ok dont worry this is the last post i'll make! :), I've been researching this phone and it seems pretty good, especially the picture quality of the camera.
Ideally I wanted a PDA style phone, do you guys reckon that its likely one will become available if I wait for a few months?, I'm just thinking if its not likely then I might as well go for this deal as I just want the best handset I can have on a free 12month deal.

Thanks :money:

  • You may not have a choice! My friend ordered it from e2save last week and got an email today that they are "awaiting stock". Seems similar to the fiasco last month with the W800i 12 month free deal where most orders were eventually cancelled http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=159383&page=1&pp=10&highlight=w800i

    Oh, darn :(
    seemed like the perfect phone as well!, I'll give them a ring to see if I can get any more info.
    Thanks for the reply!

    You can get a new one from Cool New Mobile (CNB)
    http://www.coolnewmobile.co.uk/34

    This is a 12 month contract on Orange and free for 12 months (via cashbacks). I have taken up a contract with this company and I think they are the same company as Phonebox Direct (PBD) as they have the same Contact Us details. It has not been time to make a claim yet, but I sent my paperwork last week and I received an email confirmation on tuesday from a contract I took out with PBD last November saying my claim is being processed. :) Go through Quidco to get an extra £35 back.

    That looks like a good deal however after a little searching on the forums theres not much detail on their reliability, e2save seem to have a good reputation, I really dont want to risk it :)
    Thanks for the link tho!

    I phoned up to check stock status and they said they should be getting some next week, I ended up going for it over the phone (my first contract phone!), on the downside I'm really annoyed with myself cos I totally forgot about the quidco account I had opened, I could of got some cashback with that!, I'm really trying not to think about it, lol.

    oh well, you win some you lose some.
  • cancel your contract with them that you did over the phone and then order on line through quidco- it should still accept the order (hopefully). Either that or phone them back and explain the sitaution as it is an extra £31.50 sweetener to a good deal from in my opinion a reliable company.

    I did phone up and it can be cancelled however if I apply again it would mean another credit check, so never mind I'll just stick with this.

    Well, I did go for the K750i deal by CoolNewMobile but after 10 hours, the more I read the more suspicious I became. So I started to calling them to cancel the order.

    After more than 6 calls starting from yesterday till today I finally got it cancelled...phew.

    Anyway, now I think CoolNewMobile, PhoneBoxDirect & e2save are all one company with different name/registration. Because,

    1. When rang CoolNewMobile 0870 042 9184 to cancel the order, I was greeted with "PhoneBoxDirect".

    2. The cancellation confirmation email I got is from "Mobile Affiliates Limited <websales@e2save.com> "

    so there you go.

    Interesting info ikoky.

    Talking of emails, I havent even received a confirmation email from e2save, I did spell it out over the phone so cant be a spelling mistake, maybe I get a confirmation once it comes into stock.
