3 UK are not in the shops yet but you can pre-order from phones4u,
I think they just started taking orders yesterday. I almost got the
P800, I waited almost a year for it and am tired, I think I will just
go for 3g. The network will start running on the 3rd of march, handsets will be sold after 28days from the third.

@gadgetboytom

I think you've been brain washed by se, not everything takes a year (or more) from when it is announced until when it works.

I've been to a 3 trial in their store on Oxford Street, it looks pretty cool. I want to know when they will be selling the Z1010...

I forget the number, think it might be 423, but it is opposite selfridges.

Thanks mate, I think I will check it out, to see what the nec606 is like, but anyway I have already pre-ordered from phones4u, and its the kit deal am in for and the good thing is that the free minutes are to all network which is good.

Coverage of 3 services? Hmm, lets see, all of london. hmm, all of the m1, m4, m25, hmm, 2.5G coverage courtesy of O2.

Pirces for calls, hmmm, 5p a minute anytime, no monthly rental.

Trust me, I'm laughing... and in a months time, when I'm making video calls and you are not, I'd say see who laughs last, but the thing is, you wouldn't see anything...

It covers everything inside the M25, which is nice for me.

£59.99 for 1000 xnet minutes, 250 texts, 100 MMS (40 video +60 photo) and if I get one for my girlfriend, we have 100 videocall mins as well? And if I'm one of the first 20,000, the handset will cost £199.98?

Yeah, it is pretty funny...

Or... pre-order a e606 for the 3rd of March.
