Thats seems quite a good deal. I am on the market for a good upgrade and was deciding between the Samsung SII, but i find this a bit big to carry in the pocket.
Today i see Three have started some sale offers.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S for £25 500mins, 5000 text, unlimited data
Or Samsung W for £23 with same quota as above.
I thought the Sony XAS looked like a decent phone for £25 but waiting to see if Phones 4U have any offers next week.

If i am correct when i was researaching vodaphone, their unlimited data usage is not actually unlimited, and there are download restrictions (correct me if i am wrong?)

dialaphone are doing a decent deal on the arc s with £110 cashback (after 22 days) and you can get £50 via TopCashBack too.

Have a look its an absolute steal

Hi i haven`t used the nokia, I would go for the s2, I would avoid the xperia range all together I have the x10 and my wife has the x10 mini pro both are rubbish. My x10 was repaired 3 times in 18months, so i complained directly to Sony Ericsson, and they replaced the phone. The new phone freezes and crashes and i`ve had to do a full reset twice in 2 months. From my experiences i would not have another xperia phone.

That is correct. You need Zune installed, which isn't too bad... not as simple as drag and drop, but not as evil as iTunes.

i did think so i was considering the phone myself until i read about the software which it turns out isnt compatible on my mac

Zune isn't Mac compatible, but Microsoft released WP7 Connect for Mac users instead.

I loved 'Nokia" until I got a 5800, which was so buggy. (I still have and love a 6300 - best Nokia phone)

I have a S2 and it is like a mini netbook or tablet.

I didn't trust Nokia and Windows as it is so new, where Samsung and Android are trusted brands. (well, apart from some dodgy apps!)

Nokia's 'last-ditch' Windows phone stumbles - sales crawl behind Androids, iPhones and even BlackBerries

• New Nokia captures 0.17 per cent of market
• Survey of 5,000 phone buyers
  
• Samsung Galaxy S II top with 16.13 per cent
• Three iPhone models in top ten totalling 17.75 per cent

THE TOP TEN


Samsung Galaxy S II 16.13%
Apple iPhone 4 16GB 10.24%
Apple iPhone 4S 16GB 5.50%
BlackBerry Touch 9900 3.79%
Apple iPhone 3GS 8GB 3.03%
BlackBerry Curve 9300 2.54%
HTC Sensation 2.16%
Apple iPhone 4S 16GB 2.01%
Nokia Lumia 800 black 0.17%

As I said I loved Nokia until my 5800 days then I have fallen out of love with them!! Whenever I contacted Nokia they were very arrogant and never helped me @ all!!!

Depends how you interpret the data I guess. It also says it's the most popular Windows phone, despite only being out for a couple of months.

I'd say that is a bit of a win for Nokia, no one would have expected it to topple the big players.
