Hi 'Hello N96',

This was mentioned to us by a senior Vodafone person AND a senior BlackBerry person, with no input from PR of any kind.

Hi 'Mike42',

Thank you for your comments overall :)

The '£25, with the phone costing £99' was from a sheet Vodafone had the briefing on the day .. we expect it to be made public soon.

I was at the launch event for BEEM some weeks back .

I used and tried out the service to much delight and wonder and must admit it has great potential.

Am looking forward to seeing more on the service, more customers and greater people using it in the future

"One of the issues we had when we began to use the keyboard is that it looks and feels like it’s geared only for left handed people. We’re sure many others will feel the same way too. The d-pad is located for the left thumb to use only, which does feel odd. We asked why this was the case; the answer came back rather obviously and just shows who it’s aimed at.

After a great deal of research they discovered the left hand thumb was used more often in navigation when it came to consoles. Ahhh, the penny drops as to who they’re aiming this at now.

When you remember you do actually use that thumb in that way, the muscle memory sort of kicks in and you’re well away."
