The device is available on a 24-month, £39.15 per month plan from Orange as of today.
Unfortunately the phone is let down by its OS – Windows 6.1. The INQ had a fumble with the handset at the launch event last night, but even the Tosh and Orange demonstrators found it a tad cumbersome to navigate at times.

The upcoming iPhone won’t run custom silicon for blazing-fast performance and have killer graphics that leapfrogs Sony’s PSP. Would a modest speed bump, double the storage, a magnetometer, and a better camera (that records video) satisfy you until real next-gen iPhone arrives in 2010?
NFC is a technology that provides a way for consumers to use their mobile phones for making payments, among other things. It’s something that has taken off in many countries worldwide, but certainly not all, and definitely not in the United States just yet. Unfortunately, Gartner predicts that the move towards mobile payment systems will still not occur this year or the next in mature markets like the U.S. and Western Europe. Instead, NFC is more likely to take off in emerging markets. Other uses of the technology, such as the ability to transfer photos from phone to digital photo frames, will also remain elusive to more developed markets.
