T-mobile MDA Vario III with Sat Nav - Misprice

My contract was due for renewal and so I was looking for offers on the t-mobile website.

Was surprised to find the MDA Vario III with Sat Nav (copilot) on a 12 month Combi 30 plan for £29.99 Plus you can get £35 Quidco making the phone effectively free.

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/phones/pay-monthly/t-mobile/mda-vario-iii-copilot/combi/12mth-combi-30/allowances/

I asked them to do a web price-match and the agent refused saying this offer was too good to be true:mad:

I think it is a misprice since if you took a higher value or longer contract you will pay a lot more for the phone which does not make sense.

I've been using HTC phones and they are great. Haven't used this phone but specifications are very good.

If anyone has any luck with getting them to web-match this for renewal then let me know.

    Have been looking for this since last autumn and unable to afford, took it out this morning. Thanks so much for the heads up.

    a couple of weeks? Vario III has only been out for less than 8 months.

    The Vario IV (HTC Raphael) won't be out for a while yet :) And the Vario III is a fantastic phone.

    a couple of weeks?

    I've seen late August/early September being quoted for Tmobile, so, maybe a bit longer than a couple of weeks.

    The Compact IV (HTC Diamond) should be out this week or next, too
