My Vodafone contract is coming to an end. A new phone is also required. 
Apart from calls and texts, the only requirement is to be able to use it 
very occasionally, if ever, should I need to use ssh to restart a server 
in an emergency.

I cam get a Nokia e51 should I renew (they call it upgrade???) where I 
am, for the same minutes/texts deal at reduced cost.

Now I've been told I'll need a 'doze box to download anything from any 
Nokia phone, but the person who said that thinks they run on 'doze. I 
note the e51 runs on Symbian OS. Can any of you enlighten me, please? 
And if a Nokia is not an option, would someone please suggest 
alternatives I could consider, and which network provider it comes with?

Many TsIA.

Mike
