Just had this caught for me, would appreciate peoples views on this name.

A Big thanks to all at Dropsystem for their services.
 
Nice catch and worth having.

Very competitive market so good luck with a site if thats your plan.
 
As a domain name on its own probably not huge value being an org.uk and also a hyphen, but obviously its key word rich which will help seo for any sort of site developed on it. Overall its a good catch
 
Thanks for your replies, still undecided as whether to develop or flip it quickly, perhaps a few beers tonight will help me decide! :wink:
 
let me know if you flip it and what you want for it if you do :)
 
Google Stats for Mobile Phones Keywords

4,090,000 exact for October
£2.14 CPC

Reasonable sized Market ;)

What would people here value this name at?
 
i don't like it sorry for many reasons:

extension : org.uk = organization don't see why you would want an organization for mobile phones unless your are the regulator

hyphen = resale value plummets with an hyphen and it rules out big corporate interest

could you rank the site,there are some very large mobile phone companies/manufacturers vying for this term so would take a huge budget time and effort to rank it.

good luck with the site

Fair comment, but there are plenty other people that will use the .org.uk extension.

hyphen = resale value plummets with an hyphen and it rules out big corporate interest

Apart from the likes of T-Mobile, Viking Direct as two examples who still use a hyphenated domain

Nobody makes a living in this game without putting in time and effort. A keyword rich domain targeting the UK market, it could be worse.

good luck with the site

Thanks for taking the time to give me your views, much appreciated.
 
Whilst I'm not going to give an exact valuation, I feel there is some significant value here given the sector. I feel the .org.uk extension is fine for SEO purposes, and I don't mind hyphens either, as it makes the domain easier to read in the SERPs. Having the keyphrase in the domain (albeit hyphen separated) should help with SEO in the important online sector of mobile phones and therefore this was an excellent catch and I'm sure you'll receive some reasonable offers on it.
