just wondered if anyones bought one, and what you think of it. I got one a couple of weeks ago and find its okay, the dab works great so does the tv, it uses win moblie 5 so it has taken a bit of time to get used to , mainly have had nokia s40 and s60 phones but decided to get one of these as it was cheap to buy. £100 plus £25 free phone credit and £25 virgin vouchers also got it unlocked free through virgin, so i`m very happy with it, regards popp

Had a look in a Virgin shop, but seems it is £99 with £25 airtime but did not seem to come with £25 vouchers?.
Online it is £109 with £50 airtime (no vouchers)
Has the £25 voucher offer finished?

I got one in the middle of December, but as I am already a Virgin customer and did not need the sim they gave me £30 + £25 in Virgin megastores vouchers. I still need to send of for the vouchers.

One thing I have found with the phone, if you do a full band search (in or near London) you can get BBC News and ITV Play listing in the TV Guide but the channels don't work.

Seems according to www.wohnort.demon.co.uk/DAB/ukloc.html ITV play and BBC News are part of an experimental tx in Croydon (1.32 kW) and Leicester Square (1 kW)
"The broadcasts consist of changing multiplex re-configurations to assist in the development and evaluation of receivers and future services."

Neither, current DTT signal strengths are too low, it uses part of the DAB radio (now digital multimedia broadcasting) network.

the tv comes over the dab network, so there are no wap charges and after your free 90 days you have to pay £5 a month to update your licence. I have tried it with my o2 sim and still got the tv and dab. you get dab whether you subscribe for a monthly licence. regards popp
