    3 have just offered me-either HTC Wildfire-2k mins,5k texts,
    3k 3-3+unlimited net usuage on 18months contract 4 £20/month Or Desire 4 £23. What do U guys think? Any better offers out there?
    Should I haggle for The HD version? Or go into a shop?
    Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself. :)

    I just told them that there was NO WAY anyone would use all the mins etc unless they were on the mobile 24/7 and that if they wanted my custom then I want a 12 or 18 month contract.... so it went on ... pls hold... came back with that offer. Simplers.

    MY dilemma ... try to negotiate for Desire HD or

    Options - Iphone 4 (iphone 5 coming soon), samsung s, htc or sony x10?

    BTW Guys, Any one wanting a HTC then it may be an idea to get it quick ...earthquakes etc in Japan has caused 3 car manufactures to shut down until further notice.

    Honda, Toyota and Mitsubishi have had thousands of their new cars on fire or tsunami flooded.

    Taiwan's new car stocks will only last 4 weeks.

    My point being that 90% of material used for smart phone come from Japan..smart phone supplies may be cut off in two weeks?

    HTC (Taiwan Brand) stock price crashed today...and they rely heavily on Japan.

    HTH

  • Just rang again asking if i need to put in writing that I want to terminate my contract, (I requested my PAC a week or so ago and contract expires on 4th April) to say i intended to take up a deal for the samsng galaxy s on T-mobile I'd seen on buymobiles.net. I asked politely if he could offer a better deal.
    He came back with:
    12 month contract, sim only, 500 mix and match mins/texts, 2GB for £8.
    i said I wanted the handset, he suggested buying one separately, i asked how much it would be to buy with them, he said I couldn't buy that particular handset, i enquired about a contract with HTC Desire and what deals he could offer. He came back with:
    24 month contract, refurbished handset, 1GB data, 500 mix and match for £23.
    Doesn't seem great, does it! I think I'll be going eleswhere, even though it will mean getting embroiled in redemption deals!

  • my second 18 month contract expired in February.
    I was on 500 mix & match for about £18
    Didnt fancy any of the deals they offered. really just want more minutes as I dont text that much,offered me 500 minutes and 500 texts but turned it down, for the moment im on a rolling contract still 500 mix & match plus around 2gb for £13.
    would really like an iphone or htc hd but didnt offer anything below £30 for hd 2000 minutes unlimited text and internet .dont want to pay more that £20 and dont need half of what theve offered.
    must call and see what offers they have now .and maybe just leave them.
    cheers
