    Yup I watched it going from {Outofstock} to available at exactly 5pm.

    I have to say its a great phone. Having had a Pre and Pre 2, they finally nailed the hardware - feels really well built in comparison.

    It's still in stock so I guess not everyone is aware of the sale... probably better that way, website wont crash so bad ;)

    Meh, yeah it looks like a decent phone, and I like the fact it has a physical keyboard.

    Guess I'll be waiting for some portrait physical qwerty phones running android! :D

    ...Ah, and the website is crashing now! lol.

    169 in stock now... either the AZERTY version isn't as popular or not many people are aware! :P

    i think it's nor popular as it's not english no qwerty keeypad in it


    Note: The language (operating system ) of this unit can be set to English, German, French or Spanish - however the physical keyboard layout is that of French AZERTY.

    I went ahead and ordered it on contract from mobiles.co.uk ...bit of a risk but I guess if a company that is part of CW can go under then the world is coming to an end!

    These were first impressions having just set up the phone.
    Yea I like having the FB and other much used icons on the screen, but Im sure I can cope without it : ) It will go onto the dock, but there is nothing I can knock off the dock to make a place for it.
    The texting is weird though, it will just take some getting used to. Give me a week and I will be giving lessons )

    How are you getting on with the phone bro? I should be getting mine today! :)

    Sorry I didnt see your post yesterday, hope you are getting on fine with the phone.
    The only problem I am having and am just about to try again to sort out is, you can not send a text to multiple people. I want to text my new number but refuse to send 150 individual text messages.

    CPW must be getting desperate, as they called me yesterday saying they were about to send out my order for a sim free Pre-3, but that it would be full price. I had placed the order about a month ago and they had totally ignored me it until now.
