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.
