cheers thrush, i think im pretty sure im going to get one, althought the samsung omnia i900 looks pretty good as my mate bought one today and i had a quick go on it a minute ago, not quite the same slickness of the iphone but offers a few more things than the iphone, but seems to lack in other departments.

At the end of the day i will use the net on the move as its handy for my work, and i also need a music device, i.e iphone, so ticks both those boxes, and at the end of the day is only a phone and not expensive so i can get something different on ebay if i wanted something different a few months down the line.

Anyone get deals on them? or is it o2 and carphone only?

I.e anyone offer me a slightly better contract or slightly cheaper handset cost?
