N80 or K800i?

Chuffy

Three stores have got a deal on at the moment - K800i 12 months 1/2 price line rental with free 1GB memory card or N80 18 months 1/2 price line rental.
Both 18 month contracts with normal line rental of £35.

Can anyone comment on either/both phones please.
I have looked at three.co.uk and the shop is a better deal - I think they are changing the tariffs so the offers are better instore even taking into account £100 Quidco.

be interested in knowing where these offers are as I'm thinking about a k800i

from what i have heard, the n80's are slow and buggy especially if they are operator branded

the k800i seems like a good deal since you get a 1gb card with it. the k800i also has a real xenon flash for the camera

Three mobile stores or concessions (i.e. superdrug)

I found out the K800i is a recon but they are phones returned within the 14 days not faulty phones. They change the cases and flash the software/memory so they are essentially brand new and have full warranty and accessories usually found in the box. The K8001(r) is on the Three website with the 12 months 1/2 price and you should be able to get the £100 cashback from Quidco. I've been looking round at memory and the cheapest I can get it for 1GB is £23.95 here (inc delivery and 6% back from Quidco).

Doing the maths, the K800i(r) works out to be £343.95 over 18 months, the N80 is £326.95 over 18 (including a 1GB memory card @ £11.95 from www.w2w.com).

Has anyone found a better deal from a company with a good reputation for cashback?

Are these on 18 month contracts?
Are there any deals in three concessions for the K800i on 12 month contracts?

O2 online are doing the K800i for:
£29.99 with a £25 per moth contract, 18 months
£89.99 with a £20 per moth contract, 18 months

Argos Contract free = £199.99

Can anyone get cheaper than this?

The o2 deals you mentioned will be cheaper on the 12 month contract, however it depends on whether the minutes and texts are enough for you.

I called the orange retentions department Thursday last week and didnt know my contract had ended last year in November. Ive now got the K800i phone (which i received before 9am the next day) also with a new 18th month contract of 900 minutes and unlimited texts with free insurance for £30.00 a month. BARGAIN ! The phone is brilliant but im getting a few problems with watching the Orange 3G TV when it seems to enter sleep mode :S, something i'l have to speak to help desk about.

K800i out of the two models.

N80 is too big, a bit slow and the slider "grates" sometimes which is annoying.

Saying that about the N80, I do want the N95 when it comes out.

But in this case the K800i all the way.

I am looking to join Orange and they seem to have no GPRS or WAP allowance. How do you watch TV without costing a fortune?
