Timberland,
I've already got a phone on a contract at £25 a month and can change phone every two years and currently have the Nokia E5
and I'm really using the mobile internet and wifi on the Nokia more than I ever thought I would
and have just discovered skype for the e5
but, skype is having problems and the phone is crashing
for internet the screen is small
when I selected the e5 with the help of my friends here I didn't think i'd use the internet or wifi or the
shall we say 'smart phone apps' as often as I do these days
and now I can admit life would be more fun with a bigger screen and a more capable mobile computer which is what these iphones and galaxies are
and the other day I was on the redeem your airmiles website from the airline and for 2/3 of my current miles I can get an unlocked galaxy s
and for the reasons above am tempted
eek,
thanks for the feedback about the device
the same miles will get me four european return flights with the same airline
which thinking out loud makes the proposal uneconomic and I'd be better burning some
of the airmiles against flight purchases and paying with the respective cash that the flights
would have cost for a new iphone or galaxy II
voila eureka !
thanks

Milan,
Get the phone, play with it. If you like it then fine. If you don't then flog the f*cker on EBay.

having slept on it...
I'd rather keep the miles for flights for the the Mrs and wee bairns
and the E5 is not so bad
