sony ericson k750i PAYG/O2 £79: Great universal

Options
I've been looking for a sensible price for this cracking little phone on Pay-as-you go package for a while. I found it on LXDIRECT for £99 plus p&p (on sale - was £150) on the O2 network.

Tried dozens of discount codes to get it down to £89 to no avail!.. plus they thought my visa card was invalid!? :confused:

Then I stumbled on this deal from Great Universal: £99 (on sale) plus 20% disount on your first order, thats right brand new customers only ;)
taking it down to £79 with free delivery. Also I used greasy palms for what will hopfully be 4% cashback

link:
http://www.greatuniversal.com
enter into 'Search by keyword or item number' field V5359

Go through the checkout as normal, it will show the full price of £99 right upto payment, and even in the confirmation email. the discount will only show on your 'first statement'..no messy codes..check their FAQ section on this.

Indeed it is 20% off everything but I just thought this was worth a mention here since It was already deeply discounted anyway

The more techno-savy of you may also wish to google how to turn your k750i into the £100 more expensive k800i walkman phone! !:money: ;)

Edit: make sure the inital address talleys with your card/bank address after you enter your postcode, as i've had to pull them about that! :rolleyes:
:cool: :A

    the l6 is a sexy looking brick....absolutely terrible for everyday use, terrible memory capacity, screen is crap, camera is crap, doesnt include a handsfree. Basically the only good thing it does is to good look. my l6 just sits in the drawer with my previous sim car and acts as a glorified alarm clock (and even so it's difficult to use due to the user interface)

    the k750i is much better :beer:
  • Excellent post, ordered 2 for Xmas presents via quidco. This is really a bargain for a K750i!

    Yes she is 14 and like most teenagers she doesn't have a mind of her own wants what all her friends have. I have the W800i so I know how this phone works and I am really happy with mine.
    Now I will have to find some insurance in case it gets lost, stolen or broken etc,

    My son has a Sony ericsson W550i walkman phone and loves it. It cost £95 when cashback and trade-in was taken into account. It's the only phone I've witnesed that seems to be worth more now second hand than when it was new! Do Sony discontinue their phones quickly, thereby making them 'collectable'?? :confused::D

    I spelt my username wrongly on purpose, by the way!
  • Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think O2 lock their phones to the network(unlike most of the other neworks) so you could buy this and then put in another networks sim card.

    That would save you £20 unlock fee

    An even better deal!!
  • I've been after this phone on Virgin for ages, was getting it for £119.99 using my upgrade (£20 off). Now virgin have removed my upgrade amount :confused: and the phone is now £129.99, good luck to that, o2 here I come..Cracking find, thanks..

    The SE550i wasn't around for long - but I'm amazed they are worth so much! Both DD and I have one and we love them to pieces, they are an unusual design with lots of features.
    The SE interface is very easy and intuitive to use. I now prefer it to the Nokia.
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.
