Thanks Steer that's the phone and deal i was looking for. Did they say when it would be back in stock? Can they take the order and just dispatch the phone when it arrives in stock?

As its a new phone they could not tell me, when i called the guy said yes its in stock, and when he went to order they had all gone, i was gutted.
What he did was creat me a "offer" and they will send me a text when the phone is back in stock, as soon as it is i call back and take up the agreed offer... abit of a pain but only thing they do!

well my diamond arrived today and first impressions are im really impressed. It is much smaller than i imagined. It really is a nice looking phone and very functional. The touch flo is really responsive and smooth. The phone comes locked however the isim from dealextreme unlocks it and am now using my three sim card it the device. Automatically sets up to the network with regards to setting mms/web etc. Have set up my email accounts to the handset and it really is very easy to do, as in almost fully automated once you put in your email adress.

I just rang Orange to see what they'd offer me as I'm due an upgrade soon. Didn't like what I was offered, so went through to retentions and they just accepted my cancellation without asking why I was cancelling! Contract to be cancelled soon and they don't care!

well im considering just cancelling my contract and taking a new contract anyway
the quidco £150 deal covers the £40 phone cost and a change of number doesnt hugely bother me
i would upgrade but the orange site isnt alowing this just now so either do it online with quidco or on the phone without.easy choice

just ask for your pac and port it to a payg sim (not orange), only takes 2 days now. Then port back to your new orange contract. Would imagine you could do it all within a week so not much of a hassle really
