Just checked the Simplicity tariffs and the £25.00 and above plans include tonnes of minutes and texts and a free bolt on, and this can be unlimited web (worth £7.50 a month), so all in all, they are pretty astonishing value, just depends on if you want a phone as well though.

There is always the take Simplicity for a few months, grab a bargain, and then phone up to cancel after 4 months or so and say xxxxx have offered you a similar deal on a 12 month contract but with a free phone and only a fiver more a month etc, and then they may budge to retain you.;

All the HTC devices are always top notch; I still say the Exec was the most complete solution ever, and it's a crying shame they don't do them anymore (although if you telephone the business sales line I believe they may still offer them), but to be honest, you can't go wrong with any of the devices.

Try searching for reviews on them; places like http://www.trustedreviews.com/ quite often review the HTC devices (not always from the XDA range so they sometimes appear under another name), and give in depth reviews.

Most reviews are quite honest, but sometimes, the reviews can be biased for or against a certain product, so best to try and look at two or more reviews when choosing a product.

If you can, try and go into an o2 shop and tell them you want to try the device you are looking at; they should be happy to help (if they think their going to sign you up to a nice 18 or 24 month contract) but just don't take one there and then if you really like it, before you have spoken to the telephone sales team first.

HTC are the manufacturer of all the XDA's, they are primarily OEM devices in the UK, marketed under brands like XDA, T-Mobile MDA, Orange SPV etc, but over in the US they are more common to be seen as branded HTC, although there are exceptions like the iMate JasJar etc...

o2 XDA tend's to offer the best and most current range, they also tend to have the newer handsets before the other networks due to o2's XDA being such a huge success with business customers and them paying a lot of money to HTC for more exclusivity.

Ive worked in carphone warehouse and fones 4u and VODAFONE is by far the best network they cover 90% of the whole world hence cheap calls to and from abroad, vodafone family at a cost of £7 a month 6 people can talk for absoulutly free as much and as long as you want plus stop the clock you get an hour call and only 3 minutes deducted from your minutes.
vodafone were also the first network in uk being longest served and well trusted e.g: Virgin trains use vodafone not virgin mobile lol
And yes Nokia N95 8GB very wise choice.
This fone in voda is available Free on £30 a month.

i got a n95 on o2 for £35 a month but happy to pay it, what a phone. i sometimes come on here using someone elses wireless depending on where i am. i also use windows messenger on it for free and nokia give you you a free trial on its sat nav for 30 days then i think its £40 a year. its gotta be the best phone out right now, twice what the i-phone is.

good luck
