and i took this one too

The wife was saying that she'd seen a lovely Moon-bow last
night, while walking down from the bus-stop through "Mugger's Alley". I
think she'll be wanting to upgrade her phone for a camera phone before
too much longer.
Hmm, have to think about the implications of that. I'm not
terribly happy with the size or handling of my camera phone, but the
contract doesn't complete until May or so.

Contracts are a bad idea. If I nick your phone I can make huge
quantities of calls at your expense.

*If* you manage to get hold of my phone *without* me knowing it.
Which is why it lives in my shirt pocket (the wife is on PAYG, but
keeps her phone in her rucksac. Consequently, she needs to know how to
pick up her voice mail. But her liability is limited to the current
balance on the phone.)
Otherside of the coin is - if I need to make a £300 phone call
from an oil rig in rural Azerbaidjan, without pre-planning, I can. (NB
: locally-registered mobile phones in Azerbaidjan couldn't, at that
time, call outside the country without pre-registration with the
government authorities. Which isn't hassle that's worth the effort.

Elaborate on "isn't that good".

When working with electronics, my best advice is to do whatever it takes to prevent the smoke from leaking out of the components. Electronic parts require the smoke to stay inside to function correctly!

Mine was stolen in France during the night. I knew about it a few
hours later in the morning, but it took me all day to get it
cancelled. This is because O2 (BT subsidiary, hence pile of con
artists) supplied me with a premium rate number to call to report a
stolen phone. It is impossible to call a UK premium number from
abroad. I had to call someone here to get them to cancel it for me.
Kinda difficult as they started asking them to prove they were me.

I'd just call the phone company first and place £300 ion it from my
credit card.

Your credit card company accepts telephone instructions from
land lines in central Asian countries? Who are they?, so that I can
avoid them.

You need only two tools in life. WD-40 and duck tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.
If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
