Are there any new ones on the horizon does anyone know?
I'm still bleating on about buying the Bold without actually buying one, but knowing my luck a bigger and better one will come out the day after.

Nokia E71.
Does everything the bold does (I think) and is cheaper.

John - I updated my software on the Nokia last night... The online updater told me 200.21.118 is the latest update?
No mention of 300. etc. I'm liking the update though its quicker and as you have mentioned somewhere else the scrolling when web browsing is a lot quicker.

Can't do E71.
Etisalat, our phone network, only have an unlimited internet/email agreement with Blackberry from what I'm aware of.

No data bundles for the other phones?! Seems a tad odd.

We don't have contracts or get free minutes/free texts etc.
Either pre-paid using phone cards or post-paid.
Blackberry is unlimited internet/email for 30 quid a month, then phone calls/text on top
Rip off tastic

ah i see, forget it all works differently in different reigeons.
8900 is not bad, get bold if possible. Still relatively new as such.

If you can read peoples blackberry emails no company would use blackberry, security is the only reason they are widely used corporately because they are crap and break all the time.

The system has been hacked various times, there's absolutely no chance a worker from an operator can go in and read peoples emails, especially the ones that are held on a server on the company.
