    Chris, could be worse, you could be a Pompey fan, you might pass them on their way down after their latest administration!!

    Now you show your true colours. There's no animosity between Plymouth and QPR. You did Plymouth a favour some years ago because the Argyle v QPR fight on Union Street was the downfall of Kularoos - a rancid sports club opposite Union Rooms.

    QPR have done very well to reach the Premier League :)

    HTC Rhyme is exclusive to O2, and is aimed at women (apparently) - Purple case, charm that flashes when phone rings (good for handbags etc.) :o

    Well in the end I went for an HTC Sensation.

    Ordered it yesterday from BuyMobilePhones.NET - Free Phone on Orange Panther 20, 100 mins, unlimited texts, 500mb data, £20.50/month with 7/months half-price via redemption. Shoudl work out at £17.81 a month.

    Here's the link: http://www.buymobilephones.net/mobile-phones/HTC/HTC-Sensation-Free-Line-Rental-Discount/Orange/Orange-Panther-20-(24mths)-inc.-Internet/12110126?adnetwork=af

    However, looking at FreemonthlyPhones, I have just seen a similar deal for £12/month :(

    Oh well, I was happy with the first deal, so I shouldn't complain

    I would cancel the order rca779 and go for the better deal. £6 difference is almost £150 over the contract.

    Should be if their customer service is any decent.

    If you haven't got the dispatch email, phone them ASAP and ask them to cancel. If it has been dispatched, and by courier, just Reject the delivery and it goes back to them but best to confirm this with BuyMobilePhones.net on the phone.

    The £12 one is a refurb, not sure if the one you have gone for is New?

    If you want Refurb Mobiles.co.uk have the Galaxy S2 on Orange Panther (200 mins, unlimited texts, 750mb) for £26 with 9 months Free by redemption which works out to £16.25 per month (if cashback works OK)

    Good spot Aidy - it didn't show as refurbished in the FreeMonthlyPhone list and it's not exactly clear when you go to e2Save either.

    Glad I didn't cancel my BMP order after all - thought it was too good to be true :-)
