Yeh could be right, although they don't sound too certain there! Considering O2 have sealed exclusivity for the Palm Pre, there's no loyalty to keeping the iPhone as their top of the range smartphone.

What's clear is Orange don't seem to have any form of exclusivity deal with this, and O2 Germany have this model so people are assuming O2 UK will pick it up too. But assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups as they say so i guess as @masseur said 'watch this space!'

Hmm I don't think that video told me anything of what the phone can do...

But it did put some pretty disturbing pictures of weird people dancing and men with crazy mustaches into my head. So that's ok right?

Oddly enough I was wondering what happened to this. I thought it was due for an official release today, but it's disappeared from the Coming Soon section and isn't in either the Monthly or PAYG sections either. Perhaps it's due any minute then!??

I hope that Tosh have decent Firmware support because anyone buying this from Orange will be desperate to get rid of the Orange firmware if the i8910 is anything to go by.

Picked one up yesterday, the hardware is beautifully made and great materials used. Everything is all great, until the usual grit bears with WM 6.1 show themselves, Toshiba have done a good job with their UI over skin, but underneath its the same old story.

I got it as it official supports the full 6.5 release when its out, so that will perk things up a bit with luck.
