barclays first addition mobile insurance

rajuv

my claim was approved last week by barclays first additions but they don't have the blackberry bold 9000 in stock.
the offered me £316 or a nokia n97.
but i only want a blackberry bold 9000 which i made the claim on.
they said it can take upto 6 weeks if i want the blackberry
what can i do?

thanks in advance

If they haven't got it, they haven't got it.

Sounds like you can either wait up 6 weeks or take the money and buy a new sim free 9000.

buy a mint condition one off ebay and rest in peace with over £100 profit.

i love the blackberry bold 9000 but it is prone to getting faulty so i don't really want to buy one from ebay and can't buy a new one as they cost around £400.
think i'l just have to wait till they get it in stock.
in the mean time i have to carry on using my Prehistoric nokia 1600

£400 ?
Saw one on ebay earlier for £150 with 50 minutes left, brand new boxed.

You could always ask for a curtsey phone to use in the meantime, or borrow one from a friend till it comes into stock.

I'd take the cash and buy from http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blackberry-8900-curve-p18051.htm?referer=FR_PROD-PR1 or similar

i just checked ebay and they are going for around £300

if you look there are many going for less, especially those locked to networks. View completed listings.
