Was it Dual sim?
Just playing but no idea which 1 you had as my phone lasts a day only battery & now application wise hence a battery pull but after being dropped untold times & a ridiculous amount of unneeded apps combined with constant emails i'm not surprised. Blackberry all day

It was an old'ish one, not sure exactly, crappy roller ball thing, terrible at email and web browsing. Awful small keys that even my slender fingers couldn't use without constant mashing of the backspace key.

Luckily the sim in it was my UK sim which was already diverted to Skype-In so the only thing I lost were unheartfelt text messages at Christmas and New Year. I now have an old Nokia in my bag, the battery on that lasts even longer.

No wonder you were happy when they stole it lol. Understand the Nokia with a longer lasting battery as the less memory usage + apps running will gain a longer batt life. Then again I have not ever heard any real complaints in regards to Nokias

I have foreign sims with data plans, those go in the iPhone when I'm out of the country.

This is my current spare

Typical Fanboy. Nothing matches the iPhone 4 yet, so even if they changed nothing but the colour it would still be the best available.

Sony Erricsson maybe on the way to bring out a new Xperia mini towards the end of this year. As it appears the current one has now had its final software update so is on its way out.

Should provide a good alternative to those still wanting something more compact than the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S etc.

Of course the iPhone5 is well into the rumour mill. Or is that an iPhone4 v2.0 ?
