    Hello. I just wanted to raise one point about these high end phones. If we take the 2nd poster's offer, N80 at £35 per month, first 6 months half price. That means he'll effectively pay £315 for his phone, which is more expensive than the N91 now.

    Just a thought, but another option would be to buy the phone seperately, SIM free, then get a cashback contract with the same number of minutes/text (in this case 400/100) if possible or for cheaper line rental with another phone, then sell that phone. the saving you make may well be cheaper than your original single contract and phone deal.

    Just a thought.

    Cheers and take care.

  • You can downgrade after 6 months though.... so 6x £17.50 + 6x £20 = £225

    Think i might visit the Three shop tonight and see what i can get :)

    thanks all
