Gadget Girl Strickes Again!!

Today my goal was to upgrade my phone and get as much free as I could - i.e. I'm a cheap!

So off I toddle to the CarPhoneWarehouse.

Normally they give £20 for "Trading in" your old phone, charger and manual. This month it's £40. As a loyal T-Mobile customer I get a phone up to £100 free.
So I got the Nokia 6230 with Mp3 Player and DAB Radio and camera for free and the chap gave me the bluetooth adaptor for the phone (thats £50 instead of £40). He then goes on to try and flog me TalkTalk which is there cheap landline phone service. After a while he says I can have free accessories worth £20 so I agree knowing I will cancel tonight! So he says he will get me a free facia and cover which I agree to .... but the cover was £14 and the cover was £20!
So I got the lot for free! Very nice thank you!!

So I have installed the bluetooth at work and uploaded 2 songs and will test out the MP3 player at the gym tonight! Sorted!

Not fair I want a new mobile phone plus lots of gadgets for free. Not that I ever use mine often. I buy about £10 of credit every couple of months.

I don't buy phone gadgets Rob! I get them free, I buy running gadgets!!
I hardly use my ohone either but it's a security blanket. I won't go for a run without my phone (apart from club runs) incase I need to call someone (like I injury myself etc) so having one that plays me music too is cool!

We have 3 PC's in the house Laura - I graduated with a Computing degree last year, I work in IT adn live on the Internet. Does that count???
I've never got into Palms though, never far enough away from a PC to need one!!
Oh and Free is good!My last phone cost me £9 for a cover! Got that free this time! Hubby wasn't impressed though, just doesn't understand! I may be tempted to buy some more memory as it only comes with a 32mb memory card which is about 8-10 songs so I may get 128Mb card, now if I had thought I should have got that instead of a fascia - damn!

We're a 3 PC Household (4 if you count the 166 in the loft). Did have a Palm but gave up on it.

Now I just want a more powerful PC - 450 is too slow now.
