    Aye, I remember that. Ah, everytime I go to Tipperary its bloody impossible to get coverage, so I'm guessing its something to do with what Gaz said there...

    Whatever you like. If you do nothing, you'll continue paying the same charges etc but you'll be free to do whatever you want (ie move networks, move to a different plan, go back to PAYG)

    o2 now do a no contract type of bill. Something like €20 for 100 minutes, 100 texts and free 02 texts/calls. AFAIK you can do it each month or leave it. Called something like o2 simiplicity. Girl in work has that, plus an internet add on so she spends less than €30 per month

    500mb of internet (which is loads if you have wifi at home, you also get access to the bitbuzz wifi network). I use it a fair bt when out and about and use about 350-400mb a month

    After that, its the same as that simplicity thing above (150 minutes, 150 texts). YOu can download the eirtext app to send your webtexts from the phone so there's another 250 there. Oh and texts and calls to o2 numbers are free (and not included in your allocation there). There are apps you can download that will make you more connected to if you want (Skype (for internet calls and video calls), whatsapp for messaging other smartphones, Viber for free (internet) calls to other iphones

    Think the phone is about the €270 mark with the contract. €600 or so on PAYG or from the apple website

    Wouldn't see the point in getting one of these.

    Just wait up to a year and a better version will be out and probably less expensive.

    This is a Sony Ericsson and it runs on Android... Do Ericsson function as their own company these days?

    I have the Xperia Mini Pro... Which has a QWERTY keyboard where the PS controls are on that... I'd imagine that's far more useful than a portable video game would be

    Yeah, the crested one definitely looks better. I assume there'd be a rights issue with that though
