Looking for a BB Bold on contract

Without boring everyone I am leaving 3 after terminating my contract early as they are in breech of the t&cs so I am now looking for a BB Bold preferably on contract, I would like unlimited texts and at least 500mb of internet and at least 500 mins talk time cross network, I also need a decent camera, any suggestions? I have also been thinking about the Sony Ericson mini pro so I will try and be flexible if anyone has any other suggestions but I do not want a Nokia or a HTC or an iphone and no touch screens unless the phone has a qwerty keyboard separately, obviously I am looking to pay as little as possible on a monthly basis and nothing up front - thanks for any suggestions?

    You should be able to get the new Bold 9780 for £25/month (O2 500 mins, 500mb, unlimited texts, free phone) from the likes of Mobiles.co.uk. There are also loads of money back offers on that phone with all networks if you can take the hassle.

    I've been waiting for O2 themselves to offer it for about 2 months now, but still no sign. They recently removed the older version from sale, presumably in preparation for the newer one arriving.

    Happy hunting.

    I think only Phones4U do that deal in the shops and I see that they've upped the O2 phone to £40 plus the £25/month. Only T-Mobile and Vodafone are free there.

    Yep, your right the deals in shops cant compare with the deals online especially when using cashback sites, phones4U did say they do cashback deals but whether they would be as good is another matter, I didnt go into to it as I had other things to do but as soon as I mentioned online the poor sales peoples faces dropped:( but my pocket will be happy:rotfl:

    I'd just signed up with Orange for a Bold 9780 via mobiles.co.uk which works out to be on average £16.66 a month, with 300 mins Any Network Anytime + Unlimited Texts + Push Email + 500MB Data
    (Dolphin 25, 24 months, free gift choose free line rental for 8 months).
    https://securesite.mobiles.co.uk/Cart.aspx?tid=1592&spid=117420854

    Originally I was eyeing a deal on e2save.com, again for Bold 9780, Blackberry Data 500 mins + Unlimited texts + 500MB data, on average at £21.83 a month
    (Dolphin 30, 24mths, 7 Months £1.99 by redemption).
    http://www.e2save.com/select_gift?priceid=8272129

    You pay nothing for phone on either deals.

    Hope this helps!

    Great choice! I ordered the black one becoz I don't want to standout. Now I am having second thoughts as the pearlized white finish is so pretty. :rotfl:
  • I am after the same deal and also leaving 3 (they offered me the BB9700 at £25!!). Does anyone know if the Orange deal on Dolphin includes the BB bolt on?

    Thanks.

    If you mean the app that enables you to use bb services and bbm that costs about £5 per month then yes it was included in my dolphin 25 deal with orange:)
