Nokia N95


I finally have my new phone on the way. I've been wanting the Nokia N95 since I first read about it in January. It has pretty much everything you could want in a phone, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, 5MP camera, music and video player, expandable memory.

The phone came out at the beginning of April. I had been into Carphonewarehouse and the Orange shop to see the phone and speak about getting one. In the Orange shop because I wanted to keep my number they said I had to pay £250 for the phone and go with £35 18 month contract. If I scrapped my number and got a new contract I could have it for £80, I said that was stupid and left.

On Friday I decided I would have a look at getting the phone on another network and transfering my number. Both O2 and T-Mobile had the phone for under £100, with better deals than I was on.
So I rang Orange and went straight through to disconnections and expected to be offered something. If they didn't, then I would get my PAC code and leave. With very little effort I was offered the phone for free, £30 a month contract with £180 a month worth of texts and voice.

The phone is being delivered on Tuesday :-)
