      Phoning, texting, mobile email and web surfing.

      I need an uprade for my 2GB ipod nano as well

        Yes - if you can afford the tariff and get chances to recharge at least once per day.

        Best phone on the market by a long way but battery power is the one of the worst on the market by a long way.

          Hmm - so using it as an ipod won't help this either..

          The tarrif doesn't change

            Best mobile surfing platform ever. Unless you like flash bit and bobs.

            Downloadable apps are the coolest thing about it though.

            Try the keyboard first. If you don't find yourself wanting to cut your fingers off in frustration then buy it...

              I don't understand why it doesn't come with a stylus - would a stylus work with it?

              I have spares for my XDA (purchased from ebay) as I'm quite good at losing them..

                You set your stylus free?

                  How do you work that one out. What does it do that any any number of other phones can't?
