Not much point, the phone is identical apart from a smaller lens cover on the back and a new photo fix function.

Im really trying to avoid an 18 month contract when I call the upgrade. I'll just argue with o2 retentions until I get a decent deal. My other half gets 500mins and 100txts for £20 and thats on a 12month contract. I pay £35 for that!

I noticed that orange are now doing 24 month contracts!!

I think the iPhone is also has a 24 months contract requirement in the US. Although I believe it's not a first over there.

Contracts over there are a lot different.

You don't really get free minutes and texts like we do, but you do get things like free evening/weekend calls, free calls to other on the same network etc. Texting isn't a big deal either. Although Push to Talk is quite big, never experienced it here.

Phones generally aren't as good, and are more expensive. I think there might even be some analogue sets still around.

I noticed that the hadnsets over there dont seem as 'up to date' in general as we have over here.

Theres not a chance i would sign a 24 month contract. If you haggle, its not too difficult to get a good deal.

i got a k810i last week, im not a fan of the buttons, the 'c' button is a bit stiff but the keys arnt really much of a problem, they are not as responsive as perhaps id like though, for example if im txting quickly i tend to have to slow down a bit or the phone misses letters on the whole though yeah, its just the same as a k800i, which isnt a bad thing really the photo fix is pretty good and is surprisingly good at removing red eye. i cant see it lasting the 18 months im contracted for tho it does feel sturdy and tough

It's thinner than the K800i. In terms of functions, the one thing I know it adds is PhotoFix. I am returning my upgrade to Orange (it wasn't the phone that bugged me, but a misunderstanding regarding what I was getting as part of my upgrade contract wise).
