Best deal/shop for K750i on Orange???

Hi!
I've been looking everywhere for a sony k750i on Orange contract with the 200 xnet mins type offer.
After a dodgy deal with onestopphoneshop on a different phone, and after considering other peoples numerous complaints about them, I want to avoid them completely.

So far the best offer I've seen is 7months 1/2 price (£30 -> £15) with buymobilephones.net but I can't find any reviews of this company. Then there's mobileshp.co.uk who seem to be reputable and offer 6 months 1/2 price on the orange 200 tariff or OVP O2 200+50txt. OVP for the voda tariff is 9 months 1/2 price, but I would rather have the extra minutes from Orange and O2 than 250txt.

Has anyone found any better, because these aren't very good compaired to other networks?

I would appreciate any help offered.
Cheers

Ps Anyone know how long it will be before other companies get this phone on orange? eg. mobilechooser.com have a price guarantee for any other deal but don't have the phone. Anyone dealt with them before???

    I got 6 months @ £2.99 + £6 months @ £15 with OSPS. I also recommended a friend and we are gonna share the £30 cheque. :T

    When ordering I spent quite a lot of time on the phone confirming each single option in order to avoid problems. And everything is fine. Got the phone on time and I'm not connected with Vodafone.

    But sorry I haven't seen any good Orange deals.

    I can see how you got the 6 months at £2.99 but what about the 6 months at £15? Is this both on the same contract?

    You can change your contract for free after 6 months ;) and you still get the cashback !

    Thanks Eco,

    but surely you're then left with hardly any inclusive mins etc. Maybe I'm looking for something to good to be true this early after the launch of the phone!

    Has anyone gone for the phone on Orange and felt like they got a good bargin?

    Cheers

    The dreaded onestopphoneshop have just released the k750i on Orange. There offer for the 200 min tariff is rubbish but the £40/month 300 min tariff has 11 months 1/2 price.
    What does anyone think?

    From the best orange offers so far it seems:

    OVP relax 200 (9months 1/2) = £225 total - mobileshop.co.uk
    Yourplan 200 (7 months 1/2) = £255 - buymobilephones.net
    Yourplan 300 (11 months 1/2) = £260 - osps

    (not including differences in incentives)

    I've already been very dissapointed with customer service at osps before. Is it worth the hassle again?
