How many 3 Handsets have you had?

[A1c]

Just wondering what the avareage customer has had in terms of 3 handsets. Early adopters that have chosen to remain will have had upgrades by now. Some folks will have used ThreePay handsets to rid themselves of previous rubbish. Maybe you have had your phone 'swapped' for technical reasons.

Just how many attempts have you made to get an acceptable level of service from your 3 handset to date.

If your handset tally exceeds the maximum value above please tell us how many and why you have been so persistant! No prizes for the person with the most 3 handsets!

Thanks in advance for taking part.

(On-Topic comments welcome as ever).

[Looney]

Just the 6 for me !

Order of preference (Best first)
A925 (esp . now it's on o2)

A920

e228 (impressed me !)

A835 (unfortunutely the network let this one down for me)

e616v ( would have been third -but had trouble yesterday with a dissapearing phone contacts folder - which interestingly has come back !)

e808y (worst mobile device ever !!!)


As you see my preferences reflect my experiences of the phones - not their spec

[encoderX]

None of the above (negative) reasons!

I've had 2 phones:

NEC e228 - ThreePay - Great phone and features, operates just as good on the 3 network - wanted to try other 3 phones.

LG U8120 - Contract - Great looking phone, mountains of features, Easy menu and highly configurable. Compliments 3 well - still have this phone.

Kind regards

[hecatae]

thats all the 3 handsets I've had

[Gunner]

Woah! Stick a vote in 10+ then :P

I've only had the e606. Considering a cheap Threepay to try the network performance out again, don't want to get burned twice.

Why so many hecatae? :S

[chaslam]

hecate, You've had 3 7600! :eek:

I have a a925 and a a835.

[hecatae]

I was given the e808s n & y for free, the e606 for free, the a920 and a835 for free, all from the same mate who did not want them anymore.

i've had 3 7600s, 1st one with my contract i sold for £100, then when the new 3pay deal came out i bought 2 at £45 each.

my a830 was with my 3 to go sim last year.

I've had so many because i been given the opportunity to.

and I put my vote in 6-10 before i posted so i cant vote in 10+

[A1c]

"I was given the e808s n & y for free, the e606 for free, the a920 and a835 for free, all from the same mate who did not want them anymore."

A mate eh? Are you sure the person likes you? 3 x NEC horrors and the dodgy a920! What on earth is this person about? Do they like pain? do they think you do? Bizzarre!

[sp1n3uk]

I've had:
7600
e616
e228
Waiting for e616V.
Thing is, I get bored dead easy.

[Redband]

I've Got
2 x A835
1 x LG 8110
1 x NEC 616V

All in good working order, I still use all 4 as i get bored as well :)

[pure ginge]

just the one a835

although i have been through my 2nd pair of headfone's.....alll i do is cycle 4 miles a day isn't much to ask of a pair of headfones

[Killahurts]

Totally misleading and biased poll aimed at giving people the impression that by having lots of phones its all because of "poor handsets, swaps for technical reasons, or swaps to improve levels of service."

As many people have said often people change on all networks for numerous reasons - because they want to keep up with the latest phones coming out being one.

So Im afraid this is just the usual anti 3 nonsense from the usual suspect as his opening remarks show...

[NAZA]

had a e606 to start with which i exchanged for an a835 n the basis that the 606 was the worst mobile device i have ever had the misfotune to carry about. Am about to change again but waiting for release of e1000.

I agree with killahurts somewhat on this though although i changed the first time cus the 606 was a pile of **** i am happy with a835 unless something better comes along (ie e1000) cant really blame three for me wanting the latest peice of technology as soon as it comes to market. Speaking of which i want a Sony Qrio!

[motoman]

OK, here goes!

Phones I've had (in chronological order of purchase):

Motorola a835 (£64.99 The Link :b )
NEC e313 (£39.99 Amazon.co.uk)
NEC e228 (£44.99 M_obile Fu_n) (£15 Calls Inc) (sold on eBay)
Nokia 7600 Grey (£44.99 CPWH) (£15 Calls Inc)
Nokia 7600 Gold (£44.99 CPWH) (£15 Calls Inc) (sold on eBay double price)
NEC e616v (£39.99 Amazon.co.uk) (£15 Calls Inc) (awaiting delivery)
NEC e338 (£49.99 Amazon.co.uk) (£15 Calls Inc) (awaiting delivery)

Tom :p

[Coltch]

I'm currently on my third..

