Just to let you know that you should only insure a phone for 6 months. After that you can buy a brand new one for the price of your excess...

Yeah I pay a fiver a month to Orange for insurance, well worth it as with my K800i I returned that quick soon with some mechanical error with the camera shutter and then 5 months later I dropped it in a pot hole, completely submerged in water, grabbed it within a second and dried it all out, worked completely fine for a month then broke eventually and got ANOTHER one. So I actually had three K800i's in the end!
You could always buy one of those wee iPod sock thingys to protect it mate, thats what my sister does!

It'll be on the events screen. You can't get rid of it until you check it manually.
There seems to be a problem with the flash on the K850i too, I didn't even realise until t'other day. Take a picture in poor light, the flash goes off too quickly and you get an almost black screen instead of a proper image. Apparently this is a known problem, having seen it reported on a number of forums. I'm in two minds whether to get a replacement handset or wait for a firmware update. Kinda sucks considering this is one of the handsets major features too.Kept you waiting, huh?

T-Mobile really annoyed me today.
I'm on a Flext 25 contract which finished at the end of October. So it was time for an upgrade from my W810i.
"Alright" thought I, "they've been harping on about the K850i, I'll go check that one out."
Seems pretty nice. The buttons are a bit weird, but I'm sure I could get used to it. Nice features, big screen. Great! What's the price? £80 on my contract or free on the £35 a month one? Well, that's not abominable. I was considering moving up anyway, as I need more minutes.
So I go over to the counter and the guy there looks it up in his big book o'phones. So the upgrade price for that is..... £200! What? The? That's patently ridiculous. They want me to sign a new contract with them and what incentive do I have? Nothing. That's what. Nothing.
He called up the upgrade team, and apparently they can't do a thing, even if I do move up to a more expensive contract.
They offered me £10 off a month instead of a phone, but that cancels out my 25% discount and gives me a net saving of £30 over the year. Whoopee.
So T-Mobile can shaft themselves. Can anyone recommend another operator? The lady in Carphone Warehouse recommended O2, but they spook me for some reason.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.
I was hoping to stay on T-Mobile as I've got a lifetime 25% discount from them, so I'll try calling them myself. The guy at the shop did say that their upgrade policy had changed yesterday though. And £10? If mine was only £10 I'd have happily paid that. They wanted about £200 from me!
