Not sure about other providers as I wanted to stick with o2. That's the only one they offer at the min and it's apparently exclusive to o2

Think I have seen an LG too

Quite a few issues with the software at the minute, all that springs to mind while I'm this fucked is a lack of copy&paste, which the iPhone got rinsed for

Kerry got hers today. Really really impressed. So many features that made me think, why doesn't my iPhone do that.

The way it syncs photo's with online accounts. Pinning contacts you use most frequently to the desktop, can write on there fb wall etc from the contact screen. xbox live intergration.

i only had a quick go, but i liked it.

Thanks. Sounds similar to Android.

My fiancee needs a new phone and I think she should get either Android or Win7.

Never used Android (although i do love google) but aslong as m$ keep on top of updates and try to constantly improve i think w7p has a good base to build on.

The mention that it has facebook built in has fucked it for me. They seem to think everyone uses it!

I love it! Feels like an iPhone weight and shape but screen is loads bigger!

Regarding the facebook integration If anyone just wants a phone for making calls and sending text then smart phones are pointless. However when it comes to social networking, emails, games, Internet then this phone in my opinion may just have the edge on iPhone!
The reason this phone works for me is because at home I can't text or call anyone due to no signal. Using my phone with apps such as facebook, ebuddy etc is much quicker than turning on laptop or pc

Hope they listen to feedback and make some little tweaks but overall it's really good in my opinion
