    I got one with the limited internet for £13.50, and the CS bloke on the chat said I can remove it entirely once it arrives. I don't even want the sim, can't get O2 when in my house! Gonna tie it with the cheap tmobile sim (600m/500t/1Gb - £7.82 HUKD) and I'll be paying £18 a month for a contract most people want closer to £30 for.
  • One of my kids is interested in this deal but I have a question regarding the Galaxy S's screen - I have the Samsung Jet with AMOLED screen and it's fantastic apart from when using outdoors where it just can't be seen at all. I'm assuming the same problem afflicts the screen on the S? Anyone? TIA

    Hi,
    am looking to change my phone as it is about to give up on me. Have been seriously considering the Iphone 4 but am wavering a little bit over the cost (am presently on PAYG but want to switch to monthly contract). Anyone got any comments to make on this phone either positive or negative. Really not very good with anything technical. Any help appreciated :)

    Never had a problem with my S1, but now have the S2 and the screen is far better.

    Don't you need the bolt on for the apps etc. whilst on the move?

    Anyone who ordered this, is it showing online in your account? Mine says it can't find my order details.
