i've only used it on 3....it's got wifi so I suppose you'd muddle through on your existing 2G network....I've got a picture of a Ferrari with a Volkwagen engine in it....utterly pointless....:p

You missed the line "The good news from LG is that they’re working on something. There’s a realisation swept across the company, it seems, that open is good. Let the market do the innovation, just provide the platform"

don't aske me to to find it in google again....but there meant to be releasing a developers pack.....expect loads of apps...

probably the viewty and the tocco are the most you'll be seeing..still at €219 for a Viewty on payg it's a great price......it's still €399 on 3...

metalfest

i'd take an omnia or a renoir in a second....

Hiya, I'll be getting the LG Renoir tomorrow or Monday, so will be able to give you some feedback on it.
I did have the Samsung Tocco for a few days but had problems getting on the internet (intermittent problem). According to 3, this is a known issue. Wish I'd known that before I purchased the Tocco.
Anyway, decided to give the Tocco back to the 3 network and get the LG Renoir instead. It was a fairly quick decision on my part and I only read a few reviews on it, but it appears to be a good phone. Mind you, it's a fair bit pricier than the Tocco, but with all the additional features, it will hopefully be worth my while.
Costs 299 euro on the Relax 90 contract with 3 (which is the cheapest contract at 19 euro a month.)

metalfest

cool let us know

Lunabu

Will do, no probs;)

@lunabau

Are you sure your picking the right price plan? you really don't want to be going over your units.
I'm a little concerned you could end up with a big bill if your not carefull...

humanji

Has anyone actually seen theses in the shops yet? Everywhere I tried had no idea when they'd be in and some stores hadn't even heard of the phone. I was thinking of picking one up tomorrow if I can get one.

if you live near a 3 store (not a 3g store) they will have them

humanji

I don't know. That involves walking. And I'm a lazy, lazy man...

Not just 3 stores, some of the Independent Dealers have them in stock;)

It aint gonna come walking to you so you better get off your ass and start walking ;-)

humanji

Well, I could order it over the internet. But then I'd have to wait a until it arrives. So it's a battle between my laziness and my impatience.

Hi, I've been on this price plan for nearly a year and it suits me. Had a Nokia E65 before, so I did use the internet for checking emails on it etc. If I find that I need more units (unlikely), I can always upgrade to the next higher plan.:)
Still waiting for the LG Renoir; there was a hiccup again between 3 and the courier, but hopefully I'll have it on Monday.
