What is the best deal at the moment on O2 which includes 0844's in

Is there a phone out there, that I can put a 2 gig compact flash into?
The idea is that it has a standard USB/Firewire port as well.
When I plug it in, my laptop detects a hard drive, webcam, and a
modem. The phone starts charging from the computer.

Just got my new Siemens M65 a couple of days ago and have a couple issues, I

exchanged a few emails - no problems apart from being very very very
slow.

Recently I got a sales call from a mobile dealer offering to look

Got the £10 Online PAYG sim, which is supposed to give you according to the
booklet that came with the sim 200 free SMS and 25 MMS (Default Option 2),
