You're right, that is very cheap for the spec.

Nice! Is it brand new or second hand, and how much did you pay?

It's a one week old, unwanted gift. I saved $115 on the new price.
You'll know I've picked it up when my Avatar changes...[ This Message was edited by: carkitter on 2009-08-26 09:47 ]
I paid $300 instead of $406 -$415 at EI.
I was actually going to get a W980 for $339 at EI but when I saw this sitting at $156 on TradeMe and the seller said the reserve was 300 bucks, I though I'd better grab it!

The wifi connects fine but surfing is a lot more cumbersome than the iPhone unsurprisingly.
I'm having to get used to buttons all over again; I'm not sure I want to.  Multitouch is definitely the way  and every other manufacturer should go.
The iPhone will remain my main phone but I wanted to have something with which to stay in touch with where SE are at.
I'm looking forward to testing out the camera tomorrow.

I can't handle juggling two phones and taking them with me everywhere. I know that from when I was running a Telecom and a Vodafone. Those were annoying times, but I'm sure you can handle it. It's nice getting new gadgets anyway!
I look forward to your impressions on the camera. I've heard good things about SE's 3mp non-AF cams.

1200+ words written about the G705 so far and I'm only about halfway there...
Should be up by next weekend.

Your 2 Degrees SIM card? Really? That took ages; maybe Rhys sent it via his mate, the academic sheep, all the way from 'actual' Cambridge...

Yeah, weird thing was that it arrived inside my brother's torn open Auckland University information envelope. So NZ Post screwed something up bigtime by the looks of things.
Haven't opened it yet cause I've been busy, but I'll trial their service tomorrow probably.

@yea g
Got any tips on how to get my G705 browser to work with a wifi network?
The wifi connects fine but both browsers (I also downloaded Opera mini 4.2) still try to connect via 3G.
