I would like a London number - for my Euro-Trips; but Vodafone is difficult to deal with stateside - without interference from VeriShun. My apologies for the typos in my previous posting.

I guess we are NOw coming to our senses. The hype leading u to this release, has in the least, created an appetite way beyond reason. When the Bold purchasers' that MUST have the latest and greatest as soon as it's out, discover that 299.00 or whatever is for a 2 YEAR commitment with spotty service and real expensive Blackberry - AT&T pricing (Hey Guys!!! This is not just a phone.) The rest will stay away in droves. Vodafone's pricing reflects the reality of our global economy and swift changes taking place in technology. Here's an idea, why do we not merge the technology of Amazon's Kindle with a smartphone and get all we need for NO MONTHL:Y FEE? It's here, but no one is paying attention.

They should just follow that price point, and give the public a much needed incentive to pick the Bold up. It will be $199 here in the states by the latest December!
