    even for £100 it's a lot I'd say. for about that money you can have one of the cheap HTC's and it runs android ...

    Personally I would rather use webOS than android, it is far more user friendly.....if exactly the same apps were available to webOS I am sure it would have been a success. I love my pre plus and will use it till it dies.......and then cry as there won't be a replacement!!

    Initial reports quoted prices of between £49 to £69 on its supposed release that hasn't come to fruition. I guess most of us would be quite happy to pay that but not the RRP, no way its worth anything like £200.

    It also shows it as a PAYG phone but you now cannot add it to basket nor does it show a price. I bought one last night at full price, have had confirmation e-mail but not an acceptance of order e-mail, nor had a call today.

    Not sure how long to wait, or what to do really

    No money pending to be taken off my card
