Advice on finding the best deal(s). Where do I look?

Hoseman

Hi and i just want some advice on finding the best deals for a pay monthly mobile phone. I have looked around a fair bit but I'm not sure Im more the wiser really.

I'm looking for the most competitive deal for the HTC Desire S which is coming out shortly. Ive looked at Carphone Warehouse, 02 and Phones4U but I just want to make sure I get the best deal.

I'm after 18 months (preferably) and 500mb or possible a Gig for browsing. Txts im not too bothered about but mins Im not sure about but I wouldnt mind seeing a list with options so I can decide.

So therefore, where are the best places to look? Which websites/companies should I be checking out?

Any ideas welcome.. cheers.

The best deals are generally retention deals for existing customers, so when it comes out you'll have to see what you can get from them.

It's a case of shopping around a lot, everyone has differentideals, so a best deal for one, maybe a poor deal for another, I suppose Tesco do value for money offers at the moment .

I don't think that it's always the case. Very often new customers can get a better deal at CPW / P4U etc. (+quidco/TCB) even without 'free gifts'.

any ideas whent he iphone 5 is coming out? And if the iphone 4 problems have been sorted out? And one last thing - does 16mgb or 24mgb make a huge difference please? I have an iphone 3 8mgb and it is being slow and the battery is not lasting more than a day max. Thanks. I want to stay with iphone as I have a mac and after years of no phones syncing with it is is fantastic to be able to plug and go.

It's 16GB or 32GB, MGB is a type of car

And no, it doesn't make any different to the running of the phone, it just limits how much crap you can store on it.
