    Hmmm seems the web filter isn't as harsh after 5pm - can load it now :confused:

    Looks good - £180 isn't that bad either I suppose although factoring in the costs of a BB friendly price plan I can't see why you'd want to buy one SIM free.

    I've heard of handtec before - they sell a lot of HTC devices.

    Might get your p45 soon if you are not careful! :eek: I take it you work for a mobile company? Working on a holiday?

    £180 is not bad for the phone but its available on contract too for around £300 over 24 months (bound to be a cheaper contract offering than that too).

    :rotfl: Nah - I'm a security assistant with local authority (with nothing better to do than surf the internet, seriously - IT should remove the restrictions on my account IMO) - used to work for O2 Customer Service though.

    Going to need push email at least to make BlackBerry worthwhile, not to mention data and calls and texts and stuff - why do you want SIM free, OP? :)

    Sim free because my wife already has an older blackberry and a tariff she is happy with. Getting her a newer one sim free means when she upgrades she can get discounted line rental instead of a new network phone.

    Er, if you upgrade, you're still with the same network. So you could save a few quid by buying one on that network! (unless of course you meant otherwise).
    The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster! :)

    I've bought a couple of mobiles from them in the past, will consider them in the future.
