Orange M5000 pricing

£299 on Talk 120 can't say anything else right now.
Also, there may be a way to get the Exec for £326 all inclusive, watch this space 8) Not as good a deal as I ended up getting for my MDA Pro, but pretty fine all the same.
Should have news on the VPA IV soon too. Looks like the 28th October date I gave a while back was off. Also, off topic, if I just get myself a Vodafone data tariff, I can get any of the 'phones listed as "free" for free. Which should I get to ebay?

First delivery due week beginning 24th October!

£10 cheaper than the Orange shops then, and with a date to boot! Good find, Brian.

where can i buy the magician sim free uk?

and around about £200 brand new?
thanks

Probably very hard, Buzz claimed he found some on the web a few days ago for your price €200 I believe. He didn't mention where though. Try to PM him.
As the magician is retired now the shops won't be selling them I guess, at least in The Netherlands they almost all switched to the Wizard.
Success, M

That kind of price is going to be very difficult to find but there are other ways to get closer to that price. My brand new, telecom unbranded, unlocked Qtek S110 (yes 128mb RAM) will have cost me a total of £280 (I bought it in December). Here's how:
1) Signed up to an affiliate program that gives you cash back.
2) Bought the phone on an O2 12 month contract from internet company via the affiliate link.
3) The phone cost me £29.
4) I pay 6 lots of £30 rental per month.
5) At the six month point (or just before) I switch my contract to the cheapest £16 a month rental.
Cost:
Initial outlay = £29
6 x £30 = £ 180
6 x £16 = £96
= £305
minus £25 that I get back from the affiliate network
= £280!
AND, I get 6 months of 200 xnet minutes and 100 messages per month and then 6 months of 25 xnet minutes and 25 messages for free!
And the good thing was that the phone I bought was mobile unbranded and unlocked! But that does depend on the place you buy it from.

O2 Germany charging 710€ for blackstone??

Dear O2 Germany users, need help here:
I got it with Handy-M, I pay ~470€ once, AND 10€ per month just for the phone!! (20€ monthly basis price). That by simple maths means: I pay 470 + (10 x 24 months) = 710€ for the handy!!! Help me out here, am I missing something or are they really over-charging me 710€ - (market price: 540€) = 170€ ??
Thanks for the help!! (I posted this before in another thread, didnt get any feedback )

You should have asked this question BEFORE getting the phone. Get ready to pay and have fun.
BTW, I paid 510 € for a TIM-branded one (but not simlocked).

I'm also at o2 Germany.
Touch HD: 429,99€
+ o2 Active 100 (100 free SMS and minutes): 15€ per month!
I think there's a small mistake in your claculation

me too,
429€ for the phone
15€/month(incl 100freesms and 100freeminutes) + 25€ for internet flat(resignable all 3 months)

Thanks, but its a different package than Genion M. (I talk 100 free minutes every day ... a bit exaggerated though )

when you get in that ring, you can't get out so easy. I have same experience with 3 Ita, You Must finish your 24 month contract
edit: If really have 100 mins calling every day for 24 months, what you want more

I have bought it over eBay. It costs 109 Euro plus a montly base fee of 15 Euro for 24 months long. So it will cost 470 Euro's for me, really cheap I think.

lool

my HD price
I got my HD from Orange UK online store. The handset should be 293.5 pounds, plus 24-month contract for 20 pounds each month (400 minutes plus 100 messages).
However, they just made a mistake on the price, and I got the phone at 29.5 pounds only (just missed "3"). Very very good luck. The contract price is: 29.5+20*24=510 pounds.

How much did you pay for your SGS i9000?

Did you get it with the carrier & sign a contract? or Purchased it unlocked?
Personally i got mine for $650 directly 16GB version, i hate phone carriers contracts
I've read some people seems to have paid less even without carriers.
on ebay the average price for the 16GB version is around $750

Mine is going to cost me about £500 in total on an 18 month contract with 600 mins, texts and data.

$550 shipped to the US

There already was a topic about this thing,
I payed ~390 euro (500$) for mine.

380£ for the i9000 8GB version+8GB SD card.
It's so much fun not having to pay VAT. lol.

It depends which version.
The smaller 8GB ones are in the $500-550 range nowadays.
The larger 16GB version goes for about $120-$170 more.
I paid almost $800 delivered for my 16GB
I like the larger storage, since I used to have sporadic corruption with SD cards in WM, and from what I read Android is not exempt from these, either. I want peace of mind when I am on the road and don't have a backup.

£280 all in (inclusive of VAT) with a third party seller on a really crappy contract, but I already have a contract with T-Mobile which I'm now using in the SGS. Mine is an unlocked, unbranded 8gb stock phone, so free of carrier crap too.
Dialaphone - £20pm 18mth O2 contact, downgradeable at month 9 to £15pm, plus I got £35 cashback by going through TCB. The O2 contract is really crap - 100 minutes, unlimited texts and no data allowance, but £280 for a stock SGS is damn good. They stopped doing the O2 deal earlier this week, though.

€ 380 for the 8GB version, no contract. Not paying VAT is nice.

£410 at Carphone Warehouse, SIM free and unlocked.

£355 from o2 unlocked, to get it you have to already have been with o2 for about 6 months I think and then you can ask to purchase a phone from them (i.e. say im unhappy with current phone but dont want to affect contract) this wasn't the best deal by a long way (desire £285) but i wanted this phone.

Damn, Holland is expensive.
16GB with 200minutes/400texts/unlimited data for 2 years at 650€

Bollocks! If I knew this I could have saved some money. Is the phone unlocked?

T Mobile release price plans - a bit pricey IMO

doesn't seem too bad a deal.
£320 + £10 p/m for 2 years
so
(£10 x 24) + £320 = £560
sim free the phone is £470
£560 - £470 = £90 / 24 months = £3.75
£3.75 2 year contract for 100 minutes, unlimited texts and internet.
is my maths correct?
