    Have I got the campest Blackberry going?

    Contract renewal - managed to negotiate 15 a month with more minutes than I need, unlimited texts, and bb email etc for 2 years.

    Happens to come with a Blackberry Pearl 9105, which looks nice and jeans pocket sized.

    While likely to carry on using the 9300 and keep the Pearl as a reserve, what is this phone actually like? Only took it to halve my current bill!

    Who are you with? I'm looking at switching from mine in order to half my monthly bill too (I massively over-estimated my usage last time...)

      Blackberry's are aimed at corporate whores Shirley?
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Mine is a Blackberry Torch - smashing, fast phone - not camp really, but splendid all the same.

          Enot!

            Fancied the Torch but silly money and very dated processor, so supposed to be rather slow.

            With Orange Cojak - We can Blackberry Messenger sweet nothings to each other

            Officially #22 a month for 400 mminutes and unlimited texts, but customer care got me down to #15, which makes by 10% discount through work not worth bothering about!

            Possibly could have got a Curve 9300 again for the same deal, but mine is only 3 months old, so pointless having two of the same phone! Small screen, but ideal for emails, facebook etc, plus it actually fits in the pocket!

            I believe Virgin do the 8520 for #10 a month for existing Virgin customers, but only GPRS.

                  Ha - my knocked off Windows re-installed old works laptop! Was re-installed in US format! Mind you, the Curve works a treat with this website.

                  Got the joys of a Travelodge in Hemel Hempstead with work tomorrow night. Need to start contracting again - if staying in tulip places, may as well get the money for it!

                    The one in Wolsey Road or the one off the A41? Either way, a poor choice, I'm afraid.

                    In future, tell them you need to stay in the Watermill in Bourne End. The pubs across the road do good beer and food.
