Can't honestly say I'm all that excited about it. :-\
Clive:
Me neither! I've been thinking about a smartphone for the past year but I'm still quite happy with my Tesco phone which is quite simple. Trouble is I'd be afraid to take a smartphone abroad because they download so much data which you don't want but have to pay for. Even my son keeps his switched off when he goes abroad.
Simon:
You can 'tame' them by turning off mobile data when abroad (or, anywhere), but I've heard that using the internet on one while 'roaming', will cost an arm and a leg. I remember Jeremy Vine coming back off holiday, and complaining that it had cost him £11 to watch a short clip on YouTube, while abroad.
Clive:
My son always buys a local cheap pay as you go local phone when he goes abroad and gives it away before he gets on the plane home.
Simon:
Not a bad idea, I guess.
