Sony Ericsson W800i best deals

The best deal I've found for this phone is a 12 month contract featuring:
£30 line rental
£3.99 for first 5 months then the £30 for the next 7 months
200 anytime/network minutes and 100 texts a month
3 months free insurance
(free phone)

This is at dialaphone, and they also offer £45 cashback through a certain link. After searching quite extensively nothing matches that-is there anywhere that does? Or possibly a small extra cost for a free iPod or more minutes?

Thanks!

    in Orange stores £25/month for 200 xnet minuts.1st 6 moths half price line rental(i.e.£12.50)
    also they'll give £50 for TRADE IN(you can give your absolutly old phone.)
    you can go for min. tariff after 6 months.
    so it will cost you
    £12.50*6months=£75
    £18(App. min.line rental)*6months=£108
    £75+£108=£183total line rental-£50 old phone=£133 for 12 months.
    also no problem of cash back.

    Although, on a like-for-like basis the first offer is probably best as it includes 1200 texts p.a., which would have to be added to the other 2 plans.
    But, no cashback is good!

    Keep your eye on OSPS as I recently got a 'Clearance' W800i on O2 200mins xnet + 100 text for £30.99 pm, 7 months free. Total outlay for the year £154.95 via cashback.

    Getting them to pay up cashback seems to be the biggest problem....

    Do orange need the charger and manual for trade in offers or is it just phone and charger?

    Thanks

    Thanks, but the original offer (also mentioned in the 2nd post) still works out best-as it includes the free texts. I was tempted by some Orange offers, but my big problem with them is signal coverage, particularly in my uni where it just doesn't work properly, so want to steer clear from them.

    I will try some high street stores as I was surprised to read Orange stores have quite a good deal, otherwise the Dialaphone still works out best with £172.95 for 12 months (inc £12 cashback from quidco and £45 you at work link). Though are they good with cashback? And after 12 months, I know it's possible to worm a better deal out of them-but would I do that with Dialaphone or 02 themselves?

    Thanks for all the help, much appreciated!!
