You can of course run your own firmware at your own risk (i.e. cyanogenmod). Of course it has GPS. Up not until a while ago, it probably was the best-spec phone you could get... :) (IMHO, and including Apple's white bricks) > Any recommended calling plan (remember, the 054 number probably limits me > to Orange)?

You can go to whichever company you want, as long as your line is not a pre-paid one (and if it is, you can convert it to a non pre-paid one for last one time fee for your current provider, and then port your number to a cheaper/better provider). The cheap ones nowdays are Golan, Hot Mobile, YouPhone and Rami Levi, all depending on your usage patterns. (e.g. if you SMS a lot but talk a little, Golan is probably best. If you talk a lot, SMS a little, Hot would be cheaper. And if you do both [or use tons of 3G], one of the 'unlimited' offers of any one of them... would be better). HTH, -- Shimi
