I need other peoples opinions.
I have received a leaflet from CPW today saying that they want to upgrade my phone. The weird thing is they only upgraded me 8 months ago at which time they gave me a W800i. I love the phone but dont actually use the contract (my contract costs me £16.99 a month) except for GPRS (because they dont charge me  ) in my SPV M2000 every so often.
They want to give me a W550i for free.
Should I take them up on the offer and start another 12 month contract or wait 4 months and cancel the contract.

@jc - Many options here mate . . . . If you want to have some instant cash  , get the W550i and then sell it . . . if you want an upgrade after 4 months, finish your present contract and avail better options by June or July 2006 - good too! That will depend on the present situation pal. But if I guess the W8 is much much better (specs and all) than the -  W550i . . .

Let's leave the contract issue for now. Do you use your W800 as Walkman or just to place calls? W550 is a very nice handset, but its memory is very limited to 256 MB and it's not upgradable. Personally, i use the phone as my walkman with 1 GB MS, which is full of music. So for me 256 mb is not enough. On the other side is camera. 2 mp on W800 vs. 1.3 mp in W550.
I would stay with W800i.

I would more likely sell the w550i as i use the camera on my w800i a lot and i have a 1gb card full of music.

@jc - Going by how much the P990 will sell on it's initial launch, I presume that you will still add some 'little' cash with the purchase