A920 (A925 s/w) Current everyday phone, works a treat and seems to hold it's signal quite well plus I get to mess about with picodrive!!!.

A835 x 2 First one went belly up after meeting a puddle :eek: , second one still working perfectly.

I would like to upgrade the A920 to an A1000, but don't think I'll be doing that just yet.

[Looney]

Just worked out an crude average on what we had so far - I deemed anyone in the 4-6 catergory to have 5 & anyone in 6 - 10 to have 8 for simplicities sake

it works out to an average of 3.5 handets per person !! which is a hell of a lot for a network that has only been running a year & 9 months

No doubt Killahurts will insist this is normal & people on all networks change phones 3-4 times a year - but we all know the truth

So how are Three's subscriber numbers worked out ? are they on handset sales or actual activated sims ? If it is the former - then is it fair to say that number needs to be divided by 3.5 to get a true idea ?

[Alba]

Only 3 so far.

Motorola A920
NEC e616
LG u8110

Waiting for 2 more 3G handsets
1--Motorola A100 on 3
2--Sony ericsson V800 on Vodafone

[Killahurts]

Miffed your analysis like this poll is not just crude its absolute nonsense.

It ignores the fact that:

1) many people on this site bought loads of 7600s at knock down prices to flog on ebay
2) It ignores the fact that many people using this site are phone nerds and change their phones more often than they change their underwear - regardless of what network they are on
3) It ignores the fact that just because they change their phones often it may not be for the biased negative reasons posted on this poll

And most of all it ignores the fact that this whole poll was started by someone who is a known knocker, with an open agenda, as someone who's been paid by 3s opponents

[Looney]

1) many people on this site bought loads of 7600s at knock down prices to flog on ebay




Good point Killahurts - Those 7600's will have added to the figures too and I doubt if many of them ended up on the Three subnetwork

[crusher21]

i had
e313 exchanged
e313 still working
e228 just gone back for the 3rd time exchanged
e228
e616v

[new2three]

Just 1 (my current phone)

[Killahurts]

Miffed you could condense your answer even further and just admit you dont think full stop when ever you post on here.

Still I'm happy to take your praise.

And if 3s figures are inflated - its only down to certain characters claiming to have a 3 phone on here when the reality is often very different ;-)

[haveagoade]

THREE yes 3 3x nec e616v thre mobiles all doing nicely thanks ;)

[A1c]

Wow - over 80% of those posting have had more than one 3 mobile phone.

Over 50% have had 3 or more! (Same as me!)

OK so its a 3G enthuiasts site but even taking that into account it appears that 3UK are paying dearly for earlier mistakes with users getting DIY upgrades by the 'backdoor' by buing pre-pay handsets. The pattern seems realistic with older NEC's being dumped in favour of Nokias and newer NEC's. With the network just 18 months old and with millions being ploughed into aquisition it appears that many 'new' handset sales are simply replacing older disfunctional devices. With no 3 separate USIM's available officially most of the old handsets seem destined to be discarded. The above proves that early products have not been good long-term investments for the network and recent frantic aquisition activity may be pouring petrol on what seems to be a heafty blaze! Its sad that 3G handsets have now become items of such little value, the market value of popular models has plummeted on sites like ebay lately.

The cheapie NEC's and Nokias are selling for sure but as stated above may be exported or used on other networks and it appears many are replacing older 3 offerings - all things considered not good news for a network about to encounter a new range of competitive products and services. I suspect this 'shake-out' is the last real opportunity for 3 to make up for previous woes and as a current subscriber I hope they will be able to shoulder the cost of what seems to be going on so I can get the promised value from the rest of my contract period.

[haveagoade]

And I just love the unbiased (NOT) form of question with which this survey was launched.........its getting rather farcical now 3gusr.

Did you once work for the Kremlin as a communist government market reasearcher?

[Killahurts]

Wrong wrong wrong

Still i look forward to a similar poll on all the other networks. I mean im assuming you'll do one on the people that keep you in a living??

And am i the only one to have noticed that the better 3 do - the more desperate 3GSU cries foul on behalf of his paymasters at Voda and T Mobile...

More so have you noticed how - without asking any of the people who answered the above polled - he has assumed their reasons for swapping phones.

