If you go through Quidco you can get £90 cash back. Including Quidco you can get 600 mins, unlimited txts with unlimited Mobile Internet and Blackberry Email for just £30 on an 18 month contract. Also includes 6 months Vodafone Find & Go satelite navigation.

Compared to the extortionate iphone tariffs on o2 I think Vodafone have finally sorted some serious competition. I'll be ordering mine at the end of the month.

£30 per month? You'll need to pay towards the phone on that tarif.

Best tariffs available with the phone free are:

£35 per month
anytime 600 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Internet
6 Months Voda SatNav
Unlimited Push E-Mail + Blackberry Pin Messenger
24 month Contract.

£40 per month
anytime 600 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Internet
6 Months Voda SatNav
Unlimited Push E-Mail + Blackberry Pin Messenger

18 Month Contract.

Regardless, it is a fantastic phone and I have tried it, as soon as it's released I'll be getting it aswell.

I think Mulerider's point was that the Quidco discount reduced the overall cost to an average of £30 p.m.
(£90 / 18 = £5 discount p.m.)

Anything with the name blackberry on it, isn't going to be killing anything. I hate blackberry's. I use one for work (curve) and its the worst phone ever!

Good luck with that though.

Which would make it £35.

Also, BlackBerrys rock. I use the Curve 8310 and it's the best communication solution available. E-mails with ease on the move, along with social networking, text messaging and organisation.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like wi-fi will be working. Less an iPhone-killer, more an iPhone-shin-kicker.

However it has a working SatNav device coupled with a fully comprehensive Push Email ability, with Copy + Paste functionality and a side on QWERTY keyboard. A 3.2 Blackberry Camera with a -hell- of alot better video player. Also with the 70% Blackberry data compression and the Blackberry Pin messenger. You can mutlitask (run more than one program at once) and it has a MicroSD slot for hot-swapping and expansion.

So yes, in comparison, the iPhone fashion accessory is awful, so "Shin Kicker" is an incorrect statement.

I'll quote this review for you apple fanbois "The BlackBerry Storm does all the iPhone can do but better and in our mind has the best email system on offer in a mobile devices today"

Not really, it's a Windows Mobile device which ALOT of consumers always have problems with, especially if it's touchscreen aswell. Orange will get a hell of alot of returns on that phone tbh. Yes it has a good screen size/res but has pretty much jack !!!! else going for it tbh ^

Its got plenty going for it - particularly windows.

Update: Expected in stores on Saturday - tested successfully
