New Phone

I have a second contract phone now. The phone is the Nokia N95 8Gb version (Details of how gorgeously amazing it is here)

The contract I have been put on for this phone is a staff contract at £15 a month (with 125 minutes only) – The phone itself was free. I am soon to be selling my K850i on eBay, starting at £150 and Buy it Now at £250 (This seems to be around the price these phones are selling at on eBay at the moment). I am keeping my Orange SIM, unlocking my new N95 and putting the Orange SIM in the new phone. With the money I make from the sale of the K850i and the cashback I will receive from taking out the phone contract, I will be able to pay off the Vodaphone contract outright, and reduce my monthly contract on Orange to about £7 a month. This is for 500 minutes and unlimited texts I phoned up and cancelled one of the insurance policies today and got the second reduced to £7.99 a month, which I think is worth it for a phone worth over £500. After all, I don’t want to have my N95 broken or stolen, and then have a contract to pay for the rest of the year :/ I have created a listing for the K850i; it’s sitting in my drafts waiting to be made active. I will be paying close attention to every little detail with what I am doing here, as I am determined to see it through and not have me put out of pocket. I phoned up Vodaphone on 191 to confirm my tariff is the correct one, but the contract details had not yet gone through to them. I will try again tomorrow.

With regard to the N95 8Gb, the phone is amazing. Picture quality, video quality, the phone’s build quality are all top notch. The phone even comes bundled with TV-Out cables to allow you to watch phone content on your TV. The phone also comes with Spiderman 3 pre-installed on the memory (flash memory – separate to the internal phone memory).
I’ve spent a good portion of this evening trundling the web for applications and games and have found a bundle – most of them at http://www.series60v3.com

At the moment, I am messing around with all the phones functions, trying to take in how unbelievably much it can do – and it does a lot, trust me. Today I have looked at the GPS functions, the wi-fi functions, speech recognition to launch applications, the music player and used the Nokia Application Installer from their PC Suite software.

Tomorrow I have my second interview with Web Host Dir, in which they want me to demonstrate what I can do web development wise. Hopefully this goes well and I will have a confirmed placement by the end of the week.