Keep taking the money from 3s opponents 3GSU...

[haveagoade]

Does my 3 handsets count or not........bearing in mind I/we are happy with them all...........or does it mess up your statistics?

I claim this election null and void due to election FRAUD.

[Killahurts]

Cheeky!!!

I mean the answers obvious. Matters not what you have said.

3GSu decrees you have had 3 phones as the earlier two were crap/suffered from technical problems

You cant have been happy with them.

This isnt a democracy you know. Its 3GSU cloud cuckoo land...

[A1c]

What a pity that some dont like democracy! This has been a popular poll (thanks to all who have voted - keep them coming). Just because you dont like the results that's no reason to doubt the validity of the responses provided.

Free speech is a wonderful thing and its pityful that some would openly advocte restricting it! (There are some countries that have that sort of society - perhaps a move to one would suit?)

[haveagoade]

Yeah democracy ala KREMLIN stylee.

3gusr its a fact your election democracy is RIGGED.............. FACT

YOU MESSED MY VOTE........NULL AND VOID

[Killahurts]

Agreed - this is not democracy - this is a clear ABUSE of people's voting intentions.

People were asked by you to say how many handsets they have had with 3.

You did not ask them why they bought new handsets. Yet you claim that its because of network instability/poor handsets etc etc

Not just because they wont the latest handset.

I agree with Haveagoade that this poll is corrupt and should be removed.

The more you say otherwise 3GSu the more you are showing your a muppet who takes money off other networks to knock 3...

[Killahurts]

And Haveagoade - you are clearly right to feel that your vote has been misrepresented on this issue.

Can i suggest you email the moderators direct to complain at:

miles@www.3g.co.uk

If you feel the same way please also send in your complaints to Miles - and that applies to anyone who has voted or who believes that people should not be able to abuse polls in this way

[A1c]

Do indeed! The poll has an explanation attached and those who choose to vote do so having read the comments etc. Members can also leave comments about their reasons for changing handsets etc - so no-one is being misrepresented whatsoever (except me who has to put up with flamers following me round this board repeating assumprions in an attempt to discredit genuine opinion).

What a shame that there are those who stoop to trivialising serious discussion with silly personal playground type attacks every time opinions surface that they disagree with!

[Killahurts]

Yes do indeed for his is the proof!

Of the 30 people voting - only 12 have expanded - thats 40% of respondents.

Of those Naza agreed this poll is biased

Haveagoade had 3 phones - all of which are still working

Encoder X said his number of phones "was not related to the negative reasons posted here" by 3GSU

Redland and Spin change their phones because they get bored

Pure ginge had just had one

Motoma bought and sold his on ebay

Coltech had 3 - one dropped in a puddle, the other was replacement and an upgrade

Hecatae had 3 phones for free.

Thats the vast majority of people explaining there reasons in clear disagreement with the premise £GSU is attaching to this poll.

All should complain to miles@3g.co.uk that they have been misrepresented

Only 3 out of 30 have said that they have upgraded their phones due to problems.

THats 10%!

One Miffed is happy with his latest phone and the other 2 have working phones.

Thats this poll exposed and 3GSU has no right nor reason to spread his lies when talking about this poll...

[A1c]

And despite all the objections - 30+ folks have been happy to leave information attached. This poll was designed to find out how many 3 phones contributers have had and invites users to leave comments etc. The simple fact is that many here have had lots of phones and that is what the poll set out to find out primarily.

Now we know that most folks on here have had more than one go with a 3 handset. I think that information was worth finding out. There have already been many polls to acertain satisfaction levels etc. This one simply asks "how many 3 phones you have had". Nothing mis-representitive about that whatsoever!

[Killahurts]

Your lying again 3GSU

30 people have been happy to vote in this poll. They have not given you the right to misuse the informationhowever

30 people voted on how many handsets they had.

At no point did you ask why they changed.

And as my breakdown showed the overwhelming majority changed for positive reasons than the negative ones you espouse.

So why lie?

And believe it or not a lot of people dont read what you have to say any more and would have just voted without reading your biased utterings.

This poll should be removed as its misleading and has been abused.

If you agree with me register your comments with the site monitors at miles@3g.co.uk

[haveagoade]

Yeah my 3 three phone vote was cos I think they are ALL brill and excellent value for money..........THATS WHY I GOT 3 yes 3 REPEAT 3 AGAIN 3 three phones.

