Question

I know I said I wouldn't... But having seen the price and the gadgetyness of them I quite fancy one!

So where should I get one? Is anyone selling at less than the '50% off retail' price which everyone is quoting?

And does anyone know if you can port your number (I don't want to have to carry three phones!)?

Cheers,

You can get the phones from '3' stores, or places like the Carphone Warehouse, The Link etc...

I have got an NEC e606 and am more than happy with it. I wont be porting my number across though, as I got given a cool number by 3 when I got my new phone but the actual port process should be the same as any other network, get your PAC code and let the operators deal with it all.

blkwrx, if you really work for 3 I would like to know where, as your name is not in the corporate address book and why you list your occupation as "HGV Driver" as 3 does not employ HGV drivers directly.

Until you can prove that you have worked on the 3G network I would recommend that anyone reading this takes your opinions with a grain of salt.

If, however you do work for 3, it won't be for long making posts like that.

To be fair though, the criticisms he mentions tie in pretty well with what peoples' experiences have been, don't they? Especially the battery life.

The battery life sucks, apart from that it's a phone. It's alright :-)
