I had the intention of getting a Blackberry 8700 after reading Dan Appelquist posting about the admin functions. Once there in the store I changed my mind when I saw the Pearl or Blackberry 8100. I went home and got straight onto the phone with O2 and bitched about getting an early upgrade, they were only too happy to comply. I have been with O2 for a few years now and was first attracted to them by the calming effect of their brand, after all who wants to have orange splattered all over your phone, I don’t like the brand colour and found their customer service less than informed (I hear they have got much better since). O2 are like any other network provider in the UK, they provide a network and a series of very standard phones with not much thought given to the Smartphone market. And like all other network carriers in the UK they are miles behind in getting anything new. Their customer service is good and they know hwo to put up a fight when trying to upsell you or when I try and downsell them. I have stayed with them for the past few years and probably will move when something better comes up, eventually.
