Hi

Shame I can't get TV in my area though I knew this before. My mum and dad can and they are only 2 miles away so I will try the TV there.

Radio is great. I can only get 6 channels here again but they are crystal clear.

I live in the midlands and when I did a scan with the phone it picked up 45 DAB radio channels and 5 "TV" channels

I've manage to install tomtom on the phone, even though its not on the list of supported phones on the tomtom website. tomtom version 5.2 works the best as its easier to navigate via the keypad.

Mine has arrived. Being useless, I can`t even figure out how to get the sim card in. Never mind, daughter will be back from the orthodontist soon. I`ll have to help her with her paper round though. Can`t wait to use it.

Has anyone who's got one tried the DAB radio on the move yet? I'm thinking of getting one just as a radio to keep in the car as my AM reception is awful - it's interference from the car electrics rather than a weak signal. But it'd be no good if I have to keep retuning it every 5 minutes as I think I'd have trouble convincing a policeman it was just a radio not a phone if I was ever pulled over!

According to the postcode checker I get a green tick for the BBC channels at home and work so should be ok signal-wise if I was stationery.

Could I order the reconditioned one for £19.99 (exluding the SIM) and insert my current PAYG orange SIM card? I understand I would have to unlock the phone first but there was an earlier question about whether the TV/Radio might not work?

Many thanks

If you go to this page it gives you the DAB radio stations in your area.

I called about a recon phone and they had none available.

I called Virgin Mobile on 01373 855643 in hopes of finding a reconditioned lobster, was told that they no longer sell reconditioned phones, but the lobster TV was available brand new at £39.99

£39.99 without sim or 200mins. Get it for the same price with sim & free mins using the lifestyle link in the first post. Or use the tribes link and get it all for less...
