    Delivery for my Pre 3 is due tomorrow :) I messed up on the order because I entered the wrong debit card information (doh! :wall:) but that was sorted after a short phone call. The lady from the sales team I spoke to was pleasant and informed me about everything including how to claim on cashback etc. So... everything seems fine so far, only negative is that e2save don't seem to allow you to e-mail your bills for cashback, but it seems that not many do. This deal would have been perfect if data was included, but oh well, I can get a 12 month SIM only deal from T-Mobile and use that instead for under £80 I think.

    Anyone else gone for this deal?

    Im waiting as well, but I took the contract WITH the data, works out at £10.31 a month
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.
  • I just ordered mine with mobiles.co.uk should be here tomorrow. quite excited. hope it doesn't let me down to be honest am only wanting it because i have a touchpad.

    it is a £36 per month 12 month contract with 9 months free by redemption. If £30 from Quidco comes through then it'll effectively cost me £6.50 p/m.

    Happy days. Now to diarise all the redemption dates...

    Never mind, just called e2save and told them I'll be refusing delivery. The lady I spoke to was very helpful and said she could try and match the deal, but to be honest I think I'm better off just cancelling and reordering from mobiles.co.uk if that's what I decide to do.

    why is this thread in grabbit when the title is totally misleading and the only people getting phones have taken them out on contract or paid full price :|
  • Well it came today. Looks lovely it is charging now so will let you know how i get on later.

    Cool :D What's the keyboard like to type on?

    I'm having doubts about the whole cashback thing... if it all ends up going wrong that'd mean paying £432.

    My current contract from dialaphone has cashback, and I haven't had any problems thus far... but I just don't know if I want to take the risk any more especially with the way the economy is is now... iunno.
  • well i'm loving it. the keys are slightly rubberised so you can dig your nail in slightly if you know what i mean.

    the last cashback deal i've had was years ago. at least you've had some current experience! i'm hoping to be organised about it and hope that it comes through ok.

    must say so far all the dealing i've had with mobiles.co.uk have been very pleasant and it bodes well for the future.