YOU 3gsur's misrepresented my and others votes as being one of disatissfaction.

Sorry to repeat myself but you (3gusr) seem to have difficulty understanding this.


SO AGAIN


Poll NULL and VOID.........reason election vote rigging.

[A1c]

No reply required - same old 'flaming'...... Utter thread pollution!

[Killahurts]

Hrdly

You have misrepresented my vote - my position

The only pollution is the way you have lied about my intention

Im not alone as you can see from above and the breakdown of comments where more people have explicitly said that they changed for positive reason than negative - and yet you twistedtheir words.

Haveagoade join me in reporting this abuse to the monitors by emailing miles@3g.co.uk

I have already h eard from others who have done this.

this abuse needs to be stopped

[haveagoade]

Done and dusted killa.......reported him........the berlin wall is about to fall!!!!! LOL

[Looney]

absolutely pathetic !

[haveagoade]

YES absolutley true a clear case of vote rigging. PATHETIC ... why would anyone want to do that, unless they had a hidden agenda.

[A1c]

I was'nt aware that users could change the votes cast!

Making a tally of the older handsets and noting what they have been replaced with kinda suggests that many have 'upgraded' both contract and 'pre-pay' 3 handsets very quickly indeed. One has to come to the conclusion that many will have been trying to improve their user experience. Nothing wrong with that really and at the cheap prices it's very painless presently for everyone except 3 UK!

[haveagoade]

Thats the trouble 3gusr you are always jumping to the wrong conclusions and presenting them as fact.

PLEASE give members on this site a bit of credit and stop treating us as MORONS

We dont need you to make our minds up for us THANKS

[haveagoade]

Note the lack of reply..........he just dont ENGAGE with me no more!

RESULT!!!!!!!

[A1c]

I simply put silly 'flamers' who post one-liner nonsense on 'ignore'!

Great facility if you want to avoid personal taunts and worthless repetitive tripe!

[Killahurts]

More nonsense from 3GSU - no matter how you twist and turn the facts are that you have lied and misrepresented views expressed not just by me, or haveagoade, but encoder x, spin3uk, pure ginge and the list goes on.

Many even made it prefectly clear when they filled in the poll that they had not changed phones for the negative reasons.

Only 3 out of 30 said that was thir reason for upgrading.

yet you lie.

you spin.

you deceive.

its about time this stopped.

[A1c]

Meanwhile despite the attempts to sabotage the poll - forum members continue to vote. Hardly surprising that many are just voting now and swerving from the nonsense that a couple of known intimidators have created.

If you have an opinion and want to explain to us all why you have felt it necessary to have more than one 3 handset - post your thoughts and dont be put off by the pollution.

Cheers!

[Killahurts]

"Attempts to sabotage the poll" - you've done that yourself.

Did you see me or anyone else object to this poll when it was purely there for the grounds it was intended ie to see how many handsets people had bought

Thats a big N O

All the controversy started when you misused the findings to spin your own anti 3 lies.

You sabotaged this poll no one else

It is now tainted by your deception and should be removed

[A1c]

All opinions are welcome regarding all interpretations of the stats here. Mine concur with some others posted previously and alternative views have been expressed. This is a forum for discusssion and this is a classic example of a poll that has produced results that folks can debate in a resonable and dignified manner....well some can anyway... others try and make a fuss etc and throw the rattle out of their pram!

I'm happy to leave things and repond in few days after some more folks have made their opinions known.

[Killahurts]

This poll has nothing to do with your interpretation and everything to do with your MISREPRESENTATION

A number of people of here have said that you have deceived people by misusing their vote - more so than people who have said that they switched their phone for the biased reasons you give.

If you wanted to retain the remnants of your credibility you would remove this thread.

[A1c]

I suspect the level of interest demands that this topic/poll remains. Discussion and participation are the lifeblood of this and any forum and atempts to stifle opinions are not compatable with the concept of a 'forum'.

All opinions are welcome (as was stated in the opening post) so long as they are on-topic. relevant, constructive and expand the discussion.

[Killahurts]

The level of interest in the poll ie the number of 3 phones you have had is totally different to your misrepresentation of the reasons why people have had more than one phone.

