Help finding new deal!

nej

I want to get a Nokia N91. I think I want it on O2 but I can't find a good enough deal anywhere.

What I want is:

Free Handset
£30 line rental
200+ minutes
Some texts (100 is more than enough).

I found a deal a few weeks ago that had the handset at £19.99 which I suppose was Ok (I'd rather not pay anything though), but that deal has gone now and it's now £39.99 - too much.

Any help here? I'm currently on Orange so probably can't get an Orange deal, although I could try. I'm annoyed about their itemised billing though.

    Hi nej.

    Have a look at the orum's search feature (I'm doing this right now myself) for 'tariff comparison site' or similar. There are a few good ones out there, and whereas many are just mirrors to others, the information on them is mostly accurate, but remember to always check with your network provider.

    Manyof the sites focus on cashback deals, 12 months free on 12 months contracts, but a couple also allow you to search by handset. I too want a high end Nokia, anything above an N70 will do, and thats the route I'm taking. Sorry, saw your thread before I found the site I was looking for, otherwise I'd have just listed it here, but it shouldn't be too hard to find on here.

    Cheers and take care.

  • Nej, I would hold on a couple of weeks. The handset was hyped for so long that now it's here it is not selling as it's way bigger and bulkier than people thought. Prices are bound to drop to clear some stock.

    Ah, OK sorry I missed the fact that the handset was mentioned. Right, scrap the bit about selling it then.

    Cheers and take care.

    I must admit when I saw it, it did put me off a little with the size, but the features are so good.

    Are there any other phones with a proper MP3 player built-in of similar capacity?

    Hello. Don't know if you're a Nokia man like me, but maybe the Sony Ericsson Walkman phones might be to your liking? They are also quite chunky but they still pack a punch. I had a couple (W800 and W810) in a couple of weeks ago nd even I wanted to just keep them they looked that good. Alas, my moral side kicked in and I sent them off to the customer who ordered them :(:D

    Cheers and take care.

    Definately a Nokia man and have been for 10 years. I did once stray to a Motorola on 3 but scurried back to a proper network and proper phone as soon as I could.

    Would maybe consider a Sony though. What sort of capacity do they have?
