best to wait till 15th sept if you can, and get the new model instead.

Assuming it isn't WinMo 7....

Rang T-Mobile retentions twice today and both times I've been told they cannot offer the desire on anything less than £30 per month.

Any tips on getting them down?

Otherwise I going to go for -
MobilePhonesDireect - 300mins, 300texts, unlimited texts for £20 per month (+ £85 up front)

Yep USE A RESELLER like buymobilephones.net like me as its an upgrade you will get the the 2 boosters and the correct internet! I got the galaxy s for £21.25 free 600 mins 500 texts unlimited net and landlines.24 months! I was a low spender pay £15 a month and hardly goin over! I had the desire in that deal befire it was faulty so swapped! I saved £252 by nit goin direct through t mobile!

Unfortunately it isn't an upgrade. So I would loose my number which I rather like.

Then how come you phoned retentions? You only phone them if your an existing customer! An upgrade means you keep your old number if you are already a t mobile customer!

Quidco also offer cashback for MPD.co.uk - £30 at the moment which would bring the up front cost down to £55 :j

Mobiles.co.uk were doing the Desire for £79.99 on 300 mins, 300 texts, unlimited internet (1GB/3GB FUP, depends on T-Mobile upgrading you) for £20 pm, and you get £50 cash back through TCB. So the handset is only £29.99 and you get data.
