    My local has Tamrac SLR style cases in black ballistic nylon for £8.91. Excellent quality and will definitely fit larger DSLRs. All metal D links etc.

    they normally can be had for around £35 on amazon (with £10 credit) so not saving much unless you need a basic phone with no credit.

    they "were" only £9.95 at phones4u (currently showing as out of stock):

    (going through quidco would effectively make this £4.95, so not that good a deal at £19.99).

    You can still get a Nokia 1112 at phones4u for £19.95 (less £5 via quidco):

    Local Staples has some discontinued Belkin Surgemaster Superior ( i.e. £100,00 lifetime insurance) 45,00 amp F9S520uk2M Under Monitor unit.
    Basically sits under CRT monitor, with switches at front and five 13 sockets at rear, (if you still have one) ;) . As cheap as an ordiary 2 metre switched mains extension lead, at £4.91.

    Described here, http://www.porta-charge.co.uk/accessory_0214.html , it has been replaced by a lower power model.
    Basically 4 protected, swiched + 1 unswitched 13amp sockets and a telephone splitter.

    Read a few reviews on it and it is mixed - however - nice cheap sat nav ofr someone who wants to see if they are worth while.

    I didn't get it as I have TomTom 6 on my PDa and TomTom on my phone
    so am satnav'd up (and my wife was with me in the store...:-(

    Strewth. Didn't think there would be any of these left now. You got lucky.

    I would recommend downloading the latest firmware from their website. It will make it work better.
