I got my V3 more than a year ago for £380 (here is my thread for that) and was surprised in the new year when they started coming down in price quite dramatically to the levels we see today. Its amazing its still such a popular phone and that gives it some credibility I guess.
I do wonder whether now is the right time to buy as I often find that just after I buy something I've been agonising over for a while it then drops it price, as though my purchase was the one they were waiting for to fully realise their return before making it more affordable to the masses... what to do... what to do?

if you really want it, and can afford it most importantly, then I say go for it!
that's what made me decide to get it to be honest with you, you only live once and I may get hit by a bus (as the saying goes) next week. at least this way i can say i have owned any held my own & if i truely hate it then its going to be sold on anyway and I'll just keep the contract for the year at the minimum allowed (£19 per month) and use the free minutes/texts!

its not to do with affordability really, I'm in the fortunate position of being able to get most that I want, but I'm sensible when parting with my money (btw, you've all heard the expression that money talks but who knows what it says?..... it says.... goodbye!  )
I'm already getting the L7 SLVR this week and sometime soon either the V3i or V3x and also the P990 as well. In fact the list of phones and other gadgets coming up soon on my list is fairly extensive and the 8800 is really just a novelty, a curiosity and something to amuse me as I wait for the other things and thats why I'm holding back.
nope, my mind is made up. defensive, you sound sensible to I'll wait for your opinion

@defensive
I look forward to your post here after the first time you drop it and scratch/dent it  I think the horror watching it slip from your hand in slow motion will probably match the intensity of your joy now lol

I held one for the brief period of about 5 minutes and it seemed alright actually!
@masseur - V3X I'm also getting once release, the L7 SLVR looks nice but doesn't interest me much to be honest. oh and sorry to say this (well I'm not really!) but the P990 has truely disapointed me with the screen size being smaller than the P910i and also the keyboard which seems to be glued to the housing not removable, although the keypad is in all fairness. I know I can't compare the P990 with the Nokia 8800 in any respect but I felt like I wanted something high end and this was to be!
I've already got my eyes on getting the W900i as well so also getting the 8800 means my K750i/W800i shall be redundant so its another good excuse to get the W900i I think I've ended up convincing myself in all this anyway!
@masseur - I'll be sure to let you and everyone else know my opinions on this phone and you can rest assured it shall not be biased and will tell every little fault with it!
p.s why do I tend to right so much without any intention to do so in the first place

same with my V3 so I'm used to that.
actually, the V3 gets quite dull after a few days use but it always brings a smile to my face when I use a cleaning cloth and see it shine again
you should see the screen on my k-jam too... its quite disgusting sometimes and I often use my fingers instead of the stylus
I guess this problem is inherent in some devices
