What's the best deal around and in stock today? Beepy and buymobilephones both have no stock on their T-Mobile deals. I'm looking for something for 18 months.

Same here...:(

Have been looking at these (which have £30 quidco/topcashback for new contract.

Specifically, I'd like either:
1 600 mins, ultd internet (fair use, obv) OR
2 300 mins, ultd landline, ultd internet

While beepy/buymobilephones have GREAT deals (working out at £19/month for the best of them on bleepy), this is less so...

This is the best I can see for my needs but doesn't feel like a bargain:
£35/pm -70 (cashback) - 30 (quidco) - 10 (free car charger) = £520 = about £29/month.

It includes 3 months insurance but this isn't of value really to me.

I've been using omio, onecompare, monkeymobile and moneysupermarket every few days since May to find a great deal, but no-one's come close to Beepy or buymobilephones for a deal with T-Mobile unfortunately.

I keep getting ****** off and thinking of going elsewhere, but the MSE in me keeps waiting out for my great deal - currently I'd be paying, if I ever get it(!), about £400 total which is about £20 p.m. for 18 months.

I keep telling myself "just one more week"

I ordered Desire on the 18th July from buymobilephones.net and have still not received mine yet. Its getting very frustrating now wondering whether to bother anymore and cancel.

You must mean June 18th or are you a time traveller:p

Cancel.

Then, hopefully, if I'm below you in the queue, I'll get mine quicker.

Iv'e just upgraded with Vodafone and got:

HTC DESIRE (free)
900 minutes
unlimited texts
unlimited internet
£17.50 a month for the life of the contract (24 months)

All of the above is right and i had to wait a week for the phone to come, which it did on Monday.
My girlfriend also got the same deal.
We have no need really for a expensive phone (usually gets dropped or broken) so i put one on ebay for £313 and sold within a few hours.
My girlfriends phone will be going on soon so not only a cheap contract but £600 in the bank
So if you can try to push them hard when you are coming to the end of an existing contract.
I have posted more about this deal in the Vodafone retention deals thread.

I ordered one from BuyMobilePhones.net yesterday. The deal I got was:

300 Cross-network minutes
300 Cross-network texts
Unlimited Data (FUP 1GB p/m but I've heard that Android Phones get a 3GB FUP from T-Mobile so I'll ring them when I get the phone)
£20 Line Rental
£29.99 Up-front cost for HTC Desire

Still waiting to hear if I've passed the credit check though. Does anyone know how long this usually takes?

Mine took less than 24 hours.

Thanks for the reply
This is the first time I've applied for mobile contract, so would that mean that it would take a little longer to be accepted? I ordered around 17:10 last night.
