T-Mobile Vivacity - discontinued already?

[lazyhour]

I was in a T-Mobile shop today, hoping to have a play with the Vivacity. I couldn't find it, and asked an assistant about it. She told me that the Vivacity had been discontinued 'a few weeks ago' and would now only be available online - and presumably only for a while, until they run out of handsets.

Has anyone else heard about this? It seems really odd to discontinue a seemingly-good phone that was only released in November last year - barely 3 months ago!

Any thoughts? Should this be a cause for worry about the phone itself?

Interesting! Does that mean my phone will become a rarity and more valuable?
