flameboy Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 3's customer service is awful though, remember when my phone broke and was still covered it was a nightmare to get them to give me a new phone, I ended up leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm getting an iPhone with Vodafone in the new year, and have a question about internet usage (apologies if it sounds daft, but I've never really used my phone for internet before!). So the pricing plan says 1GB of mobile internet and unlimited Wifi. Am I right in thinking that if I use it to go online at home, and I connect to my BT Home Hub (as I've been doing for the past year with my iPod Touch) I can use as much as I like, but as soon as I use it for the internet away from a Wifi signal, it starts counting towards my 1GB allowance?

Cube Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 If anyone's interested Firefox Mobile. Unfortunately it's only for the Nokia N900, so I'll have to stick with Opera for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend has this phone and I wouldn't recommend it. In paper its pretty good, but he's a had a lot of problems with it. The software is pretty buggy which isn't surprising because it runs Windows Mobile but he's also had a lot of problems with the touch screen and the camera not having worked from day one.

Cube Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 The HTC Android phones are supposed to be really good. It may be worth waiting a few days to see if there are any plans for the Nexus One in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 well like I said my contract doesn't run out till 12th so can wait... but I rang them today to see what my options would be and they offered me that plus cheaper contract and web n walk for free for duration of contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take their assurances with a pinch of salt. There's no way to hold them to it so it's definitely not a good idea taking out a contract on that basis. Also, as has already been said the HD2 is a bit naff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) yeah i've been giving it some thought I do really want an iphone at least with it being a market leader you are guranteed constant new apps etc..and support Edited January 1, 2010 by flameboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 yeah i've been giving it some thought I do really want an iphone at least with it being a market leader you are guranteed constant new apps etc..and support My 2 cents. I had the iPhone for over a year and it's a great phone. For me though, I suppose the reason I liked it so much was because it was also an iPod. I never go anywhere with out my iPod and if it wasn't for that being on the iPhone I probably wouldn't have bought one. Obviously that all sounds a but stupid being that the iPhone is heavily marked as being an iPod. I just think that when you strip off the iPod from the phone, it's very limited in what it can do. The camera isn't great, the bluetooth is limited and it can't multi task. In saying that some of the updates Apple have released have done wonders for it and the touchscreen is probably still the best of any phone. I far happier With my Blackberry than I was with the iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Blackberrys I could get a Curve 8520, Curve 8900, Bold 9700 all for free I think...My brother has a blackberry and swears by it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a Bold 9700 in November, my first Blackberry; and I wouldn't go back. It does everything I need and probably will never use from a phone.

I will have a look into what tmobile say they are meant to be getting back to about my coverage problems as well...also when it comes to renewing my contract on 12th will have to see what offers they can give me...gonna say I'm leaving see just how much stuff they intend to throw my way.

Ten10 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Well I would believe them on their coverage improving since the merger is due this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 But T-Mobile are terrible, so go somewhere else. T-Mobile were shit for me, and even if you've found them good, their actual contracts are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
