Looks like my old V3 one would fit anyway. not that I use it much the digital camera at work has the same lead.....normally charge off my USB port

[Incursus]

Got me new phone (V3x).  One question why does it say 2.5G at the top?
Something wrong? should be 3G all the time?  sometimes say 2G can't find anything in the      

[55starchief]

My 3 phone used to display 2.5G most of the time. Basically its not quite a full 3G signal. You can do somethings but not all of the 3G stuff mate

[Incursus]

Thought so...cheers

So how bad is the battery life anyway? mine lasts on average 1-1/2 to 2 weeks.

I Wish, it needs charging about every 2 1/2 -3 days!

I'll have a look, its on charge at the moment so i'll try & turn it off then & see how long the Battery Lasts

Your not wrong about the battery life.  Fortunatly mine does let me change back to  900/1800.
