IMHO Three have come on in leaps and bounds and are much much better than
they were even a year ago.

Relatively speaking. OTOH there were recent reports of them supergluing
SIM's into phones, so you decide if you want to deal with a company like
this.

Only been with Three for a few days and am pleasently surprised,
reception is far better than I tought it would be. I have got the N73
on X-Series Silver. I am really pleased I can use data without the
worry that I would need a new mortgage when the bill turns up.

ones for £20.

Indeed, 3 are only protecting their huge phone subsidy.
If you want phones you can change sims on be prepaired to pay a lot more

This is exactly the package I am interested in. WHat are the X series
services like?
| |
| Gerry \(The MOTH\) 2006-12-21, 4:34 am |
| I'm on the X-Series Silver (£5pm)
MobileMail: Always on email, but saps the battery, so don't forget its on
overnight.
Email: With the Nokia built-in email client I can connect to many email
addresses and have it check it every 1hr or so.
YahooGO: Check my yahoo email. Don't use the Yahoo Messenger.
MSN Messenger: Works a tret, apart from when you have no one online, tends
to crash out when that happens.
Mobilcast: Crap
Skype: Works great and the sound quality is very good. Just need to get more
friends using skype.
Internet: Loaded OperaMini runs a lot faster than the nokia browser. Check
feeds, visit forums, check MSN Email, anything.
Think that's all the x-series apps? I've also loaded additional apps onto my
N73 to enchance my listening pleasure.
S60 Internet Radio: Listen to any shoutcast radio stream on you mobile. Been
loading ones with ACC+ and low bitrate, sounds still the same and doesn't
use that must data up. Well I've got 1GB to use up!
Rebranded my Three N73 to the Euro1 Music Edition. Music player is must
better and you can add albumn art to tracks.

The £20 flip phone (ZTE F866) I heard was superglued. The Motorola C975
not glued, not the ones I've had from both superdrug and ordered from 3
online.

if you have one that is glued in, what happens if you take it to service
centre as it's "faulty" as surely it would be categorised as such from
manufacturer spec?

I joined them beginning of November, spoke to CS in India (at least they
use their 'real' names and not some fake English sounding name). This
was to port my number over, had no problems with them, very pleasant and
even phoned back to confirm the details and the port details were
accepted OK.
Friends called them with help on Messenger Live and they were happy with
the support, in fact they thought they were excellent.
Seems things maybe going in the right direction.

No, it's hard work, you have to say everything slowly and you
have to explain the same question several times IME.
It takes 4 times longer to get what you want out of the Indian
call centres because they HAVE to use their scripts, a recent
example of this is Sky, my remote broke, we went through god
knows how many checks, batteries, what kind of batteries,
when did you put them in etc etc, I ended up telling the
useless cow to feck off and called their Scottish number,
now it's sky so I was still on hold for 10 minutes before
speaking to someone, but I told them remote was broke, they
said oh dear and posted out another.
I really do hate Indian call centres.
