I have to laugh at the phones that have "everything": I was "given" my 800i (part of the Vodaphone upgrade) and so with dreams of internet surfing and hi-speed picture transfers I set off to explore new possibilities- the world was now my oyster!

Alas, everytime I try the send via GPRS all I get is "error". The man at the phone shop configured the phone; Nokia update site has configured the phone- still no joy :-(

I can't surf squat and my David Baileys are not getting transfered anywhere, anytime soon. As it stands my 800i can phone & text people very well - gee, didn't my last phone do that? - and the music playback is very good, despite the random crackle during track changes (still no fix). Alas, I'm still stuck with Fish & Chips, plus the new dollop of Tartare sauce that is the MP3 player- No Lobster for this individual.

As time as passed I find that I no longer want to send anyone my photo, or look stuff up on Google, so maybe a sexy slim phone that just makes calls\ text is EXACTLY what I need, at least she won't be so challenging when I slip her into my pocket ^_-
