  • saw this on dialaphone web exclusive deal:

    12 months contract with 4 months free @£36 a month
    FREE n8
    not bad i think!


    12
    month contract length 300

    minutes
    per month Unlimited

    texts
    per month FREE for 4 months was £36.00

    line rental
    per month (by redemption) £24.00

    is the effective monthly cost for 12 months.

    Hi, could not find that actual deal so if you have to have 12 months contract it doesn't seem too bad.

    You don't mention any data/internet allowance !!

    Yes , you pay £36/month for 12 months and will get back £144 if you manage to follow all the terms and conditions.

    Can't see you getting under £30/month on a 12 month contract !!


    Theres no point in getting a smartphone if you don't get at least 500mb data allowance otherwise you will incur massive data charges every month.


    As a footnote :- the latest software update for the N8 is a great improvement , especially in relation to web browsing.

    Hi, everyone has their own opinion and needs, and as long as people research what they are buying instead of just following the crowd they should find a suitable phone.

    For me the important features were:-

    Build quality
    Camera
    FM transmitter
    Bluetooth versatility
    Excellent email capabilities

    I am not really interested in music players/video players/apps, so although the N8 is good with these, I realise that android/iphone can be better.
