Hooray, getting an SPV from Santa

[Guest rvanr]

I opened my wife's Orange invoice and noticed charges for a phone number I did not recognise and for something called SPV promotion pack. I visited the Orange site and now it makes sense: I mentioned some time ago that if I were to buy a mobile (don't have one now) I'd only consider one that combines lots of functions. I was not even dropping a Christmas present hint and now she's bought me an SPV. From what I read on this forum it will be a great present! :D :( :(

I would laugh so hard if Rvanr came back and told us it wasn't for him! :D

[Guest johnnyt]

Thats not nice.. thats like pissing on his cornflakes :D :(

[Guest chewie]

^ Well it would serve him right for being a sneaky nosey sod :D

Oh no offence Rvanr, just having a little fun :wink:

[Guest Presser]

Maybe you are getting her old phone and she is having the new one?... sorry mate but you should not be nosey... you will have no surprises.... or maybe you will???

[Guest rvanr]

I promise to tell you all what happens over Christmas. I am fairly certain it's not for herself though, she's a bit of a technofobe. And BTW chewie: I was not being nosey, just happened to open the mail. I put it back and I don't think she twigged. As for pissing on my cornflakes: never eat those anyway!

:D :wink: :(

Nice 1 rvanr!

Well don't be thinking you'll be playing with it straight away though.. Took me a week (days&nights) to get to grips with the thing. Guess we'll be seeing you more often on MDC after xmas then, huh?! :D

[Guest rvanr]

:D Well, I was not disappointed! :(

Had some relatives over, including 4 little kids. Should have seen their faces when they came down early in the morning and saw the mountain of presents. They looked almost as happy as I did when I unwrapped my phone!

I agree that the phone seems a bit slow at times. For no apparent reason sometimes it seems to take ages responding to a key press. It must be doing something in the background, like communicating with the transmitter/exchange. Any telecomms experts out there that can shed some light on this?

Apart from that little niggle it's great! I'll be using it for real when I am going to Dubai on Saturday.
