Sod it, just ordered one.
200min+200txts £20 a month with 02. Free phone and 24month contract. Don't mind the length as I will stay with o2 anyway and phone is insured for an extra £6.99. Just need to add the web bolt on.
Not the cheapest deal, but I hate oranges coverage it's pants everywhere in the south of England it seems.
should be here Wednesday but won't be in so probably Saturday pick up from post office depending where I am working.

It did look mighty sexy in the shop when I saw one.
Am very jealous
Let me know if it as good as it looks.
will do
and got a black protector case of ebay for £3, not sure if I will use it as the phone is insured anyway. I can see me breaking this every two months. Even on old phones I manage to break the screens.will do
My 5800 came with one, and im keeping it in it for the same reason. Ive erm, also not taken the plastic off the screen yet because im too scared of damaging it. Am going to have to buy myself some screen protectors, especially since the plastic thing that came on the phone has lines all over it

Doh' perhaps I should have waited till it arrived and see if it had a protector.
You can get the clear sttick on screen things of the bay, or at least for the arena you can.
Also got car charger and windscreen holder for £6.99 from hong kong
.. already got a 3.5mm jack going into my stereo, so this will be perfect for music in my car as well. Just need to get some really good headphones now. I think I need help for my ebay addiction.
I had a play with one yesterday. UI seemed ok if a bit laggy at times, camera seemed fine and it have to say it was fairly intuitive.
The built in web browser was god awful though, just didnt seem to respond with any speed. Took 6 attempts to register a touch on the bbc website, and it took what felt like an age to load the page even though it was on the shops wi-fi.

yahhh it's arrived. Going to take a bit to get used to a touch screen, haven't had one before but already improving. Totally flummoxed on a few things, think I'm going to have to look at the manual 
. Most of it is intuitive though and the display looks sweet. Just downloading the software so I can transfer some music and stuff across.
disappointed it doesn't come with more, Phone, charger, usb cable, headphones.
Would be nice to have a dock, and I think the LG Viewty KU990 which can be had for £14 will fit and a spare battery is £12. Sapce in the dock to charge it.
Will post more tonight.

I'm tempted by this, the video recording alone (720x480 + slowmo and speedup 120fps modes) as well as DIVX support on the 800x480 screen sounds great with dolby mobile sound. I'm just at two minds if I wnat this phone or the HTC Magic but the HTC will cost £35 a month so considerably more than the LG I have currently found @ £20 a month with 700 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB 3G allowance....what do I do!!!
Realistically what battery life are people getting ?

I found the deals on http://www.rightmobilephone.co.uk/
Ignore what I said in this posted, rose tinted glasses. Avoid this phone at all costs.
Got to say I'm really liking it so far. The camera is pretty good, at full size the pics look grained, but scale them down a bit and tehy are very good, Haven't noticed any of this UI lag.
The only thing I'm not liking atm is it doesn't look like on the music home screen you can add favourite albums, it looks like songs only. But the manual has pretty much nothing about this? anyone know? anyway once I've got my playlist sorted then it isn't a massive problem
The touchscreen is very nice and is very easy to type text messages either in portrait or landscape.
By far the worst part is the manual. I bet their is loads of things that I can't find or don't know how to activate.
This is shrunk by 50%
