    Quick question before I buy this; at the checkout screen, it has all the usual fields for entry and then a "Mobile Number" field marked with a red asterix?

    Are you supposed to enter your current number? I don't want my actual number ported over to this phone, I just want it as something on the side..

    I am pretty sure that number they want is just for the delivery person.

    You will be given an 089 number, you have to do stuff to port your number

    But when I enter in a number, there seems to be a glitch, it just keeps saying Mobile is Required

    How do Samsung make any margin on these phones?

    I think they make a good margin. I'd say they cost less than a euro to manufacture.

    I have no major real reason to buy this phone. I already have a cheap little spare phone.

    Maybe it will do for somebodies christmas present or as a spare spare phone to be kept in the car.

    How much is that handset in stores? Seems to be different pricing between online and instore for most handsets

    Yes you're right, I think they're €18.99 (regular price) in store. The last time they were the same price in store as online at €9.99, now it's €9.99 online only. I think Carphone Warehouse have them for €5 or €10, but with a topup and network switch.
