Shocking. Sony Ericsson W810i.

Either i've become Internet illiterate overnight, or there actually is no remotely good deals for the W810i. On 12 month contract, Orange offer the best deal with 200m/1000t, for £30pm. That's a student offer, too.

Anyone else had any more luck? Bearing in mind it needs to be 12 month contract, any network, with a good minute/text bundle.

Argh!

    Oh my. That's a pretty deal. I'm guessing that's an individual package you've negotiated? Otherwise, give me that number.

    Well considering it is a pretty new phone, you won't get any good deals just yet for it. Wait a few months.

    i found a plan for £20 a month on https://www.orange.co.uk, you get 100 free text and 100 free minutes, this offer is a web exclusive plan.

    http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/yourplan/online now chose 12 month plans and the £20 box and continue, now continue the additional services and select w810i for free. hope this helped

    I saw the deals Orange were offering. Bizarrely, once you've selected your choices, their website declines to give you a 'continue' button, hence you're stuck on your order page.

    Looks like i'll be sticking to ol' 02.

    Online Off Peak 500 (12 month contract)

    £25pm, 500 texts, 500 mins.

    Furthermore, although i'm looking for a new phone, i'm due for upgrade, on o2 next month. I have a not so genius plan...

    Take advantage of upgrade. Get myself most potentially expensive phone they offer me, then cancel contract, and the next natural step would be eBay.

    Would that work??

    Yeah that would work fine...apart from the 12 month contract that you'll agree to when taking the upgrade. So the sale price of your expensive phone will need to be at least as much as 12xline rental so you can pay off the contract when you cancel it.
