I am enjoying the mental image of someone with elbows massive enough to always land on the shift button but forearms short enough that they can still type

I was going to suggest that he was deformed, but then thought that might be like calling him a twat and I didn't want to get banned.

Dragging this back to vaguely what we were talking about...
I note with interest that Orange now offer free internet for just a £10 a month top up. That and 300 texts as well.
Now, I'm hoping that my timing will be superb in that when my iPhone contract runs out, a new flavour will be due out and I can just jump straight on it and sign up to a new contract. I would be tempted to switch to Orange, because while I don't have any major problems with o2 overall, their 3G service is extremely poor both where I live and work and Orange has proved itself to be much better. As I do take advantage of the web connectivity, this is a big thing for me.
Erm, but anyway, what was I saying? Oh yes...that PAYG offer from Orange as I mentioned is rather interesting as it represents fairly good value for what it is. It would be tempting to move to such a pay as you go service with Orange should Steve Jobs NOT come through for me with a new phone in June.
Amazing isn't it. I don't even know what will feature in an assumed iPhone upgrade but already I am commiting myself to upgrade to it as soon as it comes out. And to think, right back at the start of this thread I was telling myself I didn't want or need an iPhone.

Thanks for pointing this out Ison, thointingthisoutison. I had noticed that O2 had started doing unlimited texts and internet for a £15 top-up but this is more suited to me. Now not only can I threaten to leave my O2 contract for PAYG, but SOMEONE ELSE'S PAYG.

EDIT: HANG ON, that's 50MB a month you get. POOR. Also, they are morons for putting the words "Pier to Pier".

Pity Comment's already written, or there'd be a lengthy piece on communication between Brighton and Blackpool!
January perhaps?

I've just been all whimsical and taken the plunge on the following (yes yes I know I bought an HTC hero outright a couple of months back):
£164 upfront fee + £10 a month for 24 months.
Bear with me. It sounds shitty but for this I get:
- HTC Desire (Nexus one basically)
- 100 minutes
- Unlimited texts
- 1GB internet
https://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile- ... ice-plans/
If anyone is interested!
Now, my original plan was to buy an HTC hero, which I did for £200, and then switch to O2 PAYG, which gives 300 texts and internet for £10 a month, so provided I can sell it again for £164 or more, I'm quids in and with only a contract to show for it. I'm rather pleased in theory.

What kind of condition is it in? I've been looking for a HTC Hero in good condition for about £150 for god knows how long.Sput wrote:...so provided I can sell it again for £164 or more, I'm quids in and with only a contract to show for it. I'm rather pleased in theory.
