Hey, I'm looking to take this offer up, how did you get the £50 cashback?
Soldato
Getting annoyed with mine now, it froze last night and has restarted it self a few times aswell as the screen turning off and not being able to get it back on. Debating taking it back
Pretty much I upgraded my N95 8GB to their £18 a month mix and match 500 with Sony Ericsson c510. I then saw that deal with 500 mins and unlimited texts and internet on their site for £25 with free e71. I then saw here the quidco cashback (£62.50 for that contract).
I received my c510 in the post, but immediately phoned up and said I wanted to take up the quidco offer, which pretty much means cancelling everything with them at the minute and then starting up again via the internet.
The woman said she could not match the £62.50 cash offer, but is willing to reduce the monthly bill to £15.... = £180 cashback if you think about it?
So, I snapped at it to say the least and I plan on selling the E71 as soon as I get it as the N95 8GB suits me to the ground.
If I get £150 for the phone, the contract will then only cost me £120 for 18 months = £6.67 a month (-2.5% vat difference they apply further lol).
So yeah, I'm happy

I've been using the standard case thing since I got my phone but noticed that I've worn through some of the edges. Has anyone else noticed this at all and are there any worthy replacements?

Got mine today!
Keypad taking some getting used to but even using me thumb for typing it works a treat.
Was pleasently surprised the camera is a bit better than the 5800, lack of stereo speakers, 3.5mm headphone socket and screensize is a bit of shame but I just love the feel and look of it.
There are a few other areas where my 5800 still wins hands down but I've decided to keep the E71 and sell the 5800 on.
Been having a look around on ebay but can't find any desktop chargers/stands.
Has anyone managed to get one for the E71?

Unlocked ones seem to fetch £150-190 on ebay.
I replaced my N95 with the 5800 lol
5800 is a great phone, but I prefer the feel and the look of the E71, it's nice to have physical buttons for typing again too.
E71 fetchs £150+ on ebay and the N95 8GB you can sell to mazumamobile for £120 if you do decide to sell them.

Tried them out instore?
I found the E71 easier to type on than the bold and the curve, it also looks nicer imo.

Well if you're ordering over the phone or online you have the 14 days to send it back if you don't like it so get an E71 and play with it for a few days, if you don't get on with it send it back and try the blackberry

I liked the leather back of the bold but it's not as sleek as the E71.
Bold is quite a bit thicker and wider too, not so pocketable as the E71.
