mobiusnz: Thanks for the input guys - I've had a client offer to lend me theres as they aren't far from my place to I can whip it home and try it out and then shoot it back to them. I've thrown the HTC Trophy in the mix but I swore years ago I wouldn't ?buy another htc (smartphone2) or windows phone (winmo 3.1), really nice responsive touch screen and great video recording and playback....

Interestingly vodafones coverage map of my area used to have a hole in my street but no longer does even though I don't think they've actually improved anything here.

I'll let you know which way I go (starting to think I'll buy a cheap LG Optimus, stay unsigned and wait for a 3.5" highres capacitive touch android phone on vodafone)
