I have had it for 3 months (ish). I have had to soft reset it 2-3 times (30 secs to do) and never had to hard reset (a first for a windows mobile device for me). Camera seems fine to me (it's not a 7.5M pixel Canon). If I were you I would look at sim free (on expansys) then use a 3 sim card with good data rates (either PAYG or contract).

thanks for the advice, just one last one how eary is it to get tomtom 6 to work ? I presume you need to do the usual set up the bt gps and then set a comms port for tomtom to pick the bluetooth gps ?

can anyone tell me does it drag its feet with the maps or is it quick ?

I set it up in under 30 secs when installed (I have a tt BT GPS receiver though). Just changed to a wayfinder BT GPS receiver and TT recognised it immediately (as long as you set up an outgoing port on the device when pairing with the phone). Maps do not seem to drag as much as they did with my k-Jam. There is a slight drag (circa 10 meters when doing 60mph) but that is normal for tt.
