Originally posted by germcevoy:I'm not sure if mobile networks operate in the same way in Spain but I will get the new handset for free if I renew my service plan with them so i'll not really be out of pocket.

They only give you hansets for free if you switch companies (from Orange to Vodafone, per example), or if you have accumulated lots and lots of points (you get points from each call, the more you call the more points you get) in your company... Anyway, people here doesn't switch companies very often because of the continuance clauses (does that make sense? I mean the time you're "obligued" to stay with a company - if you leave before you have to pay X €), which are usually of 18 months...
I don't like iPhones that much either but I reckon they're powerful tools. I have grown with a Nokia in my pocket all the time, I never have had other phones (a Motorola and a Samsung, both for just a few weeks), so I'm a Nokia fan... but if I had to change, I would choose iPhone. Just the customer service is worth it
