I agree 100% Ian. It's time that we take a stand on this sort of "rip off"
treatment.

On the other hand, Mark, if you upgrade with Voda they give you the talks if you need it for nowt. I've always said that this is much the most sensible route. Big companies like the providers can write the comparatively small trade price cost of the software off against their corporate social Responsibility budgets. In that way everyone's well served. The licensing argument may be fair enough, but fifty quid's a heck of a lot to pay for an email with a number in it.

peter,
This subject has gone round the houses time and time again in the three years i have had talks on my 9210i.
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.
