    My husband has Samsung Tocco and I hate it, I am not able to use it. Why do you want an iphone and not an android phone?

    i really hate it!! i want an iphone as ive had 2 xperias and both have been faulty, appauling battery life lasting only 4 hours on standby! and its kind of tainted my opinion of them! i know quite a few people who have iphones and dont have any problems with them x

    Not that you can confirm that!

    All you need to do is look on Google and search for iphone 5 release date which brings up September 2011 at the earliest due to the lack of touchscreens they have in stock.

    Also, if you're paying £300 a year, you could get a contract for £25.00 per month and get a free phone.

    Check out mobiles.co.uk as you get a free gift as well.

    I upgraded my phone on Monday and got a Samsung Galaxy S, 900 minutes, unlimited texts and 500mb data bundle AND a free X Box 360 and two games.

    hi everyone, ive recently brought an iphone on ebay but was scammed :mad: im in the process of reclaiming the cash back from paypal but ive been thinking about it, i paid £170 for the phone and im currently on pay as you go and spend £10 a month meaning it works out £300 a year anyhow. im very reluctant to buy another phone from ebay, once bitten twice shy! ive never had a contract phone before can anyone recomend one? for the iphone 3gs or iphone 4? thanks in advance x x

    1/Apple sell faulty phones in bulk to UK companies that refurbish them then usually sell them on ebay.

    2/Some people buy out of contract iphones (2-3 years old)on ebay for around £70,refurbish them for cheap and/or fake parts then sell them for £150-£170 as new or as good as new.

    3/A lot of fake iphones on ebay and other sites from china usually made up with fake parts.

    so in other words i should not buy one of ebay because they will mostly be faulty or fake!

    They are all very similar as the deals you can get are limited on the iPhone as Apple control them - I have an iPhone 4 - £35 a month with 600 minutes, Unlimited text and Unlimited internet plus i got £150 cashback via Quidco. Most iPhone 4 contracts require you to pay towards the cost of the handset [Anything between £29 to £200 on T-Mobile depending what tariff you choose], The iPhone 3G you can get free on certain T-Mobile tariffs

    http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/iphone/buy-now/
    :dance:Quidco Payments In 2011 - £724.21 :dance:

    June: £43.15/July: £51.22/August: £90.60/September: £29.75/October: £284.07/November: £171.08/December: £29.22
