I don't think they expect to sell 850 of them on contract. They'll probably come sim-free soon enough. The TouchPad is on its way back soon too, there's quite a lot of them waiting.

Thanks for the info & I dont want to sound like I'm doubting you but how do you know all this is 100%...

Still no news, few rumours circulating that they are being reduced to £49. Even if they are reduced there are very few retailers stocking them.

and nobody knows who the retailers are (we know CPW seems to have them and selling in them in contract, but that's all)

Wonder if the Pre 3's will be sold at a "significantly discounted" price... for some reason I think not!

Are you sure CPW are getting more TouchPads? Any information as to what price they will be selling them at?

Touchscreen phones maybe OK for people with small fingers but hopeless for me. I took an HTC Desire S out on 24 month contract 2 weeks ago and find texting difficult, even when I turn the phone on its side which enlarges the keyboard I'm still overlapping the surrounding keys. Its not like I have fingers like King Kong or Ben Grimm ( from Fantastic Four). I'd go back to a push button keypad phone in a minute, stuck with the HTC unless I find a more suitable phone and sell the HTC on.

Pfff... I have small fingers but I think I'd still prefer a physical keyboard! Having said that, you do get better as you practice, trust me. Just make an effort to practice everyday and it's not as bad as you initially thought it would be

CPW has a 24 month contract for the Pre 3 for £10.50 a month I believe. Haven't seen anything from T-Mobile but I could be wrong.
