So £27.50 a month each then, below average.

Everyday 50 means just that, the standard tarriff is 50p per day, so a
30 day month costs £15. However the avearge bill is around £20-25.
Just to update, Orange rang today and confirmed the party line, no
subsidy, pay £150 or go without. Bear in mind about 2 years ago we had
the same argument and ended up with a free upgrade!! My wife has
re-requested a PAC code.
Looks as if she will be off to Vodafone. The N73 will cost £50, but the
rental is half price for 6 months, more than of-setting that, plus she
will get the evening 'pay for 3 mins get 59' deal ADND a lot bettr coverage!

They said the same in the US.

Did they? I never heard that. In the US it would be regarded as a
remarkable handset. It's already beaten in terms of spec by several
models.
