    got this today for the OH, still waiting for an unlock code.

    Very first impression where a bit eek as it seemed quite laggy scrolling from screen to screen, however this seems to be just a problem with the O2 launcher. Downloaded Launcher pro and it is a lot more responsive. Screen is quite impressive for the price.

    Yes it isn't as good as my desire, but for the price it is a Fantastic phone and would highly recommend it

    Hey, I decided to go for one of these too. Picked it up in Newry on thursday, switched to Three today, and put the de-Oranged ROM onto it. I love it! Been playing with it all day, rarely notice any lag. By the way, it came with a 2GB microSD card. Not put Froyo onto it yet, as there seems to be some bugs, but hopefully they'll be fixed soon enough.

    Only gripe I have so far is that the wifi seems to automatically disconnect when the phone goes into sleep mode. Means that you have to manually connect again.

    Just tried this app and it seems to be working well so far:

    you can unlock it for free at http://www.nextgenserver.com/calculator/

    but use it with the orange sim for a while in the north or the uk
    when i first tried to do it (without having turned the phone on) it failed
    but i then used the phone and the above website started working about an hour later

    got a black one and a white one in london yesterday
    the white one seems quite nice
