Dunno. How does o2 work in NZ?

They are very cute. But they seem to need charging quite a lot. Big
screen and loads of cutesy things to do on them. But if you're after
an emaily phone there are better ones out there - which are a lot
cheaper to run.
You can *coughs* unlock an iphone but apple will spend half your life
trying to trash your phone next time you connect to itunes.

It is a Quad-band GSM phone
Inclusive data and Wi-Fi applies to use in the UK only so I assume
it'll cost you even more to use it abroad. V dear.

"Please note that some of the unique features of this device
automatically use data services. You may wish to turn some of these
services off before you travel, or be fully aware of the charges that
you are likely to incur."

It is probably cheaper to buy a laptop and pay for internet access in
NZ than buy an iphone and use that.

They are very cute though. Although I did get bored of playing youtube
on it after two days. I'm also quite concerned about that big screen
being quite breakable and it's a desirable object to steal too. I won
mine though, I wouldn't have paid for it.

Thanks to you and Cat for helping me make up my mind NOT to get one! I was
toying with it because I need a new mobile and as we're going to NZ, I
wondered whether to combine the two. However, as I use my mobile extremely
rarely and find complicated ones terribly irritating (I currently have one
of Chocolate LGs which I hate) I was wondering whether to combine a phone
with having email facilities and now see that I'd be getting the worst of
all worlds! I might consider an Apple laptop but they're expensive and once
I get home I'll hardly use it. Probably!
Any recommendations for easy to use Mac compatible phones working with
Orange will be very welcome.
