T-Mobile Contracts

I've been looking at contracts for the new HTC Desire that is due out in the UK very soon.

I've noticed that the more you pay a month, including the reccomended package, the more you pay overall, so unless you can't dish out the initial money needed for the phone there is no point paying more than £10 a month.

Is this the case for all networks (this will be my 1st contract phone so I don't know) or are T-Mobile just !!!!!!? :p

    Presumably the more expensive packages will have more minutes/texts/internet, so yes there is a point.

    Yes it's the same for all networks.

    Am I being trolled?

    Just in case anybody missed this on hot deals:

    I noticed this quote on Amazon in comments on the Legend, recommending the Desire instead.

    I went ahead and signed up for the contract with T-mobile

    "Hi ****, this is just a suggestion but I found this deal from T-Mobile and its actually for the HTC Desire, I don't know if your interested on that phone (in my opinion is far better than the Legend in every way apart from the Aluminium Body) but I think its by far the best deal out there and I don't think Vodafone, O2 or the rest will be able to match it.
    Its a 24 months contract, with 100 minutes any network, any time. 100 texts any network, any time. Unlimited* internet and a flexible booster which you can chooseplus optional extra boosters at £5.

    Browse on the move, 3GB monthly allowance for Android phones, which is superb and plenty for any user, because most networks offer between 500MB - 1GB. You pay £10 a month for 24 months and £164 upfront when you sign up for the contract.

    So at the end of the contract your total will come to £404, which is the same as buying it sim free, but with the Sim free version you don't get the above benefits.

    If you think about it T-Mobile are selling the HTC Desire at cost price or could even be making a loss on the phone. (By the way I am not employed by T-Mobile or anything , but this deal is too good to go un-noticed)."

    oo-er It does appear that T-mobile has noticed and have removed the deal/link, I assume they realised it was rather too good a deal!!
