    Carphone warehous this morning around 2.30 had parts of its site down. I was monitoring it waiting for some changes to take place.

    I found the Pre 3 available on many different types of contract with different operators (not 3) and listed on their sister sites... Mobiles Direct I think and mobile.co.uk

    It was on those sites also that I saw the free touchpad offered with loads of differnt contracts.

    Well, Alex did good with the info on CPW netbooks so he's still my hero and I'm sure he'll give us the info on this asap.

    There have been people saying that its not QWERTY but AZERTY however.....

    either £49 or better I don't say what they can do with them ...
  • Do you have to be registered to buy from CPW?

    No you don't....you just fill in the checkout

    But first remember to go through Quidco or Topcashback - sim-free phones are currently about £5 cashback I think...

    So why is the title of this thread "£49 down from £400! Sim Free!" exactly? Where is it? Come on - where!?

    I'm now seeing forum posts in other places of people being rang by the Palm Eurostore and being told that either they can have the phone at full-price or a refund as they don't plan to reduce them.

    Think they may have to re-think that one when they are left with them all.
