Will also be available from other sources  of course.  I was expecting it to be dearer than this.

It'll give time for the reviews to propagate.  :)

It looks great, but Symbian used to be like data mining to get to each app via a pass the parcel folder system, hope that's changed. I'll see what the real world reviews are like as Justina will need a new phone by then, but sensibly she always just goes for phones that are phones  ;)

Be aware this phone says unlocked so they may have broken open the box to unlock it.

That's not always the case.  Some phones are OEM, I believe, so they wouldn't have been locked in the first place.

I'll be waiting for some reviews before considering this.  I seem to be getting on quite nicely with my HTC HD2 at the moment, and there's also a BlackBerry OS update imminent.  Choices, choices...  ;D
