In my experience, virtually all of the crashes I've experienced on Symbian phones are not directly the result of Symbian OS. Almost without exception, all the bugs are in the software produced by the phone manufacturers themselves. However, the bit which Symbian doesn't like to admit is that producing Symbian phone software is so difficult that it's virtually impossible not to admit bugs. Yes, there's good memory management; yes, it's hard to overflow buffers; but there are lots of complexities in integrating a device which has such a complex multitasking scheme and so many different software providers.

For the amount I use my phone, I just can't justify £500+ a year on a contract. I was planning to, but I think I’m more likely to stick with my PAYG and maybe get an iPod Touch instead.

At the moment I'm paying £35 plus £7.50 for 3meg of data a month. So O2 at £35 and unlimited data looks really good. The 3G issue I'm not too bothered with mainly because there is no 3G in Ely and when I have used it frankly it doesn't seem much faster than GPRS. I want it for the wireless access which will be more useful than the 3G imho. I just wish the camera had more res and that might be the thing that stops me rushing to get it.
