sorry guys, my mate who gave me the "news" just rang and told me it was a
crap rumour.
apparently it started after a few people reported their website was down.
but turned out it was a just a server outage.

Can anyone help with this weird handset problem?
- I have two handsets (both Phillips Savvy's).
- I have two Optus Prepaid SIMS, one a few years old, one brand new.
- I want to use the new SIM in the better conditioned of the two

Any user reports?
Particularly interested in how the keys on the side of the phone "work"; ie
do they get in the way when holding the 'phone, etc?
