Hearing very similar comments from a number of sources

I've talked to a number of people who have used this phone and the response seems to be the same - it's very very flakely plus it seems to struggle to get a 3g signal.

This review http://www.clieuk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=8136

seems to match the experience of my contacts.

I'll give it a miss for the moment.
