That is a very good price. It's not worth getting it on contract.

If you are into games, then it's an excellent alternative to the GBA SP.

They need to make the games cheaper. £30 is way too dear. I think the n-gage is the best thing out but to compete with gb they need to release more games at cheaper prices. People arent buying the game deck becuase of the game prices. No wonder people downlaod them.

It's called piracy and it's illegal.

Sorry, but smart phone piracy is something that really gets me. Being a moderator of a major symbian based community, I work closely with developers, and I also see how many people just download the app instead of buying it. Developing applications takes a lot of time, and it's a lot of small developer's only income. Granted we're talking about big gaming industry firgures here, but it's still not right.

I have a friend who works in that line of business, so I know the brains that go into thse JAVA-based applications.

Plus, you can add pictures to it from your PC. Not quite as good as snapping a pic of a fit gal with a built in camera but not too bad an alternative.
