Cool Good deals on Orange with a Nokia?

My current contract is up in a couple of months time and i'm looking at sticking with a Nokia(it's what i'm used to) and also with Orange.

Not bothered if it's not unlocked. I have the N70 at the moment and prefer a larger phone, as i find the buttons can get too wee and fiddly with the smaller phones.

Was looking at possibly the N93 for a backup camera and maybe something like the slide phone....6288?

Any good deals through the usual traders, with the free bits n pieces?

Paying £30-35 at the moment on my contract so looking at spending about the same again. Spend way more on texts than calls too.

was looking at the new N95..... but looks a bit ott, as I've already got a PDA with SatNav and an Ipod

Can't get to grips with the Sony Ericsson stuff (bad experience with the T610 - HATED it with a passion, and vowed never to return to them)

Don't know about deals as such, but there's some great phones coming out in the next few months (my contract on Vodas up soon too)

A mate of mine just got a new orange contract. Racoon for £35/month.

18 month contract
Free K800i (other phones offered)
Magic number
550 minutes
200 texts
Unlimited landline calls

Just before he signed i think he got offered some free bundles too, think he got extra minutes/texts for 9 months.

Seemed like a good deal when he told me about it.

i've actually got 4 of them lol

it's not too small and the blue 1 does have better buttons than the black ones , although the 'blue' is a bit of a girly colour, they said blue or pink , so i had the blue, it is very light . .
1 problem i've had with 2 of them is the sim card holder, if the card isn't 100% secure then the phone won't read it, i rectified this by sticking a bit of folded card in the holder to get a better contact, shouldn't have to i know but it worked , the camera is quite good on it as well.
i'll search a couple of pics i took recently and put them up

I have free broadband with mine.

Nokia N80 (£50)

£30 per month.

The N80 can play up from time to time if I'm honest.

No idea which animal this is.

A firmware update has sorted our N80 out, might be worth a try.

Also, if you want an Orange deal, best goto an official orange outlet, they seem to do better deals.

It works fine for weeks and then it'll tell me it can't read the sim and goes offline. I then have to reboot it and switch general profile on and all is well again untill the next time. On the whole, it's excellent.

Took these with it..





How do I go about "updating firmware"?
