I will also be leaving to get the N900 if o2 fail to get it on board. The Palm Pre is no match as its hardware is total rubbish and likely wont last the length of a contrat.

how can you comment like that? have you tried and tested both handsets to say the palm pre handset's hardware is rubbish?

also the warranty you get with any handset is for the length of the contract unless its the iphone. so therefore if you ended up getting the palm pre on a 18 month contract, the warranty would cover it for that duration.

Sorry guys but o2 are not getting the N900. Ive spoken to several o2 personnel and it seems pretty set in concrete. IT has skype on it so i think that may be one of the main reasons.
Anyway as much as the phone is brilliant for spec, as a phone its limited to its use in portrait mode and i believe its a pain to use for phone calls and texting.
Maemo 6 not far around the corner which fully supports capacitive screens and portrait mode.

I have heard a rumour that o2 are getting the n900 also most intresting of all the n97 mini?

I say intresting, as this is only out in Asia as a specail edtion.

They have started to roll out a lot of top handsets i.e. HTC hd2, the samsung galaxy, the pre, the satio, even the LG BL40.
Think we will see the tide turning back in o2's favour, however only if they bring their tariffs in line with the other big 3 networks

The palm pre, I have played with, software better than iPhone OS well maybe not swings and round abouts.
It's a really good phone, iPhone is better.
The keybored is they niggly on it, and the warranty is 24 months in or out of contract. It is delt from palm it's self

It's called 'research' LOL this phone has been out in the states for about 5 months, they mostly agree that the OS is good but lacking some basic fuctions such as MMS, video recording and a way to change the text msg sound without 'hacking' into the phone. Also no way to download off the internet ect ect.
As for the hardware, it's known to be pretty rubbish and as Palm stated that 'they will not be making any improvements to the hardware' thats how it was going to land in the UK.
And now we have lots of people in the UK saying the exact same thing. Have read other peoples thoughts on the 'bad' hardware......

Portrait mode will be on the N900 by Xmas. You can read about it here...

As a second gen iphone user (having renewed my contract twice) - my contract is up in the next month or so. The iphone 3GS in my opinion does not have enough new features to tempt me to replace it, I would only keep it for the app store.

So, the Nokia N900 wins and review/hands on pending I am planning to go to this. If O2 do not offer it, I will be moving network which is a shame as O2 have been nothing but great - but I want this phone more...

Someone else quoted this handset is too high end. It's retailing SIM free at £499 (http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=186949). The iPhone SIM free goes for at lest £600 (in some cases more).

**My Plea**

Please consider this O2, or I will be moving to Vodafone...
