    Just got a reply from the request for my hands free kit. They say that there is not one included with the nokia and if I want one it is £6.99. I quoted the link as given for the kit but to no avail!
    The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T

    true to an extent!

    you need to get the phone unlocked to use it on other netowrks - and this can be done for free!
