I remember when this used to be priced at £399.99 on the Carephone Warehouse website, huge drop in price for a very good phone - just missing a camera :( (can get add on one) but still great value for money - includes Windows Mobile, a colour TFT screen and an SD/MMC slot.

Buy it here:http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-express-esnfree-Phones?CATEGORY=HANDSET&PAGE=0

Free delivery and don't forget £2.50 Greasy Palm cashback for this.

Josh :D
The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)

    I'm sure this is a great phone but it's not a sim free Sony S700i!

    I need one of those! Cheap! Please!

    ;D

    Info please? Price? Bought from where? Contract or PAYG?

    Anything you're not happy with?

    ;D

    Well I paid £100 in the first week of its release, its on a £15 a month contract which is 100 x-net minutes & 50 txts. Got direct from vodafone and its the best phone yet (I have had about 20) the menu is great (identical to the k700i with some additions) looks amazing although its not the smallest but then it does have so much inside - whenever someone sees the back they always think its a real digital camera ;D The quality is amazing, the best place to get it on contract is phones 4 u as its free on a £30 a month price plan and includes a bluetooth headset ;) Any questions just ask

    Thanks for reply. ;D I'll have a look at the phones4u website.

    I wasn't fond of the idea of contract as I'm worried about bills, but it may well work out a fair bit cheaper. :-/

    Phoned CPW to see what they say about pricematch. I found the phone for £389.99 sim free at https://www.livetelecoms.co.uk but don't know anything about them.

    That's the lowest I've seen (other than the MSE'r who has a mobile website and who said he could supply for £365 delivered - again though, don't know anything about them.)  :-/ I was hoping I could get a price match from CPW as I've dealt with them before.

    They wont pricematch for sim free, but will do it on contract for 200 mins £30 month/ £70 handset cost.

    Still worried about phone bills though. Temptation to overuse and end up with big monthly bills might be a problem.  :-/

    Oh why is it so hard to make a decision.  >:(

    Call carphone up, tell them you want it free on a £30 a month priceplan, you may need to call a few times until you get someone willing to do a deal - don't be put off if someone says no. After 6 months of being on the £30 priceplan you could change it down to a £15 one?? Buying sim-free isn't cheap so if you want it contracts the cheapest way to go - you wont regret it ;D
    If you are worried about the bill some networks can set up a monthly limet - if you don't want to spend more than £30 it won't let you although i'm not sure if they still offer this service?

    Oh and thanks to JPS for posting this, it is kind of tempting for that price - my mate said he was going to order one ;)
