What is the best mobile phone deal out just now for the Sony Ericsson K800i, the best iv seen is the orange deal for £35 a month with unlimited texts and 700 mins online
Also is there anyother better deals with a phone with a camera as good as the K800i
My contract ends with T-Mob at the end of december and iv allready enquired about cancelling it

    do you need 700 mins? the shops offer 500 mins and unlimited texts, but you have somewhere to take it back to for repairs etc, plus sony are dreadful for repairs.
    :p It is better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

    even if they buy online they can send it back via shop as long as they bring proof of purchase
    or they can take it carphonewarehouse to be repaired


    why not have a look at the k850i or k810i the latest releases of k800i, k800i has actually been discontinued
    online may be better as depending on phone you can get £180 credit (or £150 in store)
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    yeah, that's ok for people who live in areas where there are a carphone and an orange shop. it's a 40 min drive to our nearest, each way, and i don't think the carphone there does repairs.

    Theres an orange shop in my area so i wouldnt mind buying online and taking it in if there are any problems
    Iv never had a sony phone but my friends last 3 phones have been and shes never had any problems also the camera on them are really good
    What other phones out just now are really good? Only reason im doing for sony so far is the camera is really good

    Hi

    I have seen the K850i on Orange for £30/month, 7 months free line rental, 350 anytime mins, 200 texts on an 18 month contract. It has a 5MP camera and will take an SD card.

    Yes, I would go for either the K810i or K850i

    Had the K800i and upgarded to K810i, which although is essentially the same phone inside, does feel alot smaller and lighter.

    The camera is excellent too.
    Hark at you going all strict :D
