Struggling to choose a new mobile phone
Struggling to select a new mobile phone
Well, I’m back from Argentina and faced with something of a dilema.
My trusty 6630 is truly in it’s dying days now. It still calls ok and sends text messages. The alarm still wakes me up bright and early in the daybreak for my work as an SEO copywriter. The screen still works and the ringtone still scares people. That, however, is approximately all.
The camera died a death before I left the country. The video camera passed away lengthy before that. Since my return, the menu system additionally seems to have come unstuck. It is rather like steering through a large city in hurry hour traffic.
The great news, however, is that I am now out of contract and gratis to hunt down the most desireable contract and handset. Well, within limits… there is no reception in my flat for Orange and O2, leaving me the options of T-mobile and sticking with Vodafone.
Both of these present their own problems. Firstly T-mobile. Now, I’m not usually one to bear a grudge, but I have had a little experince with T-mobile in the past and I’m afraid to state it wasn’t good. My original ever mobile phone (a dearly departed Siemens which was so heavy that it has left me walking with a limp ever since) was registered with 0ne-2-one. The deal included gratis evening and weekend calls for two and sixpence monthly, which seemed like a clincher.
The problem, and my lasting resentment, stems from the fact that you had to stand on superior of a towerblock in the middle of London to receive one bar of reception. Honestly, it was like a bloody Rabbit phone. Even the one-2-one store in my local Watford didn’t have reception, which struck me as enduringly crap.
My problem with Voda is that they won’t offer me any decent handsets as an upgrade, depsite my having been a loyal user for 5(ish) years and always paying my bills on time with minimal fuss.
All I want is an N82!!! Or even an N95. EVERYONE HAS AN N95. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?!?
Anyway, I’m keeping my eyes open for great deals. Any advice please let me know. Anyone working for Voda want to explain why you’re not nicer to loyal customers? Anyone from T-mobile got reception?
