Just been offered this from Carphone warehouse for £499.95 sim free on the launch date 31st May.

They also offered me a contract £40 on 02 unlimited calls unlimited text and 2gb data comes with a free tablet they don't have the details of the model.
This was an offer to the first 1000 customers who pre-order.

Just heads up for anyone that wants one about the prices.

I am as yet undecided.

    I will wait a 2 to 3 months before buying as it is likely to go down in price
    For example HTC one x come out at £499.99, after two months down to £450

    With any phone (except Apple) they quickly drop in price, HTC seems to be releasing phones every quarter so whats current now won't be for long. Give it 6 months nad it will probably be half the cost.

    Every phone will be out dated in 6 months thats a fact of life these days but you can't wait for the next big thing, you'd be waiting forever...

    No, it's the only smartphone (other than the note) with a high resolution screen and a memory card slot. I'm much more disappointed with the HTC Ones, the Sony Xperias and the Google Nexus which bizarrely (like the iPhone) do not allow you to expand the phone's memory.

    It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.

    £ 500 for a mobile phone that will be yesterday's newspaper in a year's time.

    Words fail me.

    At least some, if not all, of the Xperia range does take MicroSD cards.
