    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
