No word lately about anyhting new from 3 UK.

They have the Nokia 6630 (unofficially) and a new LG clone of the U8XXX family but other than that they have been very quiet about what is coming.

Samsung are now 3's lead supplier with LG another key player. No doubt motorola will still be supplying them for now but what happened to NEC?

Are 3 keeping their powder dry for Q3 and Q4 to do something similar to last year with a better range of products for both contract and pre-pay?

We shall see?

Due and overdue!

I almost respect their decision to only carry video calling handsets, but they don't seem to be throwing a great deal of weight behind their handset range. Still, they have quite a few phones on sale, and given the prices some of their tariffs can be had for I doubt the phone to be used is extremely high on most peoples list of priorities.

Most people I've seen are using the little NEC 338 or LG U8120/38.

For reference, a listing of Three UK's official handsets can be found here:
