If you go to the TMobile page and look the monthly plans, at the bottom of the pages describing the Flext plans are links to a calulator that will let you see what your plan will give you. Flext35 on 18month contract gives you 900 minutes calls or 1800 texts or any combination up to that (also including picture messages and voicemail) as well as 'unlimited' web access.
I just switched from Vodafone to this - handset was �50 - and am loving it! No problems with connecting to web, no worries that each Mb will cost �2.35, no sticking to a fixed amount of texts each month, and finally I will use voicemail - I so objected to paying 10p per message before.
Vodafone also charged me over �200 for the handset on a relatively cheap plan and increased my contract to 18 months. With TMobile you can downgrade your plan after 6 months. I don't work for TMobile by the way, though it sounds like I'm advertising for them, but was a loyal voda customer for 12-13 years and was unhappy at their offer (though I initially took it) and their subsequent management of a faulty handset.
Sorry for double post! I thought it was lost in the ether 😉
I have returned my O2 handset and signed up for T Mobile at a shop today with Flext 35 -web n walk with �5 off deal. If you take insurance for �7 a month the phone is free (they said you needed to pay for 4 months before cancelling though) very good.
The O2 phone is slightly better as it included a 1gig memory card and the operating system is better, its just a normal 'desktop' and you can assign shortcuts to any of the buttons in the central cluster. The T-Mobile version only lets you choose the left and right shoulder keys and has annoying icons for messaging, web, diary events etc on the 'desktop'.
Wanted to know if anyone can confirm that o2 will be changing their contract deals by bringing new ones that include data bundles?
I was going to leave Orange and join Three on the X-Series until I made a call to upgrades.
I got the N95 for free, 2500 cross network anytime mins and unlimited texts for �35. Bargain!
O2 are bringing new tarrifs in from 27th this month, they are very cagey about details (the retentions team 'havent been trained on them yet'😉 but im sure it will be a data/web offer!
I've ordered an N95 on Vodafone - �60 for the handset on my old contract (extended for another 18 months) which gives me 200 anytime mins, stop the clock and unlimited texts for �30 per month. I'm just considering if I have made the right choice though, due to the cost of data on Vodafone.
I have 14 days to cancel the contract if I want to, so am thinking about maybe canceling it and gettin the N95 on T-Mobile Flext 35 web 'n' walk - �70 for the handset and �37.50 a month, only thing is the hassle of canceling and changing network. Anyone got any advice for me?

Yes, if you want to use VoiP then don't get a Vodaphone N95, unless you're prepared to use Phoenix etc and flash it yourself. Vodaphone are one of the carriers that cripple the phone, such that VoiP is impossible without reflashing the phone (or buying an unlock code from them)
at the moment - if you want to use an n95 to its full - ie using data - t-mobile is the only option. the others will surely bring in cheap flat rates soon. i believe '3' just introduced an 'unlimited' (1gig a month) flat rate at £5 for other than X-series - though they dotn offer the n95 yet.
orange, voda and o2 are losing alot of valuable users to t-mobile at the moment - they are just slow dinosaurs that take months to react.
btw - my two t-moby n95s dont have any nonstandard feature other than the browser being a weband walk icon - otherwise its completely plain normal series 60.
are you sure the o2 one wasn't a custom job - the t-moby ones are standard.
the only thing missing i know of is the nokia IM application. which is pretty dire and doesnt connect to the standard IM networks anyway.
