That's strange my mum was looking for a new phone, after some researching this phone came up a few times with great reviews. So think she'll be opting for it soon.
I'm very tempted, will need to go and have a play with one. I just cannot see how an iPhone is worth double one of these for what I want to do with it (which, essentially, is what it works out over the course of the contract), regardless how good it is. And from the reviews, there isn't a lot in it anyway.
