I've got a TT 1XL but am changing my phone and wondered if these are worth it and if so any recommendations please? It might be useful from time to time but if it is a gimmick and doesn't work very well it isn't worth the bother. I believe I can load my TT onto the phone. Is this right?

France being still in the dark ages, I went to Orange to see about a new contract. They offered me a contract but as an existing client expect me to pay full price for a new phone unless I change my number. Go next door to SFR and lo and behold I've got the latest Nokia N95 8GB for £25 whereas with Orange they wanted £500. Oh, and I've kept the same number too!

Now the phone. Satnav, google earth, office, windows, MP3 and -er - rather complicated but I've managed to sort most things out, downloading from my computer my email addresses etc. and finding that all I have to do is click on a name and the satnav picks up the address. Also, wherever I am in the world the phone downloads automatically the maps for the country. I now need a car kit which I'll have to buy shortly. Only the beginning, but this computer (not a phone really) seems to be the future. All tips welcome!