As for the concepts of a forum. I believe a forum and its polls should be based upon fact. Not lies or deceipt and i like many other people in this poll have registered our disguted at the fact that you have deliberately misrepresented our views.

If you feel the same register your views with Admin email: miles@3g.co.uk

[A1c]

Yep and remember to advise the admin that the person who advied you to do so has been posting misrepresentitive stuff about other contributers. (Hypocryte) I work for a telco according to the chants.... but I dont, never have, and dont think I ever will!

[haveagoade]

Heres another oneliner for 3gusr.......

POLL NULL AND VOID.........REASON;- ELECTION RIGGING

[Gunner]

Can I suggest those of you who disagree with the nature of this poll either ignore it or post your own?

I don't think anyone appreciates the constant reduction of almost every controversial (for whatever reason) thread on this forum to a flamewar.

[gajet]

3 x NEC 616's all returned faulty
1 x Nokia 7600 Stolen
1 x Moto a 925 OK but network restictions nullify reason for carrying such a big phone
1 x moto a835 still in use by me (ish)
1 x lg 8110 still in use by wife

[Taster]

NEC 616 ----- coz it was cool
NEC313 ---- coz it was cool and cheap
NOK 7600 --- coz it was differeent ---- not very good tho or clever fone

I got em coz I love em ....

BTW I have more than twenty GSM phones .

NEC 616 is coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[Taster]

OH and by the way 3GSU .......

You are a supplier of misinformation and are frequently incoerrect

i did not miss the point you where making
but whats wrong with free speech
and why you have to take things to hart

[Looney]

I think Crusher got straight to the point - and very accurate too on your synopsis of the problem crusher

KILLAHURTS are you sure its not you who as the problem

[Tebbs]

seems odd that we arent allowed to realise if something stated is obviously incorrect. Dont need a new mum to tell me if someones lying all the time thanks. Give us a little credit..

[haveagoade]

If your gonna do a poll do it fairly or dont bother at all you're wasting bandwidth with this.

[Geoneil]

I've just gone through a whole page of this thread (page 2) of yet another *****ing war betweeen 3GSU (who's original question was biased, implying that faulty handsets were the only reason to change) and Killahurts, who I think has a hidden agenda (along with haveagoade, graale00, taster and a few others) to stifle debate on this forum with pro 3 propaganda (ranting if you will)

How much of Hutchison's cash are you trousering eh? More or less than the amount you keep accusing 3GSU of pocketing?

And back on topic...

I have one 3 handset, a 3pay Motorola A835, it's the only 3 phone I've ever had and probably the only I will have for a while until 3 improve their service and their handset line-up (although I've heard some surprisingly good noises regarding the NEC e228)

[haveagoade]

I never stifle debate but I do like to stifle BIAS whenever wherever I see it.

I think I' ll soon have to support voda when all the ranter's start on them and their 3g service.

[Taster]

3GSU has spent the past year posting biased and misinformation smearing 3 and their partnerson several different forums . This has been proven time and time again.

He draws the criticism on himself

[Looney]

original question was biased, implying that faulty handsets were the only reason to change

Sorry I must have missed that bit - I thought he said "Some folks will have used ThreePay handsets to rid themselves of previous rubbish. Maybe you have had your phone 'swapped' for technical reasons." SOME and MAYBE are key words here ..... am I wrong ?

Still - little details like that perpetuate the argument a little when left out so what the hell eh ?

Also - He requested on topic comments - What do you think he meant by that ? what your favourite curry dish is ? your favourite Eastenders Character? (mines Zoe :) )
NO !! as you minds don't seem capable , ask a pre-schooler and they'll probably be able to tell you that he meant add comments as to why you upgraded - Now why would he do this if he wanted to have us all think phones were upgraded due to faults / dissatisfaction ?

WTF has happenned to this forum ? ovewr the last few weeks it has become full of petty minded ****s who twist every reasonable comment to sound like a conspiricy

[haveagoade]

HEY miffed

"Calm down dear, its only the TELEPHONE"

[haveagoade]

and with a tag OF "PROFFESIONAL THREE HATER" you really are a well balanced individual we should listen to????????????????.

Change yer tag and we might pay attention.........lol

[gajet]

:-) Where as Have-A-Go-Ade dosn't imply you just like to argue :-)
Just kidding there.

