    Just upgraded mine today

    I'd been in most phone shops and asked what they recommended, more than one said the Sony Ericsson C902. So I went for that one and it's a very easy to use phone and picture quality is fantastic. Main plus point is that it's smaller and lighter than most of the other top of the range phones. Can't really go into a detailed review just yet though as I've only had it since this morning. Although I would still recommend it because everything else on it seems to be the same as the SE K800 I've just got rid of, which was a brilliant phone, so I doubt there will be any flaws to it.

    Just out of interest

    If your SE K800 was a brilliant phone, why have you got rid of it?

    I'd imagine...

    Because you can get a free phone every 12-18 months so you might as well take it, plus it's rare that a newer phone is not as good as a predecessor.

    Don't understand this throwaway society we live in

    When I buy something, I use it until it breaks.

    Yep

    Was due for renewal, and could have any brand new phone I wanted for free.

    Indeed...

    But if you can get a new phone worth £300-£500 for nowt, surely you'd take it?

    You might sell it of course, which is tempting.

    For me

    If a phone company can afford to give you a free phone every year then they are obviously massively over-charging you on your tariff.

    It's not for nowt though really

    You're being bent over and ****** on your monthly subscription thing. You've actually already paid for it.

    I agree, if I was on such a tariff then I'd take the phone, but I wouldn't dream of signing up to one in the first place. I paid £17 for my phone 3 years ago and I've put about £30 on it in all that time.

    agreed

    though I used to pay for the gimmick of new tech that no fecker really needs.

    To be honest

    I find it a bit of a nuisance that people can phone me when I'm at home, never mind when I'm out.

    RE: For me

    That's true but it seems you can't really avoid that anymore. Everything's massively overpriced.
    My contract is £35 a month for unlimited texts and 500 minutes to anyone, which me and my dad pay half each to because we get our home broadband free with my contract. So really it works out pretty good for us.

    Another point, you do only get an allowance of so much money towards a new phone when it's up for renewal depending on how much your tarrif is worth. So if you only pay £15 a month you might only get £100 towards a phone. Which isn't that much anymore.
