Lobster

I bought a Virgin Mobile Lobster as its a cheap WindowsMobile test device at £42 delivered with 200 minutes on PAYG.  Its a WM5 device but fine for testing.  You certainly wouldn’t want to use it as your phone, well not if you have any sense of style. 

Its unique feature is that it has a TV function which allows OTA streaming of TV pictures to the Lobster.  Now obviously this streaming requires some special equipment to function, in fact it looks like a full size TV has been stuffed inside the case its so big and thick.  I believe its called to Lobster because the case look like a lobster claw, just looks ugly to me.

Anyway, if you want one you can get it here http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/lifestyleLanding.do
