Advantages: small, perfectly formed

Disadvantages: stupid ring tones

I don't know about you , but I am forever using my quality digital camera and thinking, why, o why, o why can't I attach a piece of cheap junk mobile phone to this.
My life would just be so much easier.
I could take pictures, ring someone.....and tell them!
Only they wouldn't be able to hear me, because the quality would be so poor. But, what the heck.... it's the immediacy, and the cachet and the ....fooled into the believing through advertising type of thing.

You can probably tell where I'm coming from by now. But read on anyway....

What I used to look for in a phone?

The ability to ring and speak to other people.
The advantage of being able to receive calls.

What I now look for in a phone?

Obviously the two above.
Text messaging. (I don't like it, nobody spells anymore) - So, something with predictive text - called T9 on the Siemens.
Bluetooth Connectivity - It's a computer thing really, similar to Infra Red, only one step beyond.
Infra Red - For the one step backwards (My previous phone) - saves putting all those details in by hand.
WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) - Internet for the Mobile Phone.
An Alarm Clock - I have now got used to using my mobile as a wake-up call.
Price.

An with the Siemens S55 I got it all - and quite a lot of other stuff thrown in.

It's small - not something I'd always thought of as an advantage - and packed full of goodies.
An address book/calendar organiser/Message saver and sender/Records File - so you can time those calls/Surf and Games and, more importantly, a comprehensive, easy to read manual about how to set it up and get started. Big plus over my last Nokia phone. It's also a rather nice tactile shape, or perhaps that's just me.

But given all that, what eventually sold me was the price.
Nil Pounds.
FREE has indeed been one of my most favourite words for as lo
ng as I can remember.
And free it is........IF

You go to Vodafone online and purchase their Anytime 100 payplan for a cost of £15.00 per month - they also throw in 50 FREE (that word again) text messages per month.

Their website is appallingly slow (but that's for a future op.), but the deal is by far the best one around for me.

And the phone.....I love it.
And heartily recommend ...............
.............................................. .............. and there's even a camera attachment!
