Umm, interesting. So is JM still allowed to indulge such things, having so comprhensively sold what might pass as his 'sole'? Well, given one comment he made on the PC audio list, then maybe the emphasis is on GSM phones, rather than the US splendid isolationist system. Still, I wonder no one has started a Uk, or Europe focused mobile list, given how much people are spending on phones and using them.

Though not needing to go the Oasis mobile route myself, I know a bloke I meet up with ocasionally who's pretty well total and gets on well with the Oasis, but he's simply not into technology in a big way, but just wants it to make phone calls.He's reported no trouble with it so far. Just two things would make it a better choice than it is. A screen, and a lowering of the price. Must say though that mobiles which have after all morphed into something more akin to a personal assistant, have left me rather cold and uninthusiastic. Sometimes I wonder if there is a list devoted to them and their accessability as they sure do take up a lot of space here!

The phone is essentially only useful for calls and text messaging. It has some fancy features like ringing tones plus the essential date/time and phone book features. It is a robust and reliable mobile. I use a Vodafone Pay-as-you-go tarriff and find buying voice packs at £25 for 200 mins the best value. Also, from time-to-time, I top up the calling credit for texts etc and £25 worth goes a long way in my case. HTH.
