SPV E200 is a good phone, Orange rebranded it thier own when MS had decided against launching it on thier own, but the battery life is APPAULING. Thats the only thing that killed it for me, it last two days with normal use, if I am away on business for a week I don't have the capacity or time to be charging it on the continent.
As for '3', I was walking through town whilst checking my mails on my 6600, woman stopped me in the street and asked which network I was with, I said orange and she said she would give me a free phone on 3, I looked at her and said two words for you, and she said 'what's that?' I said 'service availability' she said 'I know its bad, but its getting better'.
And that was someone trying to sell me '3'
