  Just buy it like normal, the price I posted has the shipping fee included! :)
  
  Here's an expired post on it here with people probably asking similar questions:

  for those tempted (myself included), apparently the build quality is fairly underwhelming on this phone. that said, its an awful lot of phone for not very much money!!!

  I reported this to be deleted as I wasn't 100% sure it was shipped to UK, but it seems if it isn't you get a message at checkout (which you don't here). So if a mod see's this then ignore my report! :)
  
  EDIT: Seems the extra shipping charge gets added on at the final page, so now not such a good deal at 167.62. Oh well! Have edited the original post any ways.

  Shame it isn't the Omnia 7 but still a fantastic OS and will be even better when Mango comes out soon :) friend has this phone and he likes it, for that price it's great.

  Doesn't the omnia have bluetooth & update issues which have blighted it?

  Ive got this phone, and I think the build quality is actually pretty good. Its got a tough screen, and a nice finish on the back. It feels sturdy and has certainly got a bit of weight to it. My mate just bought a budget Samsung Android phone and that feels like a plastic toy in comparison.
  
  Pretty impressed with the phone overall.

  hi,
  
  I've got this handset and if you look through places like xda devs, the story of this handset is that many handsets (like mine) had defective blutooth chipsets (poor LG QC) and I as an example have been through a nightmare dealing with LG trying to get them to repair it (just received the return bag after 3 months agro)
  
  WinMo7 is gr8, Samsung/HTC handsets are far better in terms of QC than this handset, thats presumably why so many of these are being cleared dirt cheap .. i would be very suspicious that many of these have been refurb's and the defective bluetooth chipset swapped out .. or lots of network stock unsold becuase of its QC rep.
  
  In summary .. make sure you check bluetooth is working and if it is after a few weeks still you have a super bargain ... winmo and these handsets (bar the poorer cameras these have) is enough to stop me wanting to upgrade to and iphone in a few weeks .. and mango still to come :-)
  
  .. that is if i get a working one back from LG

  It's better built than say, the SG2. At least there is metal in the casing!

  GREAT phone, seriously. I tried Android (Sony, HTC and Huawei) and had an iPhone for a few months but this has been the best of all. Great battery life, decent enough camera (for a phone) and the operating system is superb. Can't wait to see what Mango brings

  As for build quality, it's *really* sturdy. Metal backed with a gorilla glass front (same as iPhone 4, so in theory difficult to scratch).

  I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago from amazon.de. Unfortunately the phone is defective as it won't accept any sim card. I've emailed amazon.de an the retailer several times and had no help. Anyone know the procedure for returning to the retailer, PriceGuard? If they replace it with a fully functioning one I will be really happy as the phone itself seems very well built and I appear to just be unlucky with the one I received.

  IFAIK the only pairing of bluetooth on these Windows 7 phones is to a handsfree kit or an audio device - you cannot pair to another phone or pc and send/receive files data contacts (SWMBO Samsung Omnia 7 via a great deal on T-Mobile is the same)
  I got one of these from amazon.de a couple of months ago
  great phone, great os, even better Mango to come

  I have the Omnia 7 I bought it from a m8 for £60! He'd hardly used it and was fed up it wouldn't update. I bought a usb jig from ebay for less than £5 and that gets the phone it to download mode. I downloaded the update fix patch from Samsung and then Zune allowed me to update. If you have an Omnia 7 with bootloader version 4.10.1.9 then it simply won't update, it also won't allow the Samsung patch to be installed so you need the USB jig to get the phone in to download mode. Anyway the OS is so slick, as soon as one or two apps come to WP7 that I need then I'm switching from Android. Android seems antiquated compared to WP7, with WP7 like IOS the phone just works. Android allows a lot of customisation but I really can't say a lot of good about Android after owning a San Francisco (awful even after changing roms) and now I currently use a Galaxy S (more power to run the shoddy Android OS). I did think of getting the S2 but I'd rather get the WP7 version.
