Hi Mark Are you saying that you get another copy of talks for the new mobile for £50? If this is the case, I think it is a pretty good deal. It should be possible to sell the original for half price, Would that cover the cost of the new licence and transfer of the old one to the new owner?

The developers have to recoup their costs and perhaps even turn a profit to enable continued development of the product. If the licencing of the software wasn't controlled it would be made freely available by someone and they would never sell any ligitimate versions once a pirate version was on the web somewhere. There have been suggestions to tie the software licence to the sim card rather than the phone which is just as bad imho. moaning about it is not going to change any of this. If I chose to upgrade my 9210i I would expect to have to pay for the software again and they are doing you a favor by not making you pay the whole price for each change of phone you choose to have. You can also sell on the phone with the licenced copy or you would then own two copies of talks.
