According to analysts Enders Analysis 3 may be out of business by 2006. The Independant - Mobile operator 3 'unlikely to survive beyond 2006' 3 Has a target of 1 million customers by the end of this year. But on going techincal problems such as faulty SIMs and network problems which has led to The Link suspending sales are not helping 3. They were also having trouble obtaining more financial backing from their investors.

Ask me after christmas. This christmas MMS will be the big boom, and Picture Messages are good value on Three. Plus its normally time for people to get new phones. They need to get a Nokia handset on Three, it will help them.

I bought the NEC phone. It is just crap, don't ever use it, total waste of money

In Brief: [SIZE=3]AVOID![/SIZE]

I was with 3 and it was a nightmare. I waited 9 days and they still handn't connected the handset. They did promise to have it connected that day everytime I phoned them. I took it back under 14 day return. Then I got a bill for someone using my x-phone a week after I had returned it!!!!

They are the most incompetant company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with!

Ok cheers everyone I think I will save my money for abit and wont rush into it just yet see how they go was just tempted by the half price handsets and good price plans.
what is wrong with NEC handset as thats the one i was looking at at ?

it is huge, it's menu sysyem is pants, the ringtones are sh1te, it is slow, it has nothing going for it at all. It is just total CRAP. Took me a while to get to like my GX10, but that phone is lightyears better than the NEC. Especially when you have a g/f who has one too....
