Phone & E-Mail Device

[richard-af]

I've gone with T-Mobile flext 30 for business.

£30 quid a month (inc VAT) which gives you £90 of credit to spend how you like on calls texts & picture messages.

The business contract also gets a few 'freebies' that personal ones don't get, like itemised billing, a free CD at the end of the year with all your bills on (if you request it) etc.....


The phone cost about 80 quid on this tarrif.

Thanks! I looked at a few reviews on the Orange site, they say it's fiddly, and other stuff not so good. But you say different?

I've had mine for about a month now and love it.

However I can understand that some people just don't like windows smartphones. My business partner hates it and he went for the Nokia N95 instead.

Personally I wanted something that ran Windows Mobile cause I know it will interface with Outlook and there is a shed load of software you can get for them.


It does take a bit of getting used to using the buttons instead of a stylus for navigating, and this can be a bit fidley at times. But it does come with a stylus so you can use that if you prefer.

Don't know about Orange, but if you get it from T-Mobile you get a spare stylus, screen protector and case thrown in, which came as a surprise when I opened the box.

Best thing to do is go into one of the mobile phone shops and ask to look at a working one.

I have no problems with mine and it does all i want it to (sync's calandar and messages with outlook, has a wireless card built in so i can surf at home should the need take me, has bluetooth and can handle a TomTom install so I can use it with my bluetooth GPS, 3G so I can see the wife and kids if I have to be away for the night, etc)

Thanks everyone. I'm going to be bold and march into the mobile shops and ask to see their wares. Cheers!

If you are a PCG member, then you might be able to get some deals.

Have a look here.

Hi, another vote for T Mobile's web & Walk, also have a look at the Nokia E61. Does email, web and runs tomtom. Can also be setup with an exchange server(if you have one). It handles all Office attachments and PDF's - great phone and not too bulky.

Got a Samsung SGH-U600. I like it.

Thanks to all.

I don't suppose anyone wants to hear about my Psion 5?
