Go for HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy S. Nokia are not good anymore now. N8 is ok ok.. HTC Desire/Samsung Galaxy S or the higher end HTC Desire HD/Sansung Galaxy II are very good!

Phoned Orange today to see what I could get. There was no chance getting the Desire or Galaxy for free - not a high enough user. Was offered Nokia X3 Touch and Type for free with exactly the same (or thereabouts) loyalty offer as I am currently on:-

Nokia X3
800 mins
1300 texts
unlimited landline

for £20pm.

I said I would be happy with this. The girl from Orange said she was having a problem with her system and would call me back shortly when things were back up and running to finalise. Waited and waited and waited ....

Over 2 hours passed so I thought I'd ring back. Guess what? No record of anything from the first call on my account. I even had the first advisor's name but they seemed unwilling to even trace it.

Now told by the second advisor that I cannot get anything near the deal I was led to believe was now in place. Waiting for a manager to ring now - supposedly before 6pm tonight ... Raging :mad:

If you're after a Desire you could maybe wait a few weeks, the Desire S is due out in April which means they'll be getting rid of their Desire stock fairly cheap. Let us know how you get on with a manager

if ur regularly going above 35, then you should be able to get better than 22.98 and a HTC desire HD free. Mozart are not flogging that well.. so go for desire HD..

What am I doing wrong?
Can I truly believe other postings telling of similar offers but £5-7 cheaper?Need about 200 mins , a few texts and bit of Internet.

Currently on Dolphin 15(web) = 50+50 minutes ?unl txt no Internet, so I think the upgrades offer isn't too bad by comparison...unless you can tell me otherwise?.......

Sat MARCH 5 via UPGRADES
HTC Desire free. 500 min unl txt 500mb Internet
£17.88 x 24=£429.12


Sat MARCH 5 via RETENTIONS
HTC Desire free. 300 min unl txt 500mb Internet
£17.88 (+£5 ins) x 24=£429.12 (+£120) is insurance compulsory?

Wow thats better than anything I have been offered. I have been with them for 3 years and they wouldnt offer me anything near this? I have til the end of the month til my contract runs out.

Anyone got any ideas?
