    **** says:
    I was just wondering if you currently have the HTC Desire in stock?
    Elsie says:
    We do
    Elsie says:
    If you order before 4pm should be with you by tomorrow
    **** says:
    Are there plenty left?
    Elsie says:
    (providing credit checks go through okay)
    Elsie says:
    This morning we had 113
    Elsie says:
    baring in mind, they are very popular and we have had lots of requests going through
    **** says:
    OK. Thanks. I do have another question ...
    Elsie says:
    Ok
    **** says:
    If I ordered the T-Mobile £25 (18 months) for the HTC Desire, i notice that it doesn't come with unlimited internet but instead comes with unlimited texts .... I am not really interested in texts. is this something I could swap over (I.e can I change my free booster from texts to internet?)
    Elsie says:
    after 30 days you can alter the free booster with Tmobile
    **** says:
    Thanks that's very useful. If I did that would I end up with no free texts at all?
    Elsie says:
    you would get 500 texts
    **** says:
    excellent.
    **** says:
    Thank you very much!
    Elsie says:
    No problem

  • Just got off the phone with buymobilephones.net

    The lady said they had no stock delivered last week and they have no idea when stock will next be received, if at all, this week.

    As previously mentioned orders up untill the 15th were processed with their last stock delivery and a few others since then.

    She implied it was a stock issue with all networks but I personally think its an issue with T-Mobile's stock.

    Anyone know if this could work???

    Just to update everyone - it worked.

    Ordered my phone from Mobile Phones Direct and it came the very next day.

    I then rang t mobile and I got them to add Web 'n' Walk to my package (3gb for android users).

    So I've got 300 mins (plus unlimited calls to landlines free booster) 300 texts and 3gb internet on an 18 month contract all for only £25.

    I think I'm right in saying this is the cheapest deal out there at the moment (if you don't want to wait for your phone).

    Given that only Beepy and buymobilephones have done decent offers and no-one else on T-Mobile is offering anything near then yes, I think stocks are short on T-Mobile nationwide.

    However there are stocks around on T-Mobile from other vendors, at higher costs, but I'm also now personally looking at Vodafone offers, as an up to 1GB limit would probably be fine for me for the duration of my contract.

    Anyone know how speeds over 3G compare with T-Mobile at 3GB (implication seems to be that at 3GB level it's faster than over 1GB?) over Vodafone?

    I've been a customer of network 3 for numerous years, my current contract ended a couple of months again but I just haven't got round to trying to upgrade. Today I was offered the HTC Desire, with 300 mix & match, 500MB of Internet, the usual free Skype & 120 picture messages for £24 a month. I agreed to this as my current phone has died its death and I need a working phone. Have I made a mistake, is this deal any good?
