Been with Orange for 8 years - Loathed to stay with them, but.....

Hi there,
I have been with Orange for 8 years now and they have been fairly decent to me in the past however my contract is now up for renewal once again and I have been looking at the Samsung Galaxy s2 as my new phone...
Orange don't currently have the white one so am on a waiting list however I spoke to 2 different people over the last 2 weeks who told me they would call me back.
I have not heard from them and am getting a tad impatient...
Dilemma is that the best deal for this phone is with Orange and can I really be bothered to change provider??
Considered Tesco as you get 3points per £1 you pay on your monthly bill but most of their contracts are 24 months...
I am just looking for some advice or input on what anyone else would do in this sisutation
Thanks

Galaxy S II in white is in stock at the moment.
Give them a call and I'm sure they'd sort it all out for you!0 -
Porting your number to another network is a very trivial affair and I know sometimes it's better the devil you know as you could go elsewhere and find the coverage poor etc.
Have you tried other sellers like dialaphone and not orange direct?0 -
Tesco will also do 12 months... just ask!0

You can get it from a third party company such as Carphone Warehouse, I believe they do the S2 in white with Orange on upgrade.Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug).0

Dont forget if your contract is up to negotiate a better deal along with your new phone - see the Orange retentions deals thread0
