Not bad compared to the contracts you get for the N95. Is there a upfront fee with this VirginMobile contract?

 

[kingrob]

Does Virgin Mobile still have any subscribers?

no upfront fee

Virgin therefore sells the E90 for about R 7700 (incl. interest over 24 months). I don't see many people actually using this phone on Cell C's network which lacks 3G/HSDPA - so Virgin is basically just acting as a reseller (and money lender) here.

I see iTalk got E90 on MTN Procall 120 for R314 X 24. A good and cheap option.
I see they have the N95 on the same contract in the Weekend Sunday Times.

Well the first impressions always last.
So lets see:
Plus points so far
1. Build quality super
2. Keyboard is like Psion keyboards really nice
3. Intergration to exchange working great and easy to install with the pcsuite
4. Camera quality really good with the auto focus
5. Website browsing and navigating the best i have used so far.
6. To be able to use the outside screen with the same functionallity as the inside screen.
7. Bluetooth and wifi working great and easy to setup
8. To continue

Bad points so far
1. Camera button on the side is a bit hard to get use to but that is a known problem
2. So much to configure I dont kmow where I am going to get the time.

Well I will keep you guys posted as I explorer the functions

 

[GTi]

Not much in the cons area, guess we can overlook that 2. Thanx Gunslinger for the preview, sounds like a great piece of work.

I bought Photorite SP, which besides being quite fun to use and provides a better thumbnail gallery view, utilises the front cursor button to take pictures.
