NEC e616v Deal - Too good to be true?

Seen the above video phone available in town for £44.95 and was wondering is
it too good to be true? Would want to use it on o2 as well so anyone know if
its cheap to unlock? Did a google search and some people slagged it off but
not sure if that was the older model they were moaning about.

I know its not a nokia but couldnt find a decent newsgroup for general phone
discussions as great and knowledgeable as this one (creep, creep)

They're a pain in the proverbial to unlock, battery life is poor as well.
If you want a cheap flip-phone to dabble on 3, it's not a bad choice, but
the Nokia 7600 is a better choice if you want to unlock and use it on
another network.
