    Oops sorry, missed that...didn't read properly.
    I phoned up again a couple of times, was told that it was free for £35 tariffs (18 months). Changed it now... the guy I spoke to earlier didn't know what he was talking about :rolleyes:

    What colour is everyone going for? I picked a red one but I want a blue one instead now...

    For those who ordered and have recieved this phone, what are your first impressions?

    I'm looking for a new phone since my C905 is so unreliable and this has caught my eye.

    I had a play with it today and don't think its very good. The screen resolution looks very poor because they're using a certain kind of screen which lowers glare and reduces the resources on the battery but it makes the icons just look cheap.

    The phone is quite heavy, I liked that because I like to know my phone is in my pocket but I was very surprised at the weight. The screen feels sooooo much smaller than the tocco for some reason as well.

    No qwerty keyboard which is a big no for me.

    It does have 1 kinda cool but will hardly be used function. By holding the volume control down it simulates an incoming call and plays a recorded message so if you're on a bad date and need an excuse to leave then you can fake a call or if you're walking home alone and feel scared then you can use it.

    The things that really annoyed me about the tocco where the inablility to use anything but samsungs own pictures as screensaver, and not being able to just turn the screen saver off. Plus, you couldn't delete the 'recent recipients' after sending a text.

    Can anyone tell me if this phone is the same?

    The none qwerty keyboard isn't an issue for me, since I prefer the standard phone keypad.

    Had a wee quick play about with one in Carphone warehouse today, looks great and build quality is superb.

    Photos looked good too.

    Seemed a bit sticky though with the touch screen, responsivness wasnt as silky smooth as iphone, although it was a prototype a Samsung guy who was standing in store let me have a go on and he said the actual models just released would be more responsive. Hmmm i dunno though.

    the Blue one looked better in my opinion also
