    See if you can get a "hands on" demo, I found the handset very flimsy and cheap
    Isn't it based on one of the current HTC models?
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

      I did one - I'm VERY impressed with it (they even fixed the first bug they found within the day, which I liked!)

      I saw a google car doing the steeetview maps the other day, so that might be coming soon, too

        I love my new phone - although I have managed to lock the SIM card already because I got the default PIN wrong three times.

        Tis the dogs danglies, IMHO.

          iPhone all the way for me!


          Great browser!
          Maps/GPS is the best!
          iPod is as iPod does

          Only downsides are no cut&paste and battery life is not even good enough for Jack Bauer if you do anything apart from call/text people (e.g. play games, listen to music, watch videos, browse wirelessly).

            So quite a few donwsides then. How are the maps/GPS any better than google maps/gps that other phones run?

              The mobile networks must be getting really desperate - that's quite an incentive.

              Just been emailed the deal, anyone used Excell Communications before?

                I've just moved from three after being with them for 5 years. As soon as I can move my mobile broadband from them, I will do as well.

                There's a reason why they are so cheap.

                  Ok thanks.

                  Afterthought, was that because of 3's coverage?

                    Interesting, and indeed comprehensive history and review of SmartPhones from Stephen Fry:

                    Ok just realised it's quite an old post too.

                      For mobile phone, the coverage has always been good (OK at my parents, but they live in the countryside). The internet access has always been poor, though.

                      In terms of customer service, I've always found three a nightmare to deal with, bordering on rude. If you need anything from customer services, then you're pretty stuffed.
