    It's because it's a contract phone that online/phone don't sell it.

    In stores, you can get it box only but as it's contract phone, stores might vary on whether they will sell it box only due the fact of one stock levels and two it doesn't make any money because it's not subsidised like the PAYG handsets. Go into your local store and ask. Sorry no clue on the price though as I've never been asked for box only Elm before. It's not really a popular handset. Don't know why as it's a great little phone, easy to use and got a 5 megapixel camera.

    I suppose it's because there is a 'push' on touch screen handsets, but yes a well spec'd device and has gps too
