Really want a BlackBerry Bold 9700

Options
Hi all

I have been using all my ability to try and find out the cheapest way to get a Blackberry Bold 9700 every single day for the last one month.

I currently have 2 contracts:

1. 600m + 1000 txts + Free o2 to o2 - 18m - <£5p.m. (with CPW-O2 with cashback)
2. 200m + 400txts - 12m - £0 p.m. (with CPW-O2 with credit on account - upgrade coming in 2 months time.)

I really want to get a Bold 9700 or iPhone 3gs (but thats out of my budget).

I sincerely request all the clever deal spotters out there - to indicate me of a way of buying a 9700 + plus a blackberry bolt on which costs me around £10/month.

It can be on any network, any minutes and txts - cashback or non-cashback - new deals or upgrades.

PLEASE PLEASE ADVICE.

Many thanks

    Hmm...

    My problem is my budget... I cannot afford a total cost around £10... incl. all

    So you want to most high end Blackberry phone on the market but at the lowest tariff on the market. Hmm....good luck. I don't see how that is possible, but please let us know if you manage to do it.

    I am sure it is possible and am continuing my search. I am considering all factors like the cashback sites (TCB / Quidco) which will help drive the cost down.

    I am sure there may me a combination of site deals + retailer / network cash back + top cash back will all combine to drive the avg. cost per month.

    My search continues.....

    The Blackberry Bold 9700 is free on a tariff costing £25* a month for 300 mins unlimited texts and internet, its marked at £32.50 but there is £180 bill credit to cover the blackberry bolt on.

    Thats on o2's site.

    and there is £150 for ordering via quidco so that leaves the average monthly cost £18.75 for 24 months

    See, now thats what I am talking about... Thats the best I found as well. Even TCB is giving £150. Am looking a bit deeper.

    DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE CAN I GET BLACKBERRY 9700 CHEAPEST ON PAYG/SIMFREE?

    Ebay ?

    I am going to get one on ebay, If i upgrade I will lose my O2 Tariff because it has been discontinued and I get free mms and sms abroad on it.:(
  • Why not get it from three?

    500 x network
    Unlimited email and internet
    Unlimited text
    Free phone
    £30/month, 18 months contract
    £62 quidco

    Not sure about the service in your area but for me, it works fine.
    Good Luck
