Thx for the replies.
I'm really asking if this particular model will do what I need rather than
=
is there a better model.
My supplier is offering a free upgrade to this phone and cutting my
monthly=
charge from =A315.32 to =A38 inc vat for a 24 month contract.

Dave, can you ask your friend can he get google maps with LIVE traffic?
On my laptop, I go to www.google.co.uk and click on maps, put in a
location=
then click on traffic (on the right of the screen).  This is so useful whe=
n planning a trip.

Thx
Andy
