Can anyone tell me where you can purchase a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro Mobile Phone handset to use on O2? It had been reduced in Additions Direct for £130 to £140 on Sunday 12th December but I didn't get round to ordering it then. Does anyone know where I could purchase it for this price or £150 at most?

    Any idea how much it would cost to get the handset unlocked?

    Can I ask how long the contract is for, how many minutes you got, how many texts and what web usage you got?
  • It wasn't great, I think it was 50 or maybe 100 mins and 300 texts and didn't include web usage.....hence why I ended up going to Virgin.

    That was why I was trying to work out if it would be less expensive to purchase the handset and amend the tariff I am on but still have the minutes and texts I need.
