Listener Question:

I have a million dollar question (again!) for all the team for a veryreal situationI have been using a PAYG Orange phone as I now work for two companiesand need a separate number.  I bought a £29 Nokia 2330 and, wellbasically got £29 worth!It is slaughtering me on call costs though and I've topped up threetimes in the last couple of months and twice ran out while talking toa client so I can't continue with that arrangement.I thought about getting a new contract for about £30 per month whichby the looks of it is the going rate for about 600 minutes , unlimitedinternet and a decent phone.Am I mad to do this, Andy hates contracts but i can't shell out £400just for a phone right now, but I could I suppose keep the nokia andget a contract Sim (but where's the fun in that!) and there doesn'tseem to be much of an incentive to have the contract without thehardwareI'm looking at the Hero but unsure of Android and the lack of updatedsoftware, and also the HTC HD2 but then what about mobile 6.5?I use windows 7 for work and also run a Windows home server so Ithought that the Windows may well fit in with all that but no-oneseems to rate it anymore.  The new phone 7 series looks awesome but Ineed to sort these call bills out sooner.  Would the HD2 get anautomatic upgrade or would I have to pay?I already have a 3G iphone for the other number which is now out ofcontract and on "simlicity 20" which is great, but don't want to bedull and have two iphones!I got the impression that despite everyone slagging mobile 6.5 off,you quite liked the HD2 Gareth?

Many thanks to The Stetz for the music
