    Hey, didnt know that about the onestopphoneshop, probably why their performance has improved though to be fair, I think I bough my A925 from them and they hadnt been bought out yet.

    As for the **** of competing urls, as I pointed out in another post here, that practice has now been relaxed. You are allowed to post one instance in a post, in the correct area of the forum and it will not be censored at all.
    I have no axe to grind with you 3GSU, the more info and places for people to get their questions answered, the better as far as I'm concerned and if you think back to 3gnewsroom days, I was always fair then and didnt agree with the flaming even though I sometimes disagreed with you, there was a mutual respect. The 'other' forum as its called here has been cleaned up a hell of a lot since the days of ******** (ID of known flamer removed by 3GSU) et. al. and if you browse there now there are no flame posts allowed there either. With 8 mods, 2 Supermods and the Admin, a clear forum Code of Conduct(thoughtfully though rigidly enforced), the forum is not the same place you had cause to feel the way you did(still do?) about. Let us all coexist for the enlightenment of the people who need it most, the owners and enthusiasts of 3G technology!

    Sure they can do what they please, I wont be providing any contributions though. They lost some excellent contributers through sheer mis-management thinking that flamebait and personal feuds attract interest. Most likely they wanted lots of hits and that sort of stuff gave them a result of sorts.

    There are better things to read than folks persistantly bitching at each other and one benefit that has arisen from the shenanigans elsewhere has been the establishment of this new facility with no commercial interest to affect its mission.

    We are happy that a growing number appear to be posting and it looks like the core members here are contributing plenty and appear to be 100% supportive of our efforts.

    Now back to where do you buy your phones!!!

    Point taken, though your knowledge of 3g issues is a loss to that wider audience.
    You have a nice place here, keep the faith!

    Now back to where the 3g phones are purchased!

    I get mine direct from either an Orange Retail shop or Orange.co.uk Most of the phones seem to be free from them and I would much rather deal with the proper network sales team.

    Usually get mine from one of the web stores, then introduce it to Phoenix & the generic flash. Works out cheaper than buying SIM-free. Don't need to unlock the 6680 from 3, but it would be nice. Grrr!

    I dont have enough trust in independants online yet. But maybe if someone could give me good dealer then I would consider it
