Orange haave finally released the SE X10 I've bene waiting for (I know some ppl prefer the desire etc but I prefer the look and extra memory of the X10) so I rang up normal upgrades to test the waters.

I was instantly offered this, without any promping or negotiating or any kind

Sony Ericcson Xperia X10 - Free
600 mins
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Internet
18 months

£25

Now I was quite shocked by that

as the closest offer I can see on the standard site plans is

Phone - £100
400 mins
Unlimited text
Unlimited Net
18 month

£ 35

So I guess my question is...what do you think, is this as good as I think it is or do you think I should try to negotiate further? Seems like I've saved £100 on the phone and £180 on the contract without any effort :eek:
LBM 2 - 27.05.09. Debt was £33224 + 1100:eek: OD.
Car - was - [STRIKE]20867[/STRIKE] - now - Gone! :T Zopa - was [STRIKE]6800[/STRIKE] -now - Gone loan - was [STRIKE]1687 [/STRIKE]- now Gone! :T Student Loan - was [STRIKE]1850 [/STRIKE] - now gone!! - Barclay Card was -[STRIKE] £2000[/STRIKE] now - Gone OD - was 1100 - now - 900 :mad:
Total - £0 :rotfl: + OD = 100% paid!!!

    No harm in negoiting further. But even if they dont, the deal you have got is still very good.

    Dislike the X10 as it's based on a now aging version of Android, with (as yet) no promise of upgrading. Personally I'm going for the Desire.
