The only problem with them filing a lawsuit is the fact that you cant copyright a number.

watta you mean jc?
people have copywritten phrases, designs AND numbers.
ex: donald trump is the owner of the phrase "your fired" anyone who decides to use it (marketing wise) has to pay him royalties.

That's the O2 X3 isn't it? So the fact that it's really the BenQ S700 doesn't really matter in the UK at least.

CounterT610 is right, its why Intel stopped calling chips 386, 486 etc, and came up with Pentium.

That phone is the o2 x3! it has exactly the same looks and from what i can tell specs. I would avoid the BenQ phone from customer experiences, they are not great. sure the x2 was a huge improvement over the x1 (made by maxon) but its not without its faults! (a huge list of them) Plus the o2 x3 does not have a high resolution colour screen and from what i've heard mp3 file transfer has been a bit of a pain the the back side. This phone is my opinion is a big NO
