Hi all

Getting married on October 8th - hooray! - to Nicole (she's lovely).

We are honeymooning in Singapore and then onto Bali. Due to the need to be intouch with work, I need a phone that will work out there. I have to replace my current phone anyway and was thinking of getting the SPV 500 on Orange when it comes out - BUT this is tri-band. Will it work out there or do I need a quad band phone?

If it won't work can anyone suggest a really cheap quad band phone that I can use for the trip and then discard after?

P.S very excited about it (....the spv500, that is...honeymoon should be good as well).

All the best with your wedding!!!

Hope it's a sunny day!

Most modern motorolas are quadband, like the V600 or V620

Although isnt Bali tri? Im not sure. [addsig]

as a very regular traveller through singapore and occassional to Bali I can tell you that you will have no problem using any phone you currently have and there is no need to buy a new phone, as much as you might want the SPV

Congratulations. A normal 900/1800 dualband phone can fully meet your needs there.

Congratulations... but you need a phone to be in touch with work, during your honeymoon?

Wow!!! Either you are the boss or the boss is an a-hole! hahahaha!

Don't forget to leave the charger for the phone.... at home...........

Fortunately, (and unfortunatley on many occassions), I am the boss.

-Promised Nicole that I wouldn't take the laptop (which is a big deal for me as have never gone away before without being properly in touch with the office). Fortunately, she has no idea that mobiles now can do a lot of the work of pc's!

-So, almost certain that my next phone will be the Treo 650 ...as its the only small handset that supports Word, Excel and Powerpoint + supports Line 2 (which I definitely need). Gutted that the SPV M500 doesn't. ....unless, any of you guys have any other suggestions?!
