    Not seen one close up but it looks superb, very James Bondish.

    Looks Alright But A Ripoff

    There's so much you cannot do with it, that they could have made it do. The reason for this is so they can make a newer model within the next year and milk the public some more. Some of the problems are........

    Having to be on O2.
    Cannot remove the battery from the phone.
    Cannot send a message to more than one person at once.
    Cannot send picture messages.
    Hardly got any memory.

    No, but they are nice and other phone manufacturers could do with taking a few hints. It looks good, the interface is really nice, the zoom in/out, web browsing are all great. But it is obviously lacking some features that are quite common from other phones.</p>

    Add its size, its just too big and the price, o2 only, then there is no chance of me getting one from over here.
    </p>

    A few people at work have got them from america, &pound;240 quid, no contract, thats only way I would get one. But obviously you have to be careful of the upgrades turning it into a lovely expensive paper weight.</p>

    On a side note, paper weights, what were they all about? Do you still get them?</p>

    Don't think it's worth £900....

    Purchase price £269.99

    18 Month Contract with o2 @ £35 (no cheaper).

    Total: £899.99.

    There is no other option for tariff etc.
