Does anyone (in the UK) know which variant the CarphoneWarehouse supplies? Is it the 4GB or 8GB ROM w/ NFC?

                      -8 GB, 1 GB RAM (6036Y)

                      On the 8GB(6036Y) you are left with 5.5GB~,which is pretty good in my opinion.As for the apps,not all of them can be moved to the sd card(as it happens in most new androids), but you can set you sd card as primary storage from phone settings.

                            first two charges battery life was 40hrs with normal usage(2 hours on wifi, little gaming, 1 hour of 3G dialing, camera testing)...

                            then, battery life dropped to 20-25 hrs with same usage but i noticed that the android OS consumes about 70% of battery charge...

                            can someone check battery information (SETTINGS -> BATTERY MANAGEMENT-BATTERY) and post them here???

                            except this problem, very good phone, nice design, good screen, fast, sound on headphones GREAT...
