Just looked on t-mobile and saw the k800i for £19.99 and called up O2 my current supplier as they wanted £129 last week for one . The said they would do it for £29.99 .

I cancelled anyway as I am sick of contracts and will try pay as you go again till my phone breaks.

Skye and I had been on EasyMobile pay as you go which was great for 3p a minute and 1p for texts. For some reason EasyMobile decided to shut down last month and I transferred all the 7 numbers I had wangled under EasyMobile to FRESH and picked up £70 of Sim Cards. Did loose some of the credit I had on EasyMobile but as most of this had been free anyway I never realy was out of pocket at the end. I thought the whole EasyMobile web set up was excellent and you could manage your Pay as You Go accounts fully from the web and download full call history IN PDF format. EasyMobile and now FRESH use T-Mobile's Network.

Will use the FRESH free credit up over the commng year and meanwhile I tend to use my Orange contract number which is a price match Virgin EQ tariff which only charges me for actual calls made (very competitive) but no monthly charge. EasyMobile provided me with the unlock code for the L7 I bought of them and it now works with my Orange Sim card fine. Monthly Bills often in single figures.

Biggest laugh was that I went to cancel the kids earlier contracts that have reached their year, as they are really superfluous now that they are on Flext35.

The lassie offered to change the contracts to £1/month, 3,000 mins off peak to mobiles and land lines, and 100 texts. That is just bloody silly, and even though I dont really need them, I will just use the sim cards as spares, or co-use one in my phone for the free time, which is PAYG, and put one in Verians who is on Vodafone PAYG.

Okay so got all hardware and software and tested it all out on the run up to Inverness today. In short, works perfectly.

I create a route on Autoroute 2005 and then used ITN convertor to convert it to a Tom Tom .itn file and uploaded it no problem.

I also uploaded the Nov 06 speed camera database and told it to beep with 500 yards to go.

When playing with the device on a break noticed you can customise the display and as a result it makes certain info bigger the less you have on screen which is nice when all you want is miles to go and your GPS speed.

I noticed a nice feature which my friends Treo does nto have and that is that you can use you bluetooth earpiece with TomTom so even with music on I could get directions and on the dreary A9 speed camera warnings.

Battery on the GPS device and blue tooth earpiece (jabra) lasted the whole journey and I left my Nokia on charge.

All in for £45 I am a happy camper will be tres useful when in France as I got the 905MB Western Europe maps too.
