    Hey guys, I recently bought an ipod touch 4g, and am happy enough with it, but was just wondering from the guys that bought this if I am better off returning it for this?

    Personally I wouldn't buy a ipod or similar device again. I'd want an all in one device that is your phone/music/internet etc in one package. This would fit the bill. If i were in your position i'd probably get this over it tbh.

    iPod touch still has the sharper screen, video skype, bigger selection of apps, really depends on what features you use. One device is handy but battery life can be shorter the more you do with it

    Use google chrome web browser and it auto-translates (roughly!) every webpage in a different language, very handy!

    Google translates website quite well but doesn't work with https which make it useless while you log-in and buying a thing.

    I tried it today and it's fast, vivid glossy screen, and sleek. But I just don't get the Windows Phone user interface.

    The home screen squares are scrunched on the left & there's one tiny arrow floating on its own at the top right, which leaves a thick empty column below the arrow, about one quarter of the screen! That seemed like an awful waste of screen real estate and has the effect of making the screen look smaller.

    The navigation is the really confusing bit - apparently left & right swipes scroll, but the top & bottom swipes also scroll.. so I scrolled my way around & got lost in the menu system, unsure how to scroll back to a particular screen... but thats where the home button proved useful & I had to start all over again... it really does take some getting used to.

    Just got an email to say mine has shipped. Always wanted to try Windows 7 and it's a great price. Having said that, I plan to buy the Samsung Galaxy S2 when it appears here..... Please stop posting these bargain alerts, I'll be smashed! Cheers OP, I think.

    I think i'm going to hold off buying this one. I'm tempted because of how ridiculous that price is! But i know I really just want a Galaxy S2...it'll be a while before i buy one though.

    Great BA cheers"!

    The only problem with waiting is that the Galaxy S2 wont be cheap and then you wont want to buy it as it will be too expensive!

    I know i know! I'm even questioning my reasoning now!

    This phone is such a bargain! It features the same 1GHZ snapdragon processor as other high end smartphones do (Nexus one, HTC desire etc) and it does not skip on features.

    One disadvantage is that it does not have a super AMOLED screen however I have read in reviews that the only difference you will notice is that on the amoled screen the black level is truly black and not grey but that's about it

    Just wondering if you managed to order. At similar stage to you. Seems to tell me that it will not ship here.

    You have to click on "48 new" and then click on the top result which should be price-guard.

    There's plenty of great reviews online.

    Windows phone 7 is supposed to be very good, the UI looks great and it looks fast.

    Also there's a big update coming to the OS in the next few months, which supposedly will improve things a lot too. I think it's a great bargain, for such high end hardware.
    1Ghz processor, 512mb of RAM.

    I'll post up a review when i get mine! Can't wait now!

    Oh yeah I read the reviews, I mean a review of the seller/buying experience ;)

    Hope these things are packaged well, don't get caught for customs (can you get caught for customs from germany?), are sim unlocked, etc :)

    You only get stung for customs when buying from outside the EU. So we're grand on that front.

    I'll let you know about the rest when i get it!
