    Hey,

    Been with Meteor Bill pay for 2 years and went to upgrade to the new Samsumg Tocca, only to be told that its only available for new connections. Was told that it'd only be available for upgrade in a couple of months. Very annoying.

    Is this something Meteor and all operators do with new phones?
    I forgot to ask at the time but if I was to pay the price a new customer would pay would they give me the phone?

    Any ideas?

    Go to a different Meteor store or go to Carphone Warehouse. I got this phone on upgrade from Meteor and had no problems.

    I was thinking as much. I'll try another store later in week.
    Thanks.

    Off topic, ;) but yes it is good. Texting takes some getting used to. You have to use your index finger for accurate texting instead of your thumbs. And I wish it had Wifi. Apparently Samsung are bringing out a newer model called the Omnia, which does have Wifi. If I'd known, I'd probably have waited. Also, be prepared to buy new headphones. The included headphones are terrible.

    Internet is reasonably good - but nowhere near as good as that on the iPod Touch (and I imagine on the iPhone).

    But the screen is great, I love the widgets, and the camera is really good. All in all I'm happy with my purchase.
