Looking for a new one.. pay as you go probably.
My last one is very antiquated, so without being too 'boysy'iykwim, which would you recommend?

those big ones were so funny. My dad used to have one when they first came out and we used to think it was so cool when infact it was the size and weight of a housebrick

there was a student sitting on the train near me the other day and her fingers were going ten to the dozen tapping away on her phone

it was so distracting and i was so jealous how fast she could do it

The thing is I never think anyone else is being rude or vulgar when I see them eating in the street, it's just what I think of myself!

Or play on the front doorstep!

At my school when we were aged 14 we were permitted to have "village leave" and go to the village to make purchases during break time. But we were not allowed to eat any of those purchases standing in the street = the height of vulgarity. I STILL feel very guilty eating anything in the street!

I have a Nokia one. On contract with BT Mobile. Has so far been much cheaper for us than our previos O2 and Orange contracts. Dh and I have a phone each, but have the same contract - we share our mnutes/texts, etc. Works well.

You mean you never talk to him when he's not there, ks?

Both Dh and I had a video camera phone from 3 and had to get rid of it. DH had 3 faults in a year and the phone had to go back to 3 to be fixed, and each time he was 3 days without a phone. Half the time mine was unuseable, kept rebooting and the coverage is rubbish unless you are in London. The phone was great, just coverage and customer service was bad. Just swapped with O2 who we were with originally, just went to 3 to get the video stuff, now back with 02 and everything great.

I hate my phone, it's a Motorola, payg with Vodafone - looks quite nice but doesn't do what I need it to! It requires loads of confirmation buttons to be pressed to send a txt - my last one needed 2 clicks, where this one needs 10 Also from time to time the recipient gets gibberish (string of random symbols) instead of my normal eloquent prose. I've no idea why?! Also my old phone would tell me when the txt had been read, not just delivered. This one doesn't. Also it will let me have a special tone for dh or school calling, but only if I have that tone for texts from him as well, and it keeps playing it until I press the button, which means I can't have it on at work.

Means I spend less on it though!
