Expansys have as thier deal of the day a smartphone for 60 quid - looks
a bit clunky, especially compared to the orange SPV model, and it has
no bluetooth or camera.  However, the flip out keyboard it has may be
of some interest to some and it is very cheap.

Deal of the day though, so only a few hours left...

I have no idea, but you have to ask yourself why they have so much stock 
(over 900 when I looked) of an oldish phone to sell - may be it didn't sell 
well when it was released?

The lack of BT is a real killer, it prevents you using any form of gps with 
it,
or use it with your laptop...and must have only saved them 1 in the
manufacturing.

I ordered one because of its built in foldout qwerty keyboard, I currently
use an IR foldup keyboard that works with both my ipaq and my
c500 smartphone.
