Ok here is the situation people. I bought an O2 N95 but use it with my Orange sim. Now as most people know, Orange's data packages are TERRIBLE meaning im spending a too much on data and i cant really use the internet beast to its full potential.

I would like a -T-Mobile version with Web'N'Walk but do i sell my sim-free O2 N95 to pay off my Orange contract? Although i have no idea how much i would get for it?

But is the -T-Mobile version worth it? Are there any known issues? Does it have -T-Mobile theme on it? lol.

I really need to know if its worth it. I loath Orange at the moment. Lack of 3G in my area, completely rubbish data packages and the terrible call quality just make me regret coming back to them!

I have the T-moble version , it actually has the T-mobile firmware on it , but the only way you'd know is the the two Web & Walk shortcuts - one is assigned to the right softkey , and the other is a shortcut on the active standby icon bar - so both are "losable" easily , no T-mobile theme , and the only branding is on the battery cover (unbranded ones on ebay £5) - there is no flash screen , nothing !

You could sell your N95 on ebay , I sold mine for £300 inc postage as I wanted a quick sale , but I have seen them go for less , and I have seen them go for more ! - not sure how far this would go to pay off your o2 contract - you may be able to get more by biding you time
For me , It was the right thiing to do , the N95 I sold suffered from the loose slider thing , whereas the t-mobile one I bought is as tight as it should be :D .... and to my surprise , I prefer the deep plum colour to the Graphite of the one I sold , so I was pretty happy

once you get your bookmarks in place , browsing is great in landscape , only trouble it you need to switch to input data - but for general browsing I was surprised how little I needed to touch the keyboard !
