    but id rather get it now mate

    i want to saty with t-moile but also would like to keep my number
    10 years and still please with service!!!

    Have you tried telling them you'll leave if you have to pay for an upgrade? Are the phones you like free to new customers? If they are it is worth pointing this out and ask why they are penalising you for wanting to stay loyal to them. This happened to me with vodafone and 5 mins later the delivery of the phone was arranged for the next day for free.

    mate, im staying with them as im pleased with the service, ive got a great tariff, and they have offered me £100 off the handset price
    so ive got no complaints apart from their poor selection of handsets but they do soem severed testign to readicate faults on their handsets and include their own customised menus, lol

    @mobicate/kelv - didnt know you were on here, had to mvoe off the other forums, lol

    Guess we know how you got your name, I was not aware that we weren't allowed to join in discussions. I bet you bullied kids in the playground as well!

    Plus if you read my first sentence it was giving you the information you requested which was the release date of the 6230i

    Ok, seen as you apologised so nicely I will talk to you again.

    I have just tried to find the link that said pre-order for delivery to you on 11th but I just can't find it. I also came across another one that had a big banner saying 'We've got it' ie in stock but I am really sorry I can't find that one either.

    I think I am going to hold out for the 6230i as much as I would like a nice ladylike clamshell design, I think the 6230i offers a lot more.

    I found one of the sites I was on about.
    http://www.livetelecom.com/

    This is the site that said you could pre-order for delivery on Monday 11th. Its now showing them as in stock but with limited availability, however, they are sim free and for purchase.

    dont know if this is the rite place to post this, but my contract with o2 online is due to expire, and strangely enuff ive been reasonably happy with them. they are offering this deal: free upgrade to Samsung D500, and free upgrade from online 100 (xnet anytime) with 500 text to online 200 (xnet anytime) and 500 free text a month for £25 instead of £30

    o2 allow u to call 0845 no in free mins aswell... i reckon its not a bad deal,.... wots everyone else say?

    good deal take it

    also the 6230i is simfree and not going to take it as after 9 months i move from 6230 to the 'i' version, its a poor move

    ill wait for the sony d750i, miles better

    Well I went into a Nokia shop today and the guy told me that it would not be out for another couple of months, came home looked on the net, called mobilephoneshop and they have them in stock on a vodafone deal. However, read my own writing wrong and my contract end is 17th May, however, they have agreed to send me a pac number. Found out though if you want to port from Vodafone to vodafone, they don't pay commission to the phone retailer so they are reluctant to do that, they would rather you sign up for a new contract and new number.

    now i wont threaten to leave becasue my tariff is such that no network can manage even the network of 3 is a poor relation to it, hwoever wont mention the tariff itself

    i got the tariff as i had a mate who used to work at t-mobile but has not left, but the old tariff stays to whoever it is given out to unless i end it but i wont, no point is there

    i might go for the nokai 6230i now, as similar to the 6230
    it now has more pixels, a much better camera and video
    and better internal memory

    and with all the other phones being a poor comparison i might as well wait a wait and buy this..........

    maybe u could give your mate a call for me 4 yrs ago they messed up my upgrade then for the following three years i got refused an upgrade out of contract im about £35 a month and I have to pay full price upgrade
    If I helped or saved you money - Thank me
    If I helped you spend some money - spank me
    If I done both - :lipsrseal me:eek:
    :D
