Seems to have everything i asked the guy i spoke too on it.
The 2Gb ram, the webcam, the Bluetooth, the blossom purple cover. He did get the WiFi wrong, i asked for the ABG one, and he put the BG one on instead, but im not fussed, A is hardly used anymore.
Got the £60 shipping knocked off as well. .

Just gotta wait for it to come, remove all the rubbish off it, install a few apps, and give it the other half. .
