Motorola were kind enough to send me an email just now, informing me that the Motorola V8 Luxury is available at Phones4U (one of the well-known high-street retailers in the UK)….
Obviously we’ve known about the V8 for quite some time, but it’s interesting to see some direct marketing email supporting it – so I became a ‘click-through’ victim and followed the link….
Delving in to the Phones4U website that the email links to, it would appear you have to be signed up to an Orange 18-month ‘Dolphin’ contract to get the handset for free. That being the case, I decided to check out the SIM-free price over at Expansys – turns out it’s a wallet-stretching £474.95 (as of 18/1/08). Crumbs!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
