There is, but its a fast moving dangerous world in there for people that don't want to get toooooo technical.

What we all need to keep a look out for is anyone else shifting G300's cheap. I have seen them for sale in Asda, Argos and all over the place but at the stock £99 (sometimes +£10 top up too!)

If the model is being dropped or superseded other retailers may go 'clearance' on it too - we need to pounce!

Methinks it's about time Huawei got their finger out and released the official ICS update in the UK. I certainly won't be updating until this appears. Total technophobe.

I might just hold my nose and take the plunge - I quite like the single file/boot option Silly goose posted

Are you on original 2.3? seems to go better if you are.

Should you have a problem, I posted a couple of posts after the one about upgrading that the original Vodaphone 2.3 ROM is around to download - by the same method should return the phone to as bought.

I don't want to encourage anyone to break their phone but with a fresh stock phone, I know the method I mentioned works and the ROM version works really well on the phone. Before buying the phone I did a lot of searching around, having done these upgrades to other Android phones (and I am no expert for sure) but just sharing the results of my research. Let us know how it goes.

Which ICS version are you guys using on yours i was waiting for the vodafone one but may be tempted with one of the ones mentioned on modaco

Three have e-mailed me offering all-you-can-eat data for a £3 monthly add-on. (No link, it seems responding to the e-mail gets the deal.) It would be impolite to reject this offer, even given Three's poor customer service.

Partly because giffgaff misinformed me :mad: that my 5GB top up had already expired by the day after I bought it and I concluded it was not for me, I started a Three rolling one month contract offering calls, texts and unlimited data.

My phone needs are limited - just a handful per month - and my existing PAYG deal with another supplier is too good to give up. So I'm thinking of stopping my current Three deal and using the G300 just for data.

I would use an existing Three PAYG SIM which has some call credit. Is all I need to do is to swap over the SIMs? Would all the downloads still operate? Or should I just convert my current SIM to PAYG (and endure the pathetic Three CS)?

Unlimited data for £3 monthly looks to be a good deal. Grateful for your thoughts.

Double check if it includes tethering (if that's important). Their usual AYCE £3 add on doesn't. (Though maybe this email offer you have is different??)
