The reports don’t factor the commitment which a customers needs to give for a particular Price Plan for a period of 24 Months in the case of AT&T. For O2 the commitment is for 18 months with selected plans. But, if we calculate other cost like montly rental for voice, i.e., 69.99 (USD), the total cost of ownership for the period of 24 months for a 8 GB model comes around Rs.81000/-! The total cost of ownership for O2 is around Rs.200000/- over a period of 18 months. In first look it looks high, but in long term, it is still cheaper in India. So, don't stop urself from buying this lovely gadget... Hitesh Hi all

Can you do hotmail/yahoo/gmail on it? Also, how's the web browser? I test browsers by seeing if it can handle an animated gif by going to m.wund.com, typing in a zip code and then clicking on "Animated Radar". Some phones animate this and some don't. Does this phone animate gifs? I want to use this phone, if I buy it, for doing e-mail on the go and to check weather radar. Question, they say you can do e-mail on it.

It has swivel grip to release in shooting anytime and it's very easy interface with simple button, also excellent optical zoom (34x). Even though it's SD grade video, MX20 is cost effective one.
