Wrong Mobile Chosen - How do I Change

mandyd36

Hi am on an O2 contract for 24 months and am half way through, I chose a Nokia N95 8GB phone, but realise now that I should have got a blackberry as I need to access my emails on the go, I know i can with the Nokia I have now, but you have to connect to internet etc. Have been told by o2 that I would have to pay over £200 for a blackberry but obviously not happy to do this, does anyone have any advice they could offer in how I could get a new blackberry?

1) Pay your term fees and upgrade early
2) Buy one outright on prepay or sim free
3) Sell yours on ebay and buy one with the money

What's stopping you from connecting to the net to retrieve your emails?

Takes ages, to connect then go to hotmail etc. need it to be instant as am losing work

Is Hotmail BB compatible now? It hadn't used to be ?

i had a nokia N95, and set up my e-mail accounts on it to check every 10 minutes or something like that, and it used to do it in the background for me..



do O2 offer any blackberries on PAYG? if not, buy a sim free one, or a second hand one from ebay, but, you'll then have to up your contract to get the blackberry service. oh, and hotmail isn't that good of an e-mail system.. maybe look at gmail as it offers imap for free, so you could set up your phone with that, and you'd get email through...

the N95 is a crap phone in comparison to what's available now, which is why i'll NEVER sign a 24 month contract, as things are outdated 6 months after you buy them..

As robt points out, Nokia Messaging is currently supporting push email for compatible Nokia phones and works with regular hotmail accounts. It's fairly easy to set up and works pretty well and you set it to be permanently synched or at set intervals.

Note, the service is 'free on trial' for now, so bear that in mind as Nokia may introduce a fee for this moving forward.

Yeah, I've got the N85 and I use a program called Emoze to push email from about 4 different email accounts. (the nokia email app doesnt work for my work email account)

This is the best solution for you with regard email, however, if you really just want a different phone then MRC shows the options.
