Not moving this time!

Vodafone even tried it on with me.  Asking me if I wanted the N95 8GB.  I
already have an 8GB card in the N95.

Then they offered me another 12 month contract with 9 months at half price.

Slightly tempting but, I am a traditionalist who believes that if I am going
to have another 12/18/24 month contract, I should also have a decent phone
as in "Upgrade"!

Indeed, I agree, all they are worried about is making money and changing the
goods so that the vast majority of sheep will follow and move to the new
product.
