Getting a new phone

June 27th, 2009

After yesterdays post about how I don’t really want I contract phone, I have reconsidered.  I want a nice new phone that has all the gizmos that are around at the moment.  I have always been behind the times when it comes to technology.  I still don’t have an iPod or a GPS system for the car.  I think it is time I caught up; ideally I would like one of the new smart phones.


I have always been a fan of Samsung since I have had my D900 and looking at the smart phones that are around at the moment the i900 Omnia has caught my eye.  I would have to use one of those mobile phone buyers to cash in my mobile phone.  The Omnia comes on a £35 a month contract on Orange which is a quite a price increase for me but it comes with 900 minutes and 500 texts so I will never run out.  I guess it will also help my social life, if I have brought something I like to use it to the maximum.  It will give me a target to use all the texts and minutes before the month is out.


The feature I am most interested in is the Wi-Fi connection.  A friend from University during my PGCE had a Wi-Fi connection who used it all the time, mainly during practicals to find out what we were supposed to find when it all went wrong.


I am trying to convince my self that it is worth it, because I want a new phone which will cost around £150.  £150 is the same price as 5 months on a contract, so really I am only paying for 7 months in total.  I am going to find a mobile phone buyer which will hopefully give me enough money to pay for another months contract.
