There will
be a point in time I don’t have to concern myself with UIQ, especially as UIQ
Tech has gone into administration.
O2
obviously decided to bail out of their remaining UIQ inventory with a knock
down shop sale of the now defunct Motorola Z10 at only £80 on Pay as You Go (though
O2’s web site still shows the higher price).
Though there is no touch screen or WiFi it does offer some great media
features for the price. Some astute
buyers are flogging these off at £140 on eBay.
Other
bargains should follow, especially the Sony Ericsson G900 with a 5Mpx camera,
WiFi and 3G (though no HSPA). As a final
cheerio to my favourite touch screen platform (after the iPhone) the G900 would
make a good choice for a disposable media phone (well almost).
