    Thanks for all the replies, I thought that that would be the general consensus.

    So...... how about ebay? Any way I can get discount codes for ebay? Or is that generally 'free shipping' codes?
    Ebay don't do discount codes for anything but their fashion-outlet although they do a sort of cashback offer (not really all that) where you get 1 ebay point per £1 spent on the site not including postage. They then send you back a voucher a few months later. 1 ebay point = 1p.

    You can use cahsback sites for ebay, places like quidco but again its not much, it says something like 10% but this is only 10% of the revenue ebay make on the item so for £200 you'd get back around £8 which would need to clear before you could get hold of it. Also bear in mine some cashback sites (namely quidco which seems to be the most reliable) have a membership fee of £5 a year which would be instantly deducted from any earnings you got through their site. All in all this would mean you have £5 back if your using quidco to use ebay for a phone which was £200. If the phone was less you'd get back less.

    Just stick with Amazon IMO as its an expensive item, if you need to use the warrenty its going to be a lot lot easier.
