I have added a new tool to this site to allow you to compare the majority of mobile phone contracts available across the internet. It was this search tool that I used and managed to get myself an 18-month contract, £60 'Instant Cashback' (well, within a month, no claim necessary), 600 Minutes, 500 Texts and completely free web browsing (you get an additional free 'bolt-on' with o2), a Nokia N96 that comes with a Car Charger, Mains Charger, USB cable for instant file transfer (no Nokia Suite software required!!!), Headphones and Controller.
If you want to discuss the contracts available, just leave a message on this blog and I'll try to reply.
Happy Mobile Contract hunting!!!
My experiences with the new Nokia N96 Mobile Phone
I have had Nokia mobile phones since the nineties. I've tried other brands during this time, but I always seem to return to a Nokia.
My first experience with the Symbian operating system on a mobile phone was the Nokia 6680. I loved it, but then I had my handset stolen and I wasn't insured.
A little while later, I got the Nokia N70, which was the upgrade to the 6680. I downloaded Opera for Symbian and started to play around with freeware I found on the web. I realised that the mobile phone was developing into a true multi-function device.
When my next contract renewal came about, I went for a Windows Smartphone, to see what I could do with that. Although it functioned fine as a mobile device, it had its limitations. No OS-specific freeware was being developed, apart from Java apps.
So, now I've changed mobile contract and taken a brand-new Nokia N96 mobile phone. And I'm impressed - let me tell you.

Ping other machines on a network or the internet
At the moment, this link isn't working, but I'm keeping it here, so that when the software is available, I can link to it. If you hear about a new link to this software that works, please tell me and I'll add my link
Thanks

About Freeware for Symbian Phones
You have a couple 0f options available to you when you buy the N96 mobile phone. Given that it has 16 gigs of disk space, you've got room to run applications. You can choose software that has been designed specifically for Symbian phones (software that ends .sis) and software that has been designed for Java-enabled phones (software that ends .jar). Some files may be zipped up (files end .zip) but don't worry - your N96 comes with an unzip facility already installed.
You can choose software that is free to use (Freeware), free to try, but has limitations until you buy (Trialware or Shareware), free to use if you view adverts (Adware) and commercial software (you pay for it from the start).
There's loads of freeware software out there that works just fine with the N96. Remember that the Symbian Smartphone operating system has been going for a number of years now and, thanks to those wonderful nerds out there who do it because they can, you have the opportunity to install and use applications that will make your life easier.

The Basics - Getting Started with your Nokia N96
The N96 phone does everything a normal mobile phone does. You can make and receive phone calls, send and receive texts and MMS messages.
If you're in a 3G area and the person you're calling has the functionality, you can make and receive video calls. I wouldn't recommend that option, however, as video calling isn't usually including in most mobile contracts. It's a bit of a fad, or something that can help if you're a doctor making a diagnosis.
The best way to send an image is to either send it by MMS or e-Mail.

It started with a Special Delivery
I ordered my N96 on the Saturday, it was processed on the Monday and I got it on the Tuesday. If anyone's interested, I took up an 02 contract, as it had everything I needed at a good price, and my boyfriend (who is on PAYG on 02) could call me for free.
I picked up my special delivery package from the royal mail sorting office that day. In the box was:
I got a contract for £35.00 per month with 600 minutes, 500 texts and the free bolt-on of unlimited browsing.
