    Also, R&D costs are high plus marketing. You don't take a phone that you are selling for £200 which is for sale at the very cheapest of £150 and make a profit.

    I think if you look into it,catalog companies don't own any actual stock themselves.They just deal with comapanies who say they can have so much of this or that at this price etc.Then they print the catalogs and sell to the public.The items are then sent from the companies who actually own the stock.

    People who have received their phones, are you new customers or have you previously shopped with grattans/freemans?

    Yeah mine says the same

    65C435 E900 PINK + ACC PK 1 £80.00 Awaiting Stock

    Was told on the phone tho that delivery would be 1st Dec (or was it the 2nd dec lol)...If it comes, it comes....If it doesn't then it's no big deal.

    Just been on the phone to them and been told that they are not sending the phone out to anyone at the £99.99 price. They say everyone will be paying the full price!
    I have been a grattan and freemans customer for years and will now cancel both my accounts.
    They also said no one who ordered after the 20th of november has received phones!!!!


    I pointed out that I knew people who had opened accounts just to get the phone had already got their order and I had been a good customer for years but was just told that they wouldn't discuss other accounts!

    ordered wednesday 22/11 got one and one on route i would complain
