Guest impy78 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 am starting early on my upgrade plans this year, as I would like to be able to talk myself into a really good deal, so I need preperation...... I am coming up to the end of my 18 month flext 35 contract (with web n walk) in May. I usually spend £10 over my line rental each month...... What i would like (in my wildest dreams!!!) is the T-Mobile Ameo, either free, or at a (heavily) discounted price. If not, my second choice is an MDA Vario II (loving the windows mobile!!!) And my last choice would be a Nokia N95, but only if the chips are really down!!! Any suggestions, please?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i've come from Windows Mobile to the N95, and theres not a single thing i really miss.. Admittedly, i'm not a officetype, but i do run Microsoft Exchange for my email and contacts and thought i would miss activesync much more than i do! Things just work.. and thats been my issue with Windows Mobile (saying that, the N95 has a killer bug: If you hit cancel while its trying to connect to an access point, or it tries to connect to a preset access point which isn't available (like a wireless lan at home), the phone crashes and restarts! Its really not that big of a deal though, and will hopefully be fixed in a future firmware upgrade!) -Raz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on Flext 35 + Web'n'Walk (so about £42.50 per month), and spend £10 extra on calls per month, then you could try going for Flext 50 + W'n'W - that would be about £57.50 per month total. On that tariff, the Ameo is a more reasonable £130. These are new contract prices though, don't know about upgrade prices. One warning though - you may need to switch to the new tariff before trying to upgrade - I'm not sure - but often it's your previous spend which is used to determine upgrade prices. This is certainly the case for Orange. I've never done an upgrade though - first time for me will be July time. Thing to remember though is that whilst you might save £130 by going with the Flext 75 vs Flext 50, you're paying an extra £25 per month for 6 months (you can't downgrade tariff for 6 months). So £25 x 6 = £150. So you're almost breaking even, but get lots of minutes thrown in and don't have to pay up front. Vario II is much cheaper. on Flext 35 + W'n'W (to new customers) it would be £40. I like the concept of the Ameo has a portable internet device (I find the Vario/Wizard's screen a little small, and a bit low res - oh how I love the Pocket LOOX 640x480 screen!!!) - but as a phone? No way. I find the Vario fine to carry around. A bit on the large side, but okay on the belt case and not too bad - but nothing significantly larger!

Guest Dr Who Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 You can always do the old port your old number out to PAYG and get a new contract if the upgrade price is significantly more than the new one. It is a hassle though and means carrying about two phones for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a look at the Ameo, and although it is still a very beautiful thing, I don't think I can live with it as my main phone. I have fallen for the vario II - lovely!!!
