Well Peter, admittedly it is a few months since I searched for the N82 on 
contract, but did see it offered by an independent seller under contract with 
Virgin for example, but you know how it is in the wonderful world of mobiles, 
nothing stays the same for very long!! -

  I was not restricting my searches to the major providers and because I am not 
particularly confident in my internet searching thoroughness I asked my 
daughter to have a look as well.

  Thanks for your comments on the braille billing. This is something I would 
pursue if I decide to take the Orange contract.

    Peter - Firstly, when I had an Orange contract, I got my bills in Braille 
for no extra charge. Secondly, If you were to buy your phone from an online 
seller rather than the major cell providers, you might find they will offer a 
contract on something other than Orange, but if you just look at the website 
for say O2, T-Mobile etc, you'll not find them offering it on contract! -

      Hello

      Have been trying to find outlets for either buying or obtaining on 
contract the N82 with limited success. I understand that the in built GPS 
receiver works well and so it would be a good choice to use with Wayfinder 
Access.

      I havve only found Orange who provide it on contract and when I asked 
about braille bills they said they charge £3 per bill whereas print billes are 
charged at £1.50.

      I am confused as to whether the lack of availability is because it is an 
old phone or a new phone. It was launched in Nov 2008 according to an article I 
found.

      Has anybody any comments about the Orange customer service etc. 
Furthermore  does anybody know of other providers who offer the N82 on contract?

      Many thanks.

      Peter Bentley
