Including the mp3 player on the 6230i which always stalled due to the (unsupported) 2 GB MMCard while playing music (2 GB = lots of mp3 files = a huge index, indexing took about 15-20 minutes whenever the phone restarted).<br /> 750 US$ is a lot of money, the same phone retails for 800 US$ in Germany, so Kenya is in fact cheaper! Well, u see, I could never afford to pay such a sum, nor would I ever feel the need to cough up such an amount for a phone, LAKINI, this time around I inquired and did it the smart way, many others also go: ordering two postpaid contracts with a monthly fee of around 15,- EUR (for both) + getting the N95 for free (free! :-). ==> 24 month contract, overall fixed costs 371,- EUR /24 = ~ 15,- EUR/month...I think that's ok, especially since the phone sells for 600,- EUR, so they are giving you 600-371 = 229 EUR just because you signed two contracts that *may* generate a revenue for them once you're using them + and the expensive tariff plan. Which I am of course not going to do - I call them "Schubladenverträge", idle contracts that were just signed to skim off the subsidization.<br /> Haiyaa, makes me think I should recategorize this post to "Kikuism". :-)</p> LOL!
