Just seen "The Link" advertising the T100. Anyone know how much it is and what network? The advert didn't say!

Cheers. I don't like the phone, (not enough features on it for my liking) much prefer my T68, though I think the T100 is a nice design. My wife likes this new samsung, she already has an A300 (sad) and seems to like the samsung dual screen clamshell designs. I expect it will come with 2 batteries like her A300 (slim and standard) so battery life isn't such a problem. Thanks again

My mate just got one... (I want one as well) He got an Samsung T100 for £169.99.. Including the trade in..

He got a £30 trade in, a new contract with O2. As far as I know that they are only launching on O2 at the moment.

Its a bit thin on features compared to T68 though isn't it. Looks very nice though, I always liked the A300 design, just the fact it is such a basic phone and quite slow on WAP really put me off. The thing I realy like about the T68 that the A300 or my siemens sl45 don't do is that you can stay connected to WAP while you check a new text message. I use a genie sim so free WAP over the 915000 dial-up. Shame that genie don't do GPRS!

@mhorton > Did your friend get his T100 from "The Link" ?

My wife wants this phone really bad, maybe I should sell my T68 and get a T100 to piss her off!!! Ha Ha

The samsung clamshell phones are much better than the motorola wings though!

Yeah, my wife went to "the Link" today to have a look at a T100. Its £200 with contract, and you can trade your old phone to get £30 off that price. They were doing the T100 as O2 pay and go for this weekend only at £370. Cant see them shifting too many on pay and go at that price. She cant have it anyway because shes only had her A300 5 months!

Its seems that Carphone Warehouse and the Link both have the phone in stock - o2 only as Voda has not approved it yet.

£179.99 on contract - various trade in deals, depending on store etc

On that note - the T66 is still not available (for sale with a o2 or Voda contract) as they still haven't approved it. Should be available iminently though.

Ish
