firstly to answer hummers question if u buy from vodafone or optus they usually tend to be unlocked but if not the fee is i think $50 now but ill have to check for u. the 6288 which is the upgrade of the 6280 is $600 from memory but the 6280 should be around 450-500
secondly i have never really been a complainer over fone navi keys because the way i see it is your probably going to have this phone for at least another year and cant u get used to it by then? i have with all my previous fones and believe me iv tried them all.
thirdly and finally i have narrowed down what phones i wanna get to 2 phones either the nokia n80 or the sony ericsson w850i now im trying to decide whats more important a smartphone with wifi and a 3mp camera, or a walkman phone which looks better has better mp3 functionality but a 2mp camera and no wifi or smartphone functionality.
so yeh Discuss!! lol
