The pricing of the contract is very VERY tempting ....

looks good enough, any horror stories?

Just got one yesterday,

The phone is ok i guess, i just got it to use the SIM in my Z600. (and that didn't work BTW) Grr...

There's a few things i'd like to mention, there's NO keylock, NO alarm,

Downloading ringtones and pictures is a messy business.

And it's H E A V Y ! 155 grams.

I played with one in CPW in Oxford street just before Christmas and it was very tempting just to have a play. It was being offered free on a 35 pound/month contract. A clueless girl there demo'd watch a soccer match highlight and it was fairly impressive to watch.

155g is about the same as the P900 weight btw and with respect, is 155g really a problem compared with 90 odd grams of the T610? certainly I don't feel my arm tiring while holding the P900 and it does sit in my top shirt pocket quite happily without me getting the feeling of the left side of my shirt being dragged down

For the deal if you want a 3G phone then its pretty good, but I am still waiting for more competition and therefore better prices before venturing into the 3G market

edit: here a pic of it btw

Well.. if 90g-155g aint a problem then 155g-220g would be ok to.. yes ? and so on.

There's a limit to what one can take, and i for one think 155 is WAY to much

I had the idea to use the SIM in my Z600, but...

Yes, i DID read the manual, and there's nothing about the keylock in it

Also, what about recurring alarms, like SE. *sighs* this is turning out to be so NOT worth the trouble.

Did i mention the BATTERY ???

fully charged overnight, turned it on at 7.30 this morning, now after 4 !!!!!!! minutes of talk, 2 photos taken and 5 minutes of playing a silly game it's warning for low Battery. 10 bleeding hours ! that has got to be a new world LOW.
