Thinking of buying a mobile phone

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a mobile phone for using betfair. I've never had a
mobile before so know nothing about them. Could anyone give any
recommendations?

Would the Sony Ericsson K750i Mobile Phone do?

Green button to make call, red button to end call.

Great, the only person who's bothered to answer is a moron.

Hello???? Anyone out there who could answer my question??

I would also like to know a fair few things about any Internet connection
i.e the price; whether one gets charged by what one downloads or per minute
connected; whether you can pay a monthly sum for unlimited access . . .all
sorts of questions!

I'm not really bothered about making phone calls to people, nor receiving
them -- I'm only interested in using the Internet (there's a reason why I've
never had a mobile)

Much appreciated if anyone can be bothered to answer.

Thanks.

At the moment, you're giving no indication of how much you're willing
to pay or how much you're planning to use the service. You'll probably
get more sense out of the group if you do a bit of background research
first and approach with some more detailed questions - I'd recommend as
a starting point checking out the price plans on the five major mobile
phone operators' websites ( www.t-mobile.co.uk www.orange.co.uk
www.three.co.uk www.vodafone.co.uk and www.o2.co.uk ).

T-Mobile's Web-And-Walk unlimited Internet tarriff might be worthwhile
- it all depends on /how much/ you're planning to use the net on the
move. Similarly, I have no idea what the Betfair mobile interface is
like - the SonyEricsson K750 is definitely a phone more than it's a
mobile computer, so will only be suited to fairly basic surfing.

If you genuinely don't care about phone use, something like the
T-Mobile XDA Vario might be a good bet - it's effectively a handheld
computer. It's also just been superseded by the Vario II, which
addresses the Vario's main weakness of being rubbish at actual
telephone calls, so you might be able to pick it up quite cheaply.
