    I'm seriously considering it. I'm on Android atm and think it's great, but I don't make that much use of its functionality. I want more of a communication device, which is what blackberrys do quite well :)

    Contract or Pay & Go? I currently have an iPhone 4 white 32GB with Three so I'll add an additional line, they said they will give me a deal/discount :D

    I was thinking of just buying the handset and using my existing SIM, I didn't know you could add an extra line to a contract. How does that work?

    Is it advisable for you to get another line, considering you are trying to build a credit history so you can get a credit card after the rejections you have had? so therefor not wanting to overburden yourself with multiple accounts?

    Yes it will be fine, it will help build my credit even faster. Showing I can keep a consistent payment History helps dramatically. 3 UK will give me an additional line because I qualify for 3 accounts. A part of me believes I struggle to obtain credit cards because I have only been 18 for a couple months, also credit card criteria is 100x harder to meet compared to a mobile phone contract
