Why do all the shopping links lead me to prices for Samsung TVs, instead of the T-Mobile Pulse?

I have got one of these, and I agree with most of the positive points, except that the battery life is not as good as you say it is, and the Touchpal keyboard is nice,but the spacebar is too small, so I frequently hit the letter B instead of space.
Also, you decline to mention that this handset is available on pay as you go for £137! I love my pulse though :)

I bought one of these a few weeks ago on PAYG when t-mobile were having a 33% off all PAYG handsets, so picked it up for £101 including a £10 topup. For that price there's nothing to beat it. Got it unlocked for about £12 and have it running on my O2 contract, I'd have kept it on the t-mobile PAYG SIM if they had better coverage where I live since the SIM gives unlimited Texts and 40mb data/day for a month if you have topped up by £10 the month before.

Just read the review properly, there are no light or proximity sensors, but the rest of it seems pretty much accurate.
