I was initially looking at upgrading my current N73 at end of Jan 08 to the
new N95 8GB on 3UK, but after 3 downgrading the basestation at my work which
I use the 3G connection the most, I'm in two minds.

I have the N73 on a 3UK Contract with X-Series Silver add-on, which has been
very good reliable mobile and internet service for me and used to use the
X-Series on my contract continuously, but since the basestation downgrade at
the start of Dec 2007 I've been left with crappy 2G coverage on and off.

Last week I ditched the X-Series on my contract and started using the
Internet Add-on on a spare 3PAYG SIM I had with £25 credit still on it. Now
I've switch the PAYG SIM to the N73 and started using my 3Skypephone for
calls and text. The 3PAYG in the N73 will still giv me my mail via gmail
app, internet access and connection to LCG Slick for IM, but the Internet
Radio has been lost cos I can't get a decent connection to allow it to play
for any length of time.

I have the N800 Internet Tablet which I've been using more and more every
evening while away working cos I can always find a free wifi connection in
the hotel I'm staying at and been using that for calling home at night via
Skype. I've also been limited to downloading loads of music at night and
playing during the day rather than turning the Nokia Internet Radio Player
ON on the N73.

Thats a bit of the background, what i've been pondering over is...

Should I get a new 18month contract from 3UK just to get a shiny new N95 8GB
which I can't use to the fullness cos I've lost my 3G connection or stick
with the N73, N800 and 3Skypephone setup then look for a cheap N95 or E51 at
some point. I might even look again at FREE 12mths contracts with cashback
just so I at least get some call minutes and texts?
