Sui_Generis

I think that's what the editor of Macuser referred to recently he seemed impressed after using it, certainly a very nice piece of kit. I suppose you'd still have to pay for wifi access through BT OpenZone for example? Hmm probably signals the end for overseas mobile usage for business execs.

It would be a killer if it had BT for a headset

I just like it that I can give it to my mum to use and its easy for her to use that, better than telling her how to dial via my pc lol and plus im lazy, use it around the house.

Nice phone. Shame about the distinctly not money saving whatsoever price!

yeah, but with everything, the more these are bought the price will come down. Cant see it being much use if youre out in the car etc..

until all cars have a built in 3g card for always on broadband...you know it'll happen....just a matter of time...probably be on the next Merc S class

cant be used at hotspots as it does not have a built in browser...too expensive just to use at home or office!!

Depends what resolution you're running and what size monitor you have...

I doubt it.

Looks about the same size as the old Sony Ericsson T630 to me. In fact it looks a lot the the T630 full stop. http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=572
