Which handset and UK network??

[stuhyde]

mda vario / o2 atom

anyone got one of the above handhelds?.

ive got the mda compact at the mo, very happy with it after upgrading to bigstorage and 1.13ROM/1.13RADIO

But I could do with wifi, and of course WM2005 would be nice as well.

Is the slide out keyboard any good?

im going to a shop over the next few days, but was wondering if anyone had one they could comment on, whats the keybaord like etc.

as for operator

O2 --- im on now, signal great, cant fault, its CUSTOMER BLOODY SERVICES.

they have no clue

a) i cant add bolt-ons to my account as they arent sure whether they will go on
b) cant check balance without being in front of a pc or making a premium rate call
c) recently had my number ported across to an orange account, MORE HASSLE

i want an operator where i can check balance at all times, have good signal, check texts left and good gprs pricings.

looking at possible ORANGE?

who do you use, and DONT tell me to stop with O2.....

I'm with Orange and on the whole I'm fairly happy.

Tha balance can be checked on-line or by phone and it's not premium rate. (Might even be free)

Bolt-ons are called bundles.

Data is currently costing me £1 per MB

Porting numbers is ALWAYS a hassle. Networks don't make it easy to get the PAC code.

I've got a MDA PRO on web n talk 100 for 122 gbp and 12 months on 15gbp, 30gbp for 6 months, from scancom.co.uk gives 100mins crossnet and 40Mb net traffic.

very happy withe T mobile so far, had some teething problems with MDA PRO, but nothing that other people haven't come across.

good luck
