    I'm in dire need of a new phone so this would be lovely.

    Check out the spec of the phone... lots of links online. I'm going to get one for sure - seeing as I missed out on the touchpad and maybe one for my folks as it has a camera and I was thinking of getting them one but this does both.

    I would I am not too up on phones mine is old too, but if it does go for under £80 I might get two.

    Well it will be Sim Free so will work on any network AFAIK so treat your other half to a decent handset... well worth it. Just ensure you have a data allowance or check your current charges for data etc....

    This is modern technology, yet to be released here so you can't go wrong.

    I was just coping with not getting hold of a touchpad. I don't know if I can go through this stress again. :(

    It may be hard getting one as many of the mobile operators wont be selling them and HP dont have any online either until possible later this week

    The fact Carphone will sell it doesn't surprise me. The other operators likely don't want to touch it due to support reasons possibly and also margin they would levy on the handset... compared to the iphone 5 that will soon be released and the cheaper Iphone 4... where there is more money to be made for the operator... then you have the Pre 3 that spoils the party again for Apple (as per the Touchpad has, to a degree)...

    A bargain however is a bargain and if it's been sold in Germany, and sold succssfully, it will here also...
