Oh my jolly goodnight!!! I upgraded my mobile phone package yesterday and my new handset was sat on my desk at work awaiting my arrival this morning even though I was quoted a delivery ETA of 3 – 5 working days.

I have gone for Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 smartphone. For £21.50 per month I have unlimited text messages, 250 O2-O2 minutes, 200 cross network & landline minutes and 500MB data.

GalaxyAce2_04_Press-580-100

It has a fast Dual Core 800MHz processor, 4GB embedded memory. Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread platform, a 5mpxl camera and numerous and fabulous applications I can download for free like Flickr, Facebook and LJ.

The LJ app should make it easier for posting on here and the Flickr app will allow me to post directly my mobile phone photos.

Also available is a Adobe PDF reader and a Kindle app so I can download books so I don’t have to buy a Kobo, Kindle or a nook now. Oh I know just whose books I can download now. YAY Happy Dance. ***DO DO DO DO, DO DO DO DO, DO DO DO DO, DO DO.***

No sorry I don’t have a picture of me doing my happy dance

To tell you the truth I am absolutely terrified with handling this new phone, I always am, usually thinking that I have made a mistake, but I have 14 days in which to make my final decision.

Considering my previous contract was £30.00 per month and paid in advance, the adjustments will be made on my next bill so I might not even have to pay anything for the first month.

Tre at work upgraded yesterday too going for a Samsung Galaxy SII instead for basically a similar package to me but from a different network. She was given a delivery ETA of 24 hours. So Tre was jumping around the office amused that the possibility that her phone would arrive first.

As of 13.15 this afternoon Tre’s new phone still has not been delivered, the network supplier addressed the parcel incorrectly and it is not likely to be delivered until tomorrow.

Be careful downloading APPS! There are some hooky copies of popular ones such as Angry Birds that are a scam.

If any game/app asks you to 'click here' to continue while playing the game, then be suspicious as it might be a hooky one that sends a premium rate text and response - my daughter (or rather ME as I pay the bill!) - got stung for £60 in premium text messages before it hit the 'ceiling' on her bill and Virgin stopped any more going through!

I plan to thank you and I will bear your warnings in mind. I already have Twitter, Facebook, Livejournal, Flickr Adobe reader and Goodreads and the only game app I have is from facebook The apps I have are through the google shop app which is the phone default app locator