[haveagoade]

My tag refers to my actions on the RUGBY field ACTUALLY

[Looney]

Ahhh .... you're a rugby player - that explains a lot !

Whahey - lets all get blind drunk , sing loads of songs that we have cleverly altered to feature swearing & insults and pick on a small bloke (as there are 15 of us !)

See - I am familiar with the Rugby lifestyle !

[crusher21]

but Have-A-Go-Ade still likes to argue on and off the field

[crusher21]

Ahhh .... you're a rugby player - that explains a lot !

Whahey - lets all get blind drunk , sing loads of songs that we have cleverly altered to feature swearing & insults and pick on a small bloke (as there are 15 of us !)

that sounds like a normal saturday night down town lol

[haveagoade]

Calm down ladies its only the phone!

[gajet]

wa only meant to be a flippant joke, didn't expect it to get personal.

[haveagoade]

YEah gajet I was just trying to lighten things up a bit as well............not taken personally......lol.........I can take a joke dont worry.

SEe u again
cheers

[Killahurts]

And miffed - what you seem to miss in your desperate attempts at defending 3GSU (why do you do nothing else??) is that nowhere did he say in the opening tirade that people may also have changed phones just because they wanted to! there were no positive reasons - only negative.

and when people explained reasons for changing phones only 3 people said it was for negative reasons. the other 90% said it was for positive reasons and even slated 3GSU misuse of their votes.

But you cant accept that. What is that?

[A1c]

If (as has been stated) folks get bored quickly with handsets - that counts as a negative. Its understandable that one would get bored easily with some earlier handsets!

Still this has been a popular thread and its been interesting to read all of the comments so far (except for the silly stuff). Reading down the long list of responses it is noteworthy that there seems to be a core of folks who really have had their money's worth from 3 in terms of handsets!

Anyway keep the comments coming & thanks to those who have taken the time to vote and provide an insight.

[Killahurts]

Wrong again...

You yourself have said that people on here are basically phone nerds - the kind of people that like to keep up with new technology.

So changing phones is not a negative in that respect - however it does negate your take on people's votes AS THEY THEMSELVES HAS SAID

You have misued people's votes and thats the bottom line.

[haveagoade]

You gota hand it to 3gsuser he's got more spin than a WINDIES fast bowler.

[Tebbs]

Thought being a rugby man you'd know more about sport. If you are saying 3GSU has a lot of spin then he wouldnt have the spin of a fast bowler as on the whole they bowl quick with seam and swing not spin. On occasion quicks use a spin action but to produce a slower ball not with the intention of moving the ball, the windies are also not especially noted for this tactic.

Here endeth the first lesson

Andy

[haveagoade]

well I stand corrected .........but I think you got the general idea.........lol

Allright he'd got more spin than a Johnny Wilkinson pass! .........that better.

[sp1n3uk]

I for one am in agreement, not with you 3GSU, but with the fact that this poll has 'hijacked' my usage of 3G handsets.

Still, we all know how you work and that you do, occasionally come up with the goods, in this case though you have used the honest and open intentions of users to twist things to your own ends.

[sp1n3uk]

Oh, and getting bored with a phone has nothing to do with it's age, it's more to do with my short attention spa..................ooh, look, Britney naked!!!!

[Killahurts]

Well said spin - your comments are added to a long list of people who's views have been misinterpreted by someone with an open agenda to knock 3.

I suggest you send your complaints to the admin of this board as the vast majority of people who completed this poll did not base their vote upon the negative spin that has been placed upon it.

The vast majority stated they had changed their handsets for positive reasons.

Yet the originator of this poll ignored their views and claimed it was for negative reasons that fit his anti 3 stance as a former employee of 3s competitors.

[Geoneil]

Mr Troll strikes again!

Aren't you forgetting the petty little flamewar that 3GSU suffered against yourself and several 3 fanboys?

Yet the originator of this poll ignored their views and claimed it was for negative reasons that fit his anti 3 stance as a former employee of 3s competitors.

Where do you get your information?

You see spin - this is what happens when people's views are misused.

You get flamed for pointing the fact out.

Why do you think people like Geoneil do that?

(And incidentally Geoneil - if you read these boards you will know that 3GSU has admitted to working in a personnel capacity for not one but TWO of 3s competitors. His words not mine...up until Feb 2004)
