Oh please do!!

BTW do you just click on the upfrade link inside IB? It's just offering me damn Vantage on my Silver account, not offering Gold!! lol

Yup went to the AVA upgrade link, selected gold, said cool beans Mr Izools, your new debit card will be with you soon.

Not awful value really given I now get insurance for my Xperia X10 and Sentinel card cover, the value of the X10 puts most insurers off and LTSB's meagre £30 excess is hard to beat.

Will show y'all piccie of the card when it arrives

EDIT: Lol, says I can upgrade to Platinum account, too. Don't think I'll bother with that though. £17 PCM? Ha! Gotta be kidding!

I wonder if it'll come with a CGC, because they say they don't issue them not more.
That's bull because a mate of mine has the gold account and he was sent one with a CG on it. I didn't have a close look, which i did now.

Yes I'm a saddo

Mate the X10 is half the value of iPhone, why would most insurers stay away? Try moneysupermarket - I just done a quick quote - £9.78 per month for that!

In fairness, ive always year in and year old held the top rating and most expensive phones (cos I pay £200 per month) and i've never once had to claim insurance, why would I? I keep my phone with me at all times - I look after and respect them and then after the 12mth tie-in, I sell them for at least £250 a pop cos like I say I always get the best handsets in terms of value.

I'm trying to ask why you need insurance on a phone you can get for free on a £20pm contract or from eBay at £150? Or £250 new (http://uk.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=215625627)

You can't get it on a £20 a month contract.

And I already dropped it once :eek: first time I'd dropped a phone in donkeys years (if ever, in fact) and made me think twice how I'd feel about having to pay £30 a month for the rest of my contract term without the handset I'm paying extra for.

Oh, and you linked to the X10 Mini. Not the Xperia X10. The mini is half the value! It's !!!!!!!

X10 (full) is worth more than a 3GS, thank you.

£9.78/Month for insurance, vs. £12/Month for insurance, sentinel card protection, a purdy gold card, and no interest on the first £100 of my overdraft. It's a no brainer!!

So neh

You're so easy to wind up mate but no, trust me here and half the population, an X10 is not better than an iPhone lol... you're the only person I know that has one - at my work (over 2000 staff) there has to be every other person carrying an iPhone, same goes on MSE so mate you've been had!

I understand why you want it, but I only go for the phone for resale value cos every year I swap, by the way I have 4 contracts each at £50 for unlimited everything now, thats unlimited calls, texts, MMS, internet usage the lot - thats vodafone for you - gotta love them for their rewards to loyalty program.... :T :T

I can get the full size X10 right now for free at £20 p/m from voda mate! Logged in under customer offers from voda shop.

That's nice! I can't. Probably could if I was already paying them £200 a month. But then it wouldn't be £20 a month, would it? It'd be £220 in total.

To us common or garden folk, Vodafone charge £35/PCM for the X10 - Three only charge £30. So I'm already on the best value contract for that phone, available to me.

There's iPhone fanboys, and there's Android fanboys. Best not to go there tbh.

we've had this chat before LOL - I usually go for Nokia's tbh but thought i'd swap the N97 for the iPhone, wise choice cos I actually like the basic features the iPhone has - put simply, i'm iPhone for life now - never go back to pressing buttons and searching silly menu's - iPhone is great when pished and being i'm pished half the time - we're a match made together mate! :rotfl::rotfl:
