    People BUYING Windows Phone 7?

    That would surprise me. As it's crap, and I can's see anyone spending money to get one.

      When will people learn that "free" with a contract isn't free. You're just buying it on credit over the 12,18, 24 months etc.

      Overall cost all depends how much you normally would use a phone. If you make calls minimally, only receive and use mostly data on WLAN, then a 24 month contract can cost you over £600 to buy a £400 phone! SIM free is the option. Or PAYG. They're doing this on 02 for £399 PAYG. Keep or bin the SIM.

      And have you actually tried WP7?
