    IMHO Three have come on in leaps and bounds and are much much better than
    they were even a year ago.

    Relatively speaking. OTOH there were recent reports of them supergluing
    SIM's into phones, so you decide if you want to deal with a company like
    this.

    Only been with Three for a few days and am pleasently surprised,
    reception is far better than I tought it would be. I have got the N73
    on X-Series Silver. I am really pleased I can use data without the
    worry that I would need a new mortgage when the bill turns up.

    Indeed, 3 are only protecting their huge phone subsidy.
    If you want phones you can change sims on be prepaired to pay a lot more

    Re: Feedback about Three

    I'm on the X-Series Silver (£5pm)
    MobileMail: Always on email, but saps the battery, so don't forget its on
    overnight.
    Email: With the Nokia built-in email client I can connect to many email
    addresses and have it check it every 1hr or so.
    YahooGO: Check my yahoo email. Don't use the Yahoo Messenger.
    MSN Messenger: Works a tret, apart from when you have no one online, tends
    to crash out when that happens.
    Mobilcast: Crap
    Skype: Works great and the sound quality is very good. Just need to get more
    friends using skype.
    Internet: Loaded OperaMini runs a lot faster than the nokia browser. Check
    feeds, visit forums, check MSN Email, anything.

    Think that's all the x-series apps? I've also loaded additional apps onto my
    N73 to enchance my listening pleasure.
    S60 Internet Radio: Listen to any shoutcast radio stream on you mobile. Been
    loading ones with ACC+ and low bitrate, sounds still the same and doesn't
    use that must data up. Well I've got 1GB to use up!

    Rebranded my Three N73 to the Euro1 Music Edition. Music player is must
    better and you can add albumn art to tracks.

    Also you can playback all BBC Radio shows, just click on the listen again
    from the website and it will automatically open Real Player for you.

    The £20 flip phone (ZTE F866) I heard was superglued. The Motorola C975
    not glued, not the ones I've had from both superdrug and ordered from 3
    online.

    if you have one that is glued in, what happens if you take it to service
    centre as it's "faulty" as surely it would be categorised as such from
    manufacturer spec?

    I joined them beginning of November, spoke to CS in India (at least they
    use their 'real' names and not some fake English sounding name). This
    was to port my number over, had no problems with them, very pleasant and
    even phoned back to confirm the details and the port details were
    accepted OK.

    Friends called them with help on Messenger Live and they were happy with
    the support, in fact they thought they were excellent.

    Seems things maybe going in the right direction.
