Dave, i dont do contracts anymore mate, last time my bills averaged 200 quid a month!

Just been to look at the V3, i dont like it looks cool until you open it then it looks huge! Not keen on the D500 either although i would choose it over the V3.

Now im really fooked

The D500 is a good phone. Has about 90 meg memory as I recall but no expansion slot. The D600 has memory card facility.

I've just got a Sony Ericson K750i on Orange contract for £20 a month (£30 a month with 4 cash back vouchers you send back over the year) and 200 free mins and 50 free texts a month. 2mega pixel camera and memory expansion port. Comes with 90 meg as standard. Good phone.

im 26, 27 in febuary but at the age of 17 i was managing a bike shop



i gotta be sensible about work as im now too old to just leave jobs and walk into other ones, also i must admit i love my job been there for a few months now and have never got that feeling on a sunday night where you think " fucking work tommorow, why aint the weekend longer"
