Bad form to reply to my own post I know, but I should have said that 3 only
seem have exclusive rights to the pink version, I believe that Orange do the
blue one and o2 the black one. If you don't mind changing providers, you can
get the pink one from 3 on a 15 quid a month contract with 500 minutes a
month, bit of a bargain. Or the
sim free one from expansys will set you back
197 quid.
