opinion on the newer 3 deals+ retention advice

Hi
I can't see any mention of the current £15/month 3 deals here or comments if folksthink them good or bad:

http://threestore.three.co.uk/offerdetails.aspx?offercode=18T15D006

250 mins/50 txts for £15 or double this for £20/month.
OK it is 18 month contract, but otherwise seems good to me, n being a cashback person....

Due to (try) to negotiate retention contract with 3 after 19/6 and thought I'd like them to match the £20 deal with a better phone thrown in- does this sound reasonable or are they likely to do more if I squeeze harder ? (I am not a very assertive person:o )

thanks

    I've purchased two of these deals this week. If you don't want to go through the potential hassles of cashback, I think they are an excellent choice. I purchased two deals:
    1. K800i free through The Link on the £15 Talker; with quidco works out to be about £11.50/month.
    2. K610i direct through Three; with quidco plus two refer a friend deals, works out to be about £8.50/month

    Note: the K800i is a fantastic phone, but no one should underestimate the size difference between it and the K610i. I'm thinking of keeping the phone with 'lesser features' and letting my partner take the flagship model.

    Search some of the threads here. Some 3 customers got some unbelievable deals by giving notice to cancel and then waiting for three to contact them. I would think you should be able to do better than the current deals on offer to new customers.
