So I had the Sony Ericsson k810i, which is a great phone by the way- it lasted me two years, but it had had it's fair deal of handling/falling and sooner or later, almost every phone plainly... dies.
After two months of having to work with a phone which was not so keen on working itself, I finally persuaded my parents to let me get another contract on their name (yes I have two, one which they pay- which costs R50 a month (less than $10) and then the one I'm
paying for is R80 (around $10 a month).
I'm not really into the whole contract thing... don't have the money to pay for it, thus cheap contracts + great phone, happy Jaco :) I'm all about the phone ;)
Oh... I know this phone was released a year ago, but it's a new release in South Africa... for plain, suckish economical reasons...
New phone is: LG KP500 ! :D

Over all I think this phone is really really really great!
My favorite feature would be the document viewer (reading and stuff on the go)
(I heard somewhere that you can download a add-on that allows you to edit the word documents with your KP500 as well, so it would sort of be like Windows Mobile, but I'm not sure if this is fact or speculation.)
Internet speed is AMAZINGLY fast (for a phone)
screen is huge... graphics are great... 3mp camera is not too bad
All in all, I think job well done from LG, they have made my day :)
