It seems that BT is hell bent on trying to flog you all the frills while everyone else is offering the Easyjet
solution. Basically, the telecoms operator has launched a new addition
to its Total Broadband package that will let you surf the interweb and make calls anywhere but perhaps not strictly paradise).
It has unveiled its new BT Total Broadband Anywhere which, according to the specs we've been given, comes with a free internet-enabled smartphone - the BT ToGo
- which it reckons is worth 150 English pounds (who are we to argue
over that figure, although we do have questions over that!) An extra
fiver a month on top of yourBT Total Broadband Option 3 will get you this shiny new phone, which is an HTC
S620. It runs Windows Mobile but is re-skinned with a new interface
(apparently the normal Windows Mobile interface scares the horses).
You
can also upgrade the package if, like everyone else, use the phone a
lot more than want is offered in the basic package. Included in the
basic package is anHTC S620 (the one with the tiny keys underneath the screen). For an extra £30 up front you can upgrade to the HTC
S710 (which has a slidey-out keyboard). Both phones have Wi-FI access
so can make cheap wireless calls in range of a wireless access point (a
BT Openzone one). Although we'd have liked the package better if it
came with a Blackberry or even an iPhone. |
