£26 gets me, per month:
Nokia Lumia 800 (I have the blue one. No-one has ever, on their death bed, said "Gee willikers, I sure am glad I didn't have that blue phone.")
600 minutes (sounds not much, but remember: we don't pay for incoming calls)
Unlimited texts
1GB internet
BT Openzone wifi access
Or, in other words, my phone costs me, per month, 10 pints in my local.
