    update.

    spoke to them again last night, managed to get them to agree to 2 free N70's, 1 with 600mins/100texts for £45/month and the other with 130mins/50 texts for £25/month, these are both xnet anytime, they said i should wait till end of this week as i am then on my twelve month of my contract and could make this deal even better with minutes...

    does this sound good sofar, I think it does, whent into high street store and they wanted £250 for each upgrade to N70 - ouch. or can i get more????

    let me know what you think guys

    Just my semi-informed opinion, browuk, but I reckon you've probably got as good a deal as you're gonna get.

    You're certainly a lot better off than you were on Friday, eh?

    Well done for persevering.

    :D

    I was offered 25GBP for 500 mins+100texts/month and 25GBP upgrade to Orange SPV1500 just yesterday... I think you can do better...

    Hi mekondelta, sounds like a good deal, however, i think maybe all my power has gone into the phone, although the spv 1500 is a great bit of kit, the value of it is no where near the N70, how did you get the talk plan, did you give them a comparison to another network, if so which one, I know 3 do the same plan - 500/100 for £30, are your minutes xnet anytime?

    thanks for taking the time to reply here.

    I used the 16months 1/2 price on 18month contract with TMobile Flext (35/month plan) through cpw. Are you sure the Nokia is that good? The SPV is a PDA isn't it?

    well from what ihave read and from what i want out of a phone, I think the N70 is right up my street, i currently have the SPV hence my statement about it and yes it is a full PDA-more so than a phone really lol but i have 2 PDA's an Ipaq 2210 and a XDA2i just want a semi normal phone now to go with car kit hehe

    I've had my N70 for two weeks, my first Nokia, past 5yrs I've had Ericssons which I loved.
    I'm loving it, and the more I use it the more I like it.
    if i had known then what i know now

    nice to hear, thanks, i have always had nokia's, i was going to get the 6680 last year but the release date kept being put back so ended up going with the SPV and yes i do love it but time to go back to nokia.
