Quite chuffed it has GPS because until today I thought it hadn't!!! It is such a smaller phone compared to the 'original' pulse. You can get it instore or online.

The few reviews I've seen seem to suggest that the (resistive) touch sensitive screen isn't all that great, and that you may need to use the stylus to operate the qwerty keyboard.

I must admit I'm not keen on the styling but it's good to see some budget Android phones coming out. The Vodafone 845 that's due this month looks interresting too.

looks like 2010 is going to see a few budget phones. I think a stylus is used because the screen is smaller than the iphone/desire... however you do get more portability i guess. There are quite a few MDA phones that have a stylus, a first for andriod.

has anyone else got one yet?

Hi just bought one for £64 delivered via method below. Seems worth it for the price, although it is no iphone!

Go to additionsdirect

New customers get £30 off with code ZG103

If you go via Topcashback you can get another £9 off.

Let me know what you think.
