It is the imminent expiry of the current live services on my 940 that prompted the purchase - when you take the £47.50 i would have paid for renewing those into account I got the 1005 for £95!! |

Just wanted to let everyone know about Amazon offering the 1005 for only £143. Not sure why but the price has dropped by over £100 in the last couple of days.
