Maybe off topic - but UK readers can see the Nokia 7600 WCDMA/GSM handset -
http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,43867,00.html - at the Conran Shop in London,
in South Kensington (Michelin building). They have two 'beta' working
handsets in the section where they sell novelty chrome thingummies, and
they claim to be the only retailer in the UK stocking it.
My impression: it's actually not as bad as it looks on the pictures, in that
it is very small - about the volume of a pack of cards, and rather cute.
Unfortunately the screen is terrible (maybe to be fixed for release), and
runs series 40, not symbian, so the good impression goes away as soon as you
turn it on. It won't be released by Hutch because it can't do video calls.
