    I see you can get the 8700g from T-mobiles website for 29.99, they have other Blackberry phones as well a couple of which are free, on their new FlexT tarrif, £35per month, which can be used on a combo of Voice or texts, looks a good tarrif, not sure about the phones or the coverage though
    £4988 Lloyds TSB Mastercard
    £400 O/D Lloyds TSB
    £2650 Lloyds TSB Loan
    £5070 Black Horse Finance

    Skint, but I have a plan.... an MSE Plan!!!

    The 8700 gets good press at blackberryforums.com ,though here in the UK T-Mobile will probably be your only choice of network if you are just a consumer, the 8700 is out on o2 but to business users only.Also have a look at scancom.co.uk for current deals.

    currently testing the 8700. it is so much faster (intel inside!) and the screen is crystal clear and beautiful. defo the best blackberry by far. the keys (as usual) are a bit close together, but at least they are not the 2 letters on 1 key.

    I have my reservations,its too early to tell of any issues with the 8700 - though it has good press I'm keeping my 7290 for a good while yet.
