Contract, you'll be able to get an Android phone for 25 quid per month.

@liq: i find working at home a perpetual distraction. too many comforts and luxuries. something about the atmosphere and ambience of my hogwarts-style library inspires... scholarly thought. it's like you get yourself into the performative role of being a serious student and then you think, research and write in that mode far easier. at home, im just too relaxed. you should try it, even if you think it's a pointless exercise.
It's just that at home I have:

- My PC:
    - With all my documents I could ever want/need for doing work - loads of pdf's and stuff
    - Massive widescreen for comparing two documents
    - Also have my laptop, if I wanted another screen for whatever reason
    - My printer (printing at the library costs money)
    - Fast, reliable internet
- All my lecture notes
- All my textbooks within arms reach
- Food, toilet, drink whenever I want it
- Large/comfortable desk & chair
- I can play loud music


But yeah, maybe I will try it one day

all those luxuries can become distractions and concentration-breakers as soon as they are considered assets, liq.

there's something ascetic and pure about spending 6 hours in a library with nothing but your notebook, some water and the shelves.

I find I get too distracted at home, however in the library if someone sees me on facebook they might ask to use the computer if I'm not using it for work etc. It forces me to do work, plus it's a relaxed quiet atmosphere.

I wouldn't say that about all of them. But you definitely have a point.

I think the type of work we do is substantially different, so maybe that's why we differ slightly in opinions about working at home / at the library.

when it comes to studying, i always thought that i wouldnt be able to do it at home to the same standard as the study halls and stuff we hd at 6th form, but when i was studying earlier in the year for my january exams, i found i could easily work for about 8+ hours a day with only 1 hour or so break in the middle, with nothing distracting me

I can do it either way

For a 'normal' bitch of work i can do it in my room, with nice music and strong tea and cigarettes. but once it starts piling up theres nothing like hiding away in the library and just steamrolling through it all.

Huh, so when you sign a contract you can also pay monthly for the phone (in addition to the plan)?

Depends how much your contract is per month and how much your phone costs.

For example, I paid an extra £30 to get a different handset when I signed up for my contract. I seem to recall that when the first iPhone contracts came out, only some plans would get you a free handset.

With most pay monthly phone contracts over here, they'll include a free phone. However you can't expect to pay £15/month and get a free iPhone etc

For example I pay £25/month and they gave me a free Nokia 5800, after my 18month contract is over I can upgrade my phone for free and renew the contract for another 18 months.

I think you have to pay around £35-40 a month for a free iPhone.

ken, the way iphones are priced out here... you either buy the handset outright and pay-as-you-go, or contractually...

contract-pricing is pretty much all the same. you pay an initial payment on the handset and then a monthly-rental fee that is relative in cost and benefit to the original handset payment, i.e. £200 for iphone and then package at £25/month, or £250 for iphone and then package at £15/month. the figures are probably way off because i dont have a clue, i bought my 3GS outright and just top-up when i need credit.
