New phone on the horizon
by andy on Aug.18, 2008, under Blog
Having reached the end of my 18month contract with Orange, it was time to look around for a free upgrade. Currently though, my pickyness of phones meant i only really had 3 options available.
Get a new phone and sim that isn’t a nokia and sell it retaining the sim for my n95
Get an N95-8gb.
Wait until October for the N96
The N96 was very tempting, but it’ll probably be over a year for Orange to finish tinkering with it, leaving it useless. Plus, its primary bonus id the builtin DVB tuner, which be very unlikly to get a signal anywhere I would want to use it anyway.
As my phones flash is now broken, I’ve decided to plump for the N95-8Gb. Very much like my current phone, but sleek and black and faster to respond.
A quick phone call to Orange this morning, and voila, the new phone should be with me tomorrow morning. As I rang to request a PAC code to leave Orange, they also managed to throw am extra loyalty discount at me which should reduce my bills by another £10 a month. enough for a few more beers on the weekend. 
I guess I’ll be playing with it for most of the next few weeks, tweaking software, setting up WiFi settings, etc. should keep me amused, lol.

What is there to get?
Thanks.
Its more a toy for me this blog site. If I come up with anything I think interesting, I post it up, if I get time to that is.
Its a little Egocentric I suppose, but then why not. People can fall over themselves with social network sites. I just see this as a natural progression from and to them.

I admire people making sites because it is not always easy to come up with new material and information all the time. I am always looking for good information and latest news and I just found your blog about andycorps.com ? New phone on the horizon
