OK i was on vodafone for the last 3 years orange before that so as my bills had been coming it at around the £60 - £80 a month mark i thought the offers 3 had were attractive to say the least.

I did some background research asked a few mates who had three, visited a few mobile shops asking about 3 and its coverage etc, visited the 3 website, read reviews online and asked on here which was a great help.

I thought i would give the 14 days no gibble refund a try as i had nothing to lose so i ordered a A1000 on 3 from onestophoneshop on december 16th and was told it would be with me within 2 days, i hadent received or heard anything buy the 20 th so i tracked my order online to find that they were awaiting the phone to come into there warehouse.

I was a little annoyed to say the least as my vodafone contract was running on out the 30th, so i rang onestopphoneshop up and explained my concerns the guy told me the phone wouldnt be in for at least another 10 days and that the whole country was out of stock, i beleived him here as i tried severla other websites and they were all saying the same thing.

So he recommened the E1000 to me, i said give me 30 mins and i will get back to you, so i did some quick research and went for the E1000 it arrived on the 28th with all the itmes requested (blue tooth thrown into the deal) so im now getting 750 mins a month plus 150 textes for 12 months half price line rental (so £20 instead of £40).

The phone itself is a nice handset i feel that is quite easy to use after a while of working it out, one feature i liked was the ability to write a text message then decide how who you wanted to send it to from your list of contact out a tick by the name and send the same text in one go to how ever many people you decide, (this was great fo new years eve messagesi wrote it once and sent the same thing to about 60 people in one hit)

So far the singal has been great i have only not had 3g once when it went to 2.5 g (not sure what that is but it still worked fine) havent dropped a call yet and am more then happy.

I just got a few small questions / problems ?

The phone cam with no games what so ever, and the ones you can download are £5 each ? seems a bit poor would of thought it came with 3 games as standard ?

I dont seem to be able to access annaova wap sites which i used to use on my vodafone mobile, people on here mention the ringed fence around 3 ? Does this mean you cant view itesm outside the 3 services wap sites ?

Where can i get new ringtones ? for free hopefully ?

How do i upload mp3 to the phone as it didnt come with any cable to attach it to my computer ? Im not to worried about this as i have a 20 gb ipod anyways.

So overall so far i will give :-

The Phone - E1000 - 9/10

3 Network - 9/10

Im more then happy at present if it keeps going this way i will start to wish i moved over sooner.

Im in bristol by the way.

Cheers all

A well balanced and good post ziderhead.

Not being snotty or nowt, but have a look around on ds and you will find the answers to your questions here on the mobile telephony thread, just takes a bit of clicking and so on.

Sorry but you've lost me now?

You cant browse the net from 3, only the things in their 'walled garden'
