Don't purchase the proto... hardware may not be upto speed, even the casing might not be that polished or finished off properly...

One thing i do know - the prototypes were with 260 MB RAM. The final version is going to have 340 MB RAM... so that's a big difference... (unless you don't mind lagging performance for a cheaper price)

The proto unit in this case has 380mb ram.

I'd suggest thinking about residuals on something like this. How much will it be worth in 6 months when you come to sell it. It will be worth significantly less than a retail unit so spending £400 now instead of waiting 2 weeks and spending £450-500 might be a bad move (or it could be a good move depending on residuals!).

Cheers for the info....

The proto I was looking at...

Is the latest build, latest ROM as far as I know and with the increased RAM too, which was why I was considering it...

The person has one himself and said it is well built and stable...

The important thing for me is it pos to update the ROM or am I stuck with the original ROM it comes with...

Im not 100% sure if I will purchase it, depends on the price to be fair... also if its gonna be close to retail price, then will wait as will get more accessories with the handset...

Thanks for the help people

Cheers
ENJOY
