    I have just checked the site and no they have not pulled the Lifestyle Awards offer (10% off + £25 Free Airtime). But no they do not seem to have the Nokia 1100 available to buy either under this offer or on their normal site.

    This could simply mean that they are completely out of stock and cannot get any more for a while - or it could mean that they have the matter 'under review' and it could therefore mean the end of the Nokia 1100 offer - but their other phones are still available at the moment through the Lifestyle Rewards offer, and these are still excellent value compared to other retailers, so there are still bargains to be had - for now!

    If they are out of stock they usually leave the pix of the phone on the site,and put (Out of stock) on it.

    They may have caught onto the fact that it's too good a deal :(

    It could well be that - perhaps since their website has been overloaded more people have telephoned in orders, and haggled trying to get the Lifestyle Rewards deal - and perhaps people's tenacity has brought to their attention how cheap the Nokia 1100 actually was - we may have got away with it for longer with just online orders!!

    The Nokia 2600 & 3200 still look pretty good though, can anyone recommend these? I have seen a 2600 up close and it seemed quite nice and easy to use - but I know nothing about the 3200 except that it is very colourful!

    There may be a catch: the small print for the Fresh tarif says "The inclusive credit on connection lasts for 60 days from account connection."

    These terms are buried in the Fresh tarif page: click on Fresh on the link below, and go to the bottom of the page. http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-pd-ProductDisplay?S=40&PN=PAYGO&filter_partModel=NOK1100

    Please don't take offence, I was not accusing anyone of anything, just making a general observation.

    The offer is not due to end until the end of September - but I can fully understand people being keen to get their orders in quickly because sometimes these things do get pulled early if they are found to be too popular.

    The offer of lifestyle rewards is still available until September, they pulled the plug on the 1100 though as obviously it was too good for customers and a loss making one for them. unfortunately the website wouldnt work and hence a lot of us including me had to call and get the offer befire they pulled the plug!!.

    Sorry if any of you guys lost out on this offer coz of some of us calling up the customer service. Even the customer service gusy couldnt believe the offer and one of them actually told me he was going to order a couple through his wife!!
