I am so far very very impressed with it. The speech recognition even for a fife accent is amazing can say a lengthy text message with no issues will be fantastic for my gran who will take a while to grasp the touch keyboard

Hey,
Considering getting one of these for my mum as a present; she had a play with my work phone (Optimus 7) and really liked the OS, but felt it was too heavy. Wouldn't want her to get Android as I think WP7 is far more stable and simpler for her to use - this phone is a pretty awesome deal.
This looks perfect - my only concerns are over battery life with the 1300mAh battery... fairly low capacity?
Cheers,
Suman

Ok cool... battery saver just turns off all background data and stuff, right?
Is there anywhere to buy the white version apart from P4U? Their phone only price is still £300, lol

P4U one will be unlocked. That's why.
Yeah, pretty much, just background data.
The ones from CPW and mobiles.co.uk are unlocked too. Price seems to be exclusive to them at the minute.

My dad wants one now as well, lol - white for mom, black for dad, maybe 
How readily available are the coloured back plates?

Of course they will be unlocked, you are not buying them directly from an operator. Only if you buy them from an actual operator will they be locked.

As far as I'm aware you get one in the box, but I may be wrong. All depends where you buy them from.

Knocked this together last night:

T-Mobile Pay Monthly 16 looks like the best bet - fairly generous data allowance
Cheers,

I've been trying to decide for a while now what smart phone to get. The pay as you go deal from mobile.co.uk has swayed me to get the 710. Brilliant price. Unfortunately the deal is so popular, they are out of stock and you've got to wait 7 days for delivery. I don't mind though
Can be had now for £119.99 instore at CPW as a PAYG upgrade, providing you have a PAYG sim from one of the major networks thats at least 6 months old and shows records of a top-up.
May have to borrow my mum's Orange PAYG sim and take a dander in!

It also means you can't surf the web etc without turning it on again. At least that's what appears to happen on my Omnia 7.

I got one this afternoon from CPW in Hull, they upgraded my O2 payg account for me with no problems or grumbles at all. I am just waiting for my O2 number to me migrated over to a new micro sim card. I went onto the O2 online and got a guru/advisor to speed up the migration.
It feels totally different to my Android phone, going to be a bit of learning curve me thinks.

O2 online gurus have done it again, they managed to get my sim transfer completed in just over an hour.
