Best 12mth free rental offers? Advice needed.
Hi,
I am finally to get a newish mobile on one of these 12mth free rental contracts (only had a Nokia 1100 on virgin payg for 3 years so far)
I have narrowed down my selections to:
Nokia 5200 (vodafone)
Nokia 7360 (organge)
Sony k750i (orange)
Moto RAZR V3i (voda, 02, orange)
Moto Razr V3x (voda, 02, orange)
Which of the above would you pros recommend?
- I would like to unlock at the end of contract
- Ideally I would like to be able to play real media soundtracks
- reliability of cashback by the seller
- I hardly use my mobile so talk time (battery wise) is not an issue
- Ideally a vendor on quidco/topcashback
Any recommendations and alternative suggestions welcome.
Cheers
jeremy

I recommend the Sony Ericsson K750i, the 7360 lacks a memory card slot and only has 4 MB memory, i have had the K750i and to be honest it was the best phone i had ever used, great features, i used it to listen to MP3 tracks, it has a memory of 32MB but u usually get a 64MB memory card in the box and the cameras nice too.
I dont like motorola phones but the new flip ones do look nice, but i wouldnt touch them, just dont like the features for some reason, most people i know dont like motorolas0 -
agreed, the spec of the K750i is great if you can get free line rental. I have an w810i so if you can get that one on 9 months free or more i'd go for that...Jertzy x0

Becareful many of the smaller companies offers seem good but... you have to trade this off against problems getting the cash back and losing cashbakc if they go bust.
E2save, OSPS have some 12m free offers with handsets that are not as good, but they are owned by CPW.
I looked at cheap deals on www.contractdeals.com there are MANY free deals for 12months most from small companies.
Check the comments on this board to see what others think.
Also consider if the handset you are getting is new or refurb aka "Clearance". Not to say you cannot get a good free deal with a great handset.
You have not said who is offer these handsets, I think people comments might be different if they knew who was supplying them.Seth.0
