Have a look at E2Save on Orange - that's about the best that I know of at the mo'. Approx £440 for first year of contract.

Have a look here:

Only had a quick glance at it, not sure if its just for business customers cause they mention 'Orange Business Specialist' at the top of the page.

Don't know anything about this company myself, others might have.
I'm looking for a P910 myself.

I phoned Orange today to see how much it would cost to upgrade to a P910i, was told £250. Told them thats much too expensive, girl said thats the best she could do but she could put me through to 'Retentions'. Spoke to a guy there, told him what phone it was I was looking, he offered it at £110. Queried could I get it any cheaper if I upgraded my price plan aswell (currently paying £25/month), was told "No, that makes no difference to the price". Asked for my PAC code to see if that would make any difference, but it didn't. Have to decide now if its worth £110, think it probably is.

Got mine for £50 on a £25/month contract with Vodafone but I suspect that the person I dealt with made an error. Should have been much more than that but I had negotiated the price of a P900 down to £50 only to find out that they had discontinued it so he said he'd just send me a P910i instead.

Think about it this way...£300 for your tariff over 12 months + £110 for the handset = £410. You could sell the phone on for at least this price (cheapest online is currently £450 @ Phones4U but they're currently out of stock - before you ask, they were definitely previously in stock at this price)...so you could effectively have the contract for free if you're willing to stick with your current handset. I'd say that counts as a good a deal.

Yeah I suppose it is a good deal. What do you think of the phone by the way

Try the following link for P910. Cheapest price I can find for the phone, although the monthly contract may hurt!!!! http://www.phones2udirect.co.uk/Products/type/phones/ProductID/5316/NetworkID/5/Sony_Ericsson_P910i.asp#47049

Sorry, after clicking the link above, look for the Orange Pay Monthly link!!!

Sold it before I'd even switched it on. ;-)

My trusty 6310i will do me fine for a few years yet - just wanted to get the best "value" out of the renewal.

The guy I sold it to seems very happy with it though and he was even happier when I told him that I was going to drop my asking price because I couldn't bring myself to ask for more than the cheapest high-street price available (I only spotted the P4U £450 price after we had agreed a higher one).

I also rang Orange today for an upgrade price for a P910i (currently got a Treo 600) and was initially told £400 plus a £50 fee for being on a low (£18pm) tariff!!! >:(

After pointing out that it would be MUCH cheaper for me to take my number to another network to get a P910i with a new contract and requesting my PAC code they put me on hold for a couple of mins then said £220. Told them I'd think about it but obviously still being conned!!! >:(

Will phone them back tomorrow armed with this new information and see where I get...

Phil_P - If you wanted to stay with Orange and keep your same number, an option might be to port your number to Vodafone PAYG, then port it back to Orange (so joining them as a new customer). Not sure if this would be any cheaper or not. It would probably take over a month aswell.
There is another thread on this forum which talks about this process.
