either a TV application (like the other networks) and also PTT (press
to talk) ?

Got myself an N80 (with no O2 branding whatsoever - thanks Dialaphone)
... but was wondering about the above ?

Streaming TV would be nice, and having a play with PTT would pass some
time :)

Cheers

Jim!

I'm afraid no to both questions from what I can remember, they
certainly don't appear to have any kind of TV service, also
they don't do push to talk, afaik the only company that do
this is orange on their pay as you talk service, I'm sure
someone will correct me though if I'm wrong!

Push to talk is a heap of shite, and pretty useless. We use SMS in Europe.

And we have no need of high definition television because we have
sandwich makers.... ;-)

Actually PTT is at least as useful (if not more so) as SMS. It
absolutely boggles me as to why the networks don't provide it - I
suspect they're afraid of loosing call revenue, which would explain
why when it appears in some unusable and crippled form (such as Orange
weird implementation) it's always priced to discourage take up and
use.

You would have been better on THREE, much cheaper, more for your money and a
TV service.
It pays to do some research and avoid insurance policies which are scams.

Me thinks not :)

Overall cost for a 12 month contract is £300 - for that I get a
sim-free Nokia N80 - generic firmware / no branding / no sim locks and
250 x/net mins & 100 texts per month.

TV & PTT are 'gimmicky' ... VOIP on the N80 is already out, and
TruPhone (when launched on the N80) will offer freecalls thorughout
Dec as a taster ...

No - give me O2 anyday. UK based Customer Service as well. The 'scam
insurance policy' you mention has already been cancelled with Allianz
Cornhill - took me less than 5 minutes to write the letter & cancel
the DD.

Have you tried getting '3' to remove a sim-lock lately ? At least
Orange will do it from Day 1 of your contract for £20 !

Cheers

Jim!
