anyone got the SE W705? really want to know what this phone is like!

Im now thinking Ive not got a good deal, I get 200 mins 400 msgs, free 02 calls and free web atm for £20 a month on 12 months. I agreed to 200 mins, 400 texts free o2 calls (dont use these o2 calls), £10 a month for 18 months. Add on the web bolt in £7.50 brings upto £17.50 so save £2.50 a month but its for a extra 6 months!

Then the phone, the tocco, I got on my last renewal but sent it back as it was broke. So am wanting a much better phone this time, which is fair?

They wont let me cancel or change the contract until the phone is back with them but Ive not got it yet as only ordered it 13 hours ago!

I was offered a Blackberry Bold on an 18 month contract with 600 mins, 1000 texts and unlimited internet for £20p/m. O2 wanted about £95 as a contribution towards the phone.

I had a second contract that was expiring and Vodafone have just phoned me after I requested a PAC. They have offered me the Blackberry Bold for free, 250 mins, 100 texts, unlimited internet and email for £19.50 p/m.

I don't need the extra minutes and texts so I am pleased that I have got a good deal.

What is the phone like? i was considering this one? How did you get free web Ive been told they cant do this on under £30 a month contracts

It's a £35 a month contract for 18 months, but with £15 knocked off each month, I actually asked to cancel and for my PAC code. I had no intentions of staying, but they offered this deal so said I would think about it and rang them back a couple of days laer as I couldnt match it or come close elsewhere.

As for the phone, phones really dont bother me and I won't be making use of all its features, though web browsing is fairly good and will be very useful (only reason i have kept the phone instead of selling it on!).

I don't use it for music, although it does produce good sound, and the videos are excellent. Apart from that, I only really use it for an alarm, texts and voice calls! So not the best person to ask!

Well ive now been told I cant have the 5800 as promised by several representatives and was also told the free web bolt on is being taken off and i cant have that now too! waiting for a call back now but think ill say bye bye just for being messed around yet again

The Nokia 5800 is the closest thing to an iphone.

I'm not particularly interested in mine, though web browsing is good (why I have it), other than that I only call and text!

I disagree the only comparison is they are touch screen, I had a 5800 and found it awkward and clunky to use. I now have an iphone and it is the best phone I have ever had,

I only said it's the closest thing to an Iphone, didnt say one was better than the other.

The iphone should be better, considering the higher price.

ok so now they are denying ever offering me the 5800 on £10 month (£15 loyalty discoun) with or without the web bolt on they said I could have £15 with a web bolt on but got cut off. so rang back and was told now its £20 month. how can it double in a day?

Just to let you know if you dont get the deal you want request your PAC code then the next working day you should get a phone call from their specialist "Win Back" team who have the ability to offer you greater discounts. I got 200 mins, 400 texts, free 02 calls and free web for £10 mth on 18mth contract with LG renoir
