Ive got a funny feeling that most networks wont touch it, as they cant support the new os, I know o2 are funny like this. Give it a month and should be more networks taking it on. I cant wait for this phone to catch on as it has huge potential. Everything you read thats bad, will get fixed in a new update. So im not worried here.

I have an iphone 16gb 3gs coming tomorrow from O2 but am seriously thinking of returning it and ordering this phone from CPW or similar, there is also the other possibility of putting the iphone straight on Ebay and using the cash to buy an N900 from Play.com or Ebay. What do folk here reckon, I take it the iphone sim will work in the N900 giving me unlimited data??

Well I think you will make the right choice getting the N900, but with the 3gs, I have seen they are going for £380-£450, N900 ive seen go for about £450. Id suggest making sure the auction ends on a Sunday afternoon/evening, more people online at that point. I got my phone, £45 per month, vodafone, 900 mins and texts. 12 month contract. This works out about £300 after the price I was paying for sim only.

Power Saver Tip: Turn 3G off and turn on GSM in the phone settings, this will save a lot of battery. Another thing, if you have email or exchange, default was set to check every 30 mins, change this to manual or every few hours and this will save battery to.

I got mine from mobiles.co.uk as they offer all contracts including 12 month ones, that are rare to find now days.

Interestingly the CS dept don't know the answer to that question when you ring them :rotfl:

The risk you take is that if the slightest thing goes wrong it's always a nightmare to sort it out and going off the feedback of some people with problems with the phone you need to be aware of the shortfalls with dealing with mobiles.co.uk

I ordered and got the phone next day and they where helpful. I called next day and asked what was going on, if I hadnt then it may have taken days. It ended up that vodafone wanted a copy of my driving licence.
