I got mine from the Orange shop for £34.99. Still TOO expensive. It works wonders in pitch black though (as long as the subject is less than a meter away. Otherwise it's useless. I dissagree about night mode, if anything it makes the picture even worse!

I agree SE do rip you off charging £40 for 6 white LEDs! Still, I couldn't resist and lashed out £40 on one and well, I think it was worth it. True you can use it as a flash (which is only minimally effective so don't get your hopes up if you're a pro photographer (as if you would be using a T610!)). Also I've found that if you're using the timer setting on the camera the flash doesn't trigger in time with the camera so you can't use it on that setting.
However, what makes the Flash unit worth buying is its torch functionality. It has 3 options on the accessories menu:
Continuous - Excellent as a torch when you're drunkenly trying to find your way home. Also the batteries will never go flat unnoticed, like a normal torch. It lasts for ages too
Stroboscope - Kewl for when you're in the pub getting drunk and some dancey music comes on and you turn on your mini strobe and start dancing (ahem!)
SOS - Morse code SOS - when all else fails after getting lost on some bleak mountainside when drunk, you can flag down a passing helicopter.
Unfortunately you can't use the phone whilst the flash is in torch/accessory mode but there you go, life isn't perfect, huh
All in all, great! Glad I bought it, even if it was the full £39.99, and far better than any nok accessory
