HOT: You're seeing the new Mobile Industry Review being put together live. Some bits won't work yet! - Ewan and The Team

I think it’s time for a new handset. My poor E61 is trying to run Jaiku, Good Mobile Messaging, and Truphone - all at the same time. It’s crashing about every two minutes at the moment - which is not so good.

I’m thinking of keeping the E61 for email with Good, and going to an N95 for my general usage. There’s a few issues though, which I’m still yet to figure out.

Firstly, I’m getting a bit peeved with T-Mobile. Web’n'Walk on 3G is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard of late, so I’ve switched it to GSM. It’s slow, constantly breaks, and is generally flakey.

Second, I’d like to try Three, but the N95 isn’t available yet.

Third, I’ve got about another 11 months left on an 18 month contract with my E61 on T-Mobile.

Fourth, the number everyone uses to reach me goes to my E61 via T-Mobile.

Any suggestions on how to fix this pickle appreciated :)

  1. Ewan,

    My configuration (and dilemma) is similar to yours. Right now, I’m using an E61i (unlocked) with a Three SIM and an N95 on Vodafone. For me, my most significant requirement is for push e-mail (from an Exchange server). The E61i is an excellent business phone and combined with a Three SIM (and the national roaming agreements) ensures that I’m

  2. Alex honey,

    Clean off the toot!

    That might help

    On the issue of multiple numbers, these days, lots of us have different contact numbers and stuff, work mobiles, personal mobiles - handing out a new number is a pain but not unexpected these days.

  3. Wanna pay 35p a minute to call me, Alex? Join Vodafone ;-)

  4. @ Chris: Thanks for the feedback on Three. Was contemplating Vodafone the other day..

    @ Lou: It’s not toot, it’s essential stuff! Without Good I have no contacts on my E61, so can’t ring anyone, text anyone or see who’s calling. As for Jaiku, that’s an essential too :)

    @ Ewan: 35p a minute? Eeek.. Then again not sure what I’m paying now on Flext - judging by my recent bills quite a lot!

  5. Don’t forget to let us know what you go with.
