  • Apple products are MEGA and are very very simple to use and with the new airplay features you simply would be mad to avoid the biggest company in the world :)

    Was offered one when I upgraded my contract....declined it for a Nokia N8 - cheaper and better and you can rely on Nokia. Don't even want a Blackberry either, Whatsapp can be downloaded on most operating systems for free and does what it says on the tin.

    Go for the Nokia C3-01or x2 or one of Orange's own brand phones....the Barcelona is recommended.

    I noticed you went for an Orange brand - good choice OP :)

    Tell me how much did it cost you to be able to do that? Pretty sure that wouldn't "just work" on any TV.

    It didn't cost me a penny coz I did I few surveys on Consumer Pulse and I got it for free :)
    But to you it's £89 or less on eBay
    You are right it won't work on any tv :(
    Only 1's with a hdmi connection on them !!
    Which is most today you would probably agree :)
