Three weeks old ~ built in camera, touch screen, etc etc etc.
Seemed like a good idea but far too complicated for me.
Best offer over £300 gets it.
SIM free, currently on Orange but can be unlocked easily.

The point is the SIM-free - you don't get locked into another 12 months like you would on a upgrade.

I've had one for 6 or 7 weeks - damned good phone.

Bloody good phone!
About £150 cheaper than current market rate too.
I'd buy it had I not just bought one - but soooo good.

Bear in mind that when you upgrade your phone on your existing contract you sign up for another 12 months, hence they subsidise the price.

Exactly what Fen said (thanks for that m8)

Awesome phone at a very very good price. Don't confuse sim free with upgrade price. £300 is about £200 less that a new sim free would cost.

http://www1.carphonewarehouse.com/co...iLvjCLWcEe_x2U

This phone can do everything. MSN messenger, ICQ, AOL etc etc

I often view Scoobynet via mine using Opera browser. Plays MP3's the list goes on. Check out this site for some of the recent apps that have come out:

hope this helps you sell it.

Orange have not abused this phone. You can remove the orange logo with nail polish remover and 10 mins of light rubbing. And as far as the software goes they have not done anything to it that i can see. Anyway you can get it flashed with the latest software at any Carphone warehouse service centre.

It's a top phone - got one last month. Plays videos, mp3s, photo quality is good, got loads of memory - internet is very quick on it. All in all, one of the best gadgets you can get. The best thing about it in my opinion is the docking port, enabling drag and drop of anything u want between PC and phone, after connecting the docking port with a USB - easy to stick music/vids/pics on phone, or take digi pics off phone, onto PC.

I paid a fair whack for mine on a fairly high Orange tariff, locked in for a year - and I know £300 is a very good deal - too good in fact, as I was thinking of selling mine for the same reasons (and I want another little phone)!

Good luck in the sale - if u sell, and get more interest,point them in my direction - same phone, all ancilliaries, spare light pens, handsfree, docking port, boxed etc.
