Like Dym I've got a W880i now and although the camera isn't as good as the K800i I got it to replace (2mp and no flash) plus it doesn't have a radio but in every other way it is great.
The Motorola looks quite sleek but I must admit I'm still a bit wary of them and their reliability - says me having just ruined 4 SE phones in a row.

I got the S500i and then discovered that apparantly SE were using a dye for the keypad that rendered it liable to cracking but they were supposed to have fixed that after week 31. My phone was week 25 so when it cracked I returned it for a new one, no problem I thought, next phone was week 32 and that just didn't work properly because keys * and # wouldn't respond. Replacement 3 was week 32 also and that cracked even more quickly than the first one so I changed to a W580i which shouldn't have had the same problems but was basically the same phone, guess what, keypad cracked again.
By this point I was getting a bit hacked off and although CPW were reasonably helpful they kept saying I was the only person in Dundee to have this problem, it might be true but it doesn't help me any when it is a known issue. I had to 'upgrade' my contract to an 18 month one rather than the 12 I'd specially selected (I get bored of phones pretty quickly) and got a W880i, in no small measure because it had an aluminium face and solid keys. Sorry for the offtopic Pete.

Ahh I heard about that problem with the S500i, that sucks
I always go for 12 months too as I get bored of them easily so I understand how annoying it is to have to go 18 months! I've managed to stay on a 12 month contract this year but i'm sure next year I won't have a choice.

It'll be 24 months before you know it. I suspect the iPhone might go this way.

If it goes 24 months I doubt it would be worth my while.
Hopefully they'll just stick 24 month contracts on the iphone and similar.

The talking phone is brilliant. I taught it the word boobies, it never knew it before me and it knew how to pronounce it. Its got a posh accent too which makes it even funnier.

Teach it to say "take me up the arse, big boy" in a posh accent then I'll be impressed

If memory serves it isn't uncommon in Canada already to have 3 year contracts although I think you get a certain amount of 'swaps' in that time depending on your monthly spend.
