  • This is a nice phone, i would like to get it, but at $800.00usd, who in the hell is going to get this phone. I mean mainstream customers wont pay this much at all. The problem with HTC devices is that there so damn high. My cut off is 400-500, so until HTC thinks it sh@t dont stink. The iphone will win the heart and mind of my pocket book.

  • With an 18 month contract from Orange, it works out £230 cheaper than buying SIM free and using O2 on a SIM only basis over 18 months. As Mike says, too expensive. I want the phone but not a contract. Posted by Peter Bark, England
  • This is a great looking phone and is very tactile. I tried it out at my local orange store. But I agreed with the previous comments that it's still too expensive even on a low monthly contract. So maybe I'll wait untill it drops in price. Posted by Alex. Craigmyle, Scotland
  • Tried this phone and sent it back because it didn't work as well as expected. Most WM software needs keys or a D-pad so a lot of games don't work. Active Sync is no better than Nokia's rubbish attempt at Outlook syncing. I should be better than iPhone, the specs are there and I’m sure it is with the right tweaks but it should work properly out of the box. Posted by Sussexlad, UK
