am i getting a good deal here?

Hi just wanted some experts opinions on if this a good deal?

currently i pay £10 for 600 mins, unlimited text, 1GB internet and unlimited virgin to virgin (30 day rolling contract)

i need a new phone to make use of my internet, so i rang up virgin.....

i need an android phone, after doing some research this suits me best.

they have offered me a HTC DESIRE S for basically £14 per month on the same contract as before.

so over 2 years i will pay £96 extra for the phone.

this new deal ties me into a 24 month contract also....

what do people think, is this good? good phone etc?

A contract thats lower price then phone is pretty much a good deal, you can easily expect to recover the £96 in 2 years if you flog the phone.

thanks, yea that does sound pretty good when you say it like that.

whats the actual phone like, is it any good?

i didnt want an iphone or blackberry, is this just as good as those though?

It's better than an iphone imo and miles ahead of the blackberry for anything other than business use.

The only thing to be aware of is that the Desire S is just a slightly upgraded desire so you might want to check out how much it is to buy a desire outright at the moment. Having said that it looks a decent deal, if you decide in a years time to buy out the contract then the phone should still be worth enough to let you do this.
