Author Orange: SPVM700 or Nokia N95?

Can anyone help with this decision please.

It's upgrade time for me (Band 5- basically it means I can get any phone for
£0)

I would like my upgrade to have Wireless and GPS

Which of the M700 or N95 should I choose?

I'm also a bit confused as to how much extra (and who I would pay) it would
cost to get equivalent functionality to a standalone TomTom unit for the
GPS - for example , I think the N95 can do routefinding as standard (for
free) but not with voice instructions?

As a bonus question :) what's the best phone to get as a band 1 upgrade (up
to £50). I'm tempted by the Nokia 6300 or 5500.

Many thanks for any pointers.

Band1 : low spending customer - gets worst upgrade deals
Band5 : high spending customer - gets best upgrade deals

I must be on a very low band (25 quid/month rental) but rang 150 and got
the N95 for nowt, changing to 18 month contract and 500 mins /month
(some price match plan - he didn't specify, but I was on talk 120).

It s down to total spend, tariff is not really relevant unless its OVP
Virgin.

But with Retail offering a £50 trade in it's £0 (and Customer Relations
offered it to me for £0 too)

It hasn't been delivered yet. Too good to be true usually isn't. I keep
thinking that I will end up with some other phone.

If I look at my account on the website, my plan has changed to '25 plan'
and the unlimited WAP Orange World bundle has vanished. I rather wanted
to keep that, but don't know how it would apply with 3G/HSPDA data. What
sort of data bundles can you get nowadays?

If it's your first 3G phone you'll probably get the 1Gb data bundle free
for 2 months, which will then roll into £4 for 4Mb per month if you
don't opt out of it.

Probably wouldn't hurt to call Orange and ask exactly what products are
on your account.
