    They were knocking out a £5 Nokia something-or-other on the same deal when I was looking for a cheapo for a foreign visitor, circa July, though they seemed to be perma-outta-stock.

    Presumably the various nefarious fraternities who pervade society (dealers, terrorists, chavs) were stockpiling cheap, disposable blowers.

    Intresting to note...

    The example I got from Carphone today is *unlocked*

    If you need a phone for going out with and not afriad to drop in beer, this is it. Better than the F3 and with a usable interface. Its like the C168 which I use in the USA.

    It works, it makes calls.... what more do you want from a phone that costs £3.

    Of course, buy it handset only, and it shoots up to £39.10!!!
