYG and gone for a contract with Orange.
Ordered a new phone and have 2 questions for the PF massive..

1) The Nokia 6680. Anything i need to know? Should it go straight on Ebay? http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,8764,71025,00.html

2) Does this work or is there a better alternative?

personally stu id go on o2 as they do better deals than orange, and i'd go for the sony ericsson k750i too, 2mp camera, smaller and more user friendly then any nokia i've had in the past. all just my opinion of course

I looked at that actually and i just cant tear myself from Nokia, i always seem to come back to em.. they just do what i want em to do somehow...

As for teh deal, it suits me and seems ok TBH...
I was on PAYG and was actually just asking for a statement for my accountant when the lass strted to take me over to contract for my own good.. lol bless her.

Ł30 PM.
200minutes cross network anytime of day.
500 messages.

Cant be bad surely? Seemed ok to me and is less than im spending on PAYG for about 4x the airtime

I must admit, that formed part of my final decision pal, so thanks fo that I just wanted somethinga little smaller and got carried away with specification over function.... not unusual for me

well on o2 i just got 1000texts and 400mins for 45quid. no danger of going over that! phone was free (as im sure yours was-or a small charge maybe) but i also got a bluetooth headset into the deal for free. contract is the way to go. check out the o2 site, you get 14days if you decide you want to send the phone back whatever company you choose

Sounds a damnfine deal, and if you use the phone that much then its the right one for you

Another consideration to me is if i do ocasionally exceed my quota, most my mates and my missus are on Orange, so that adds up to some damage limitation in my personal case.. lol

Yeah Rick, it is a tad smaller, but Nicoles 6230i just seems so good and soooo small... Its hard to beat i guess...

Still.. i can Ebay this for about Ł250 and get a quick sale and pick up a 6230i i guess, so no damage done.

i dont like phones that are too small, it makes it harder to text while overtaking if the buttons are small

I must admit Dan, i did think... "Thanks Hun", or something polite like that.

Hey Dan, this 6680 has a flash for teh camera.. so even more chance of a secret "Dan Shot"

nice to see Orange looking after existing customers like they say they do on their adverts...

why are companies focused on getting new customers in but forgetting about existing ones?????
