@hawkeyetim
I wonder why you find this a problem? I bought my Xoom from CPW on thier TalkMobile contract which runs over the VodaFone Network and here in London i can get speeds of up to 8MBPS. The Xoom cost me just £129.99 on a 24 month £25pm contract and for that i get 5gb of data per month. So as opposed to buying it outright it will cost me over 2years just £129.99 more and i get 5gb of data per month for the additional cost seemed like bargain to me and why i bought mine this way and the Xoom is unlocked to and i received my updates yesterday so am now running official 3.1 as far as I'm concerned buying my Xoom this way from CPW is a great deal.
Marc

The issue I have is that Vodafone is very poor where I live and work so talk mobile is out and the 3 deals are a bit expensive but I might have to bite the bullet and go with 3.

Desire HD - UK Handset only options?

Hi,
Looking for a Desire HD as my first Android Handset; jumping the iPhone ship because I'll be honest, I'm getting bored with how closed it is. So I'm looking for a handset only Desire HD, but not the official SIM free supplied on Amazon, play etc; would prefer a network locked Vodafone UK handset. Has anyone found anywhere cheaper for such a handset? (Except eBay, I really don't trust it).
Thanks in advance.
pretty sure the only way to get just the handset is to buy it outright and simfree.
the alternative is to go on a plan and pay for the handset as part of the plan
im really not to sure what you are asking you cannot buy a 'locked' handset cheaper you can only get it sim free or on plan
I was more thinking along the lines of a pay as you go handset, but not to worry.

i dont think high end handsets are usually offered as a payg or prepaid well at least thats the case here in australia.
i use prepaid but i just buy simfree when its time to upgrade you can generally sell the handset then add another couple hundred and get the new one
Got mine from three for £450 and the first batch appear to be network unlocked.

I got mine on Saturday from Phones4U for £445-00.
As much as I hate that shop, most of the handsets there are unlocked as they can give a wider choice on networks.

Were they willing to sell it to you on PAYG nicely or did they try force you on contract? I doubt they'll have any stock in London..

My two local stores wouldn't sell it on PAYG only on contract as they had limited stock despite advertising it in the store display as available on PAYG. Another store about 30 miles away had plenty of stock and had no issues selling it without a contract.
P4U at the MetroCentre refused to sell me one without a contract, CPW 15 feet away from it were willing to sell theirs @ £495 - more than I wanted to part with so I've took out a contract anyway direct with Vodafone. Roll on delivery time.
I went in 11 phone shops in Norwich, Carphone Warehouse was the only one of them to have ANY in stock (they had 2) and would ONLY sell on contract.
Now i'm stuck in an 18 month contract as I couldn't wait any longer I wanted to buy it sim-free but had no other choice....but wait....f that...

Got SGS II from Carphonewarehouse Talkmobile Contract

Purchased my SGS II from Carphonewarehouse on tuesday 3/5/11.
TalkMobile (Vodafone 2g/3g network)
12month contract
25 pounds per month
300mins
1000 texts
Unlimited Internet <- no fair usage applied
and paid 200 Pounds upfront for the phone.
Firmware:
PDA I9100XWKDD
PHONE I9100XXKDH
CSC I9100XEUKD1
Apologies for the bump.
I'm thinking about going for a similar deal to you, but I'm worried about Talkmobile... Can you, or anyone else, confirm how good they are, especially with data? Do they give the same speed as their parent network, Vodafone?
Many thanks

Hi,
Was this a special deal for you or would anyone be able to get the same deal. I have just checked online and could not find the same deal. Seems like a very good deal.
Thanks
Currently waiting on my SGS II being delivered today. Selected Orange, 24 month contract (600 mins, unlimited txt's, 750 MB data allowance @ £35 via Orange Panther).

First thing to do is check out your 3g speed. Sorry but orange is rubbish for internet speed. Good overall coverage in the u.k but crap signal strength. You should try a swap with a different network provider if u can.

Thank's for the heads up. Will check as soon as it arrives. You wouldn't happen to know if Orange butcher the SGS 2 with their branding on case cover would you? I'd imagine as well it will be locked to Orange too.
The more I think about remaining with Orange the less appealing it seems.

It seems to be available here:
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S-2/MONTHLY/NEW
I'll be going for the £30pm one as it ends up only £10 more expensive over a whole year, and you get an extra 100 minutes
I'm still waiting on mine to arrive 2 weeks after it being sent. To be fair they did send it but the couriers lost it so they will have to send a replacement.
As for Talkmobile - so far very impressed, great 3G coverage and speeds and it appears to be much more reliable for me compared to Orange.
been having nothing but signal problems with the s2 an talkmobile in central/sw london - outside it gets a 3g/H signal, indoors and i'm lucky if it gets edge!
still not sure if its the phone (from all the other threads about poor signal) or the network...
my old iphone 3gs on O2 always managed to get a 3g signal indoor at home/work.

Ah well - it's still better than what others are trying to sell me. I thought maybe you were doing some extreme rounding
Well I just think of it like this. Phone costs 500 right?
25pounds x 12 = 300
+ 200pounds up front for phone
= 500 pounds.
So for 12mths I'm getting phone + intenet & data. So good deal for me. Whereas if I bought the phone straight off for 500 sim only I'd have no data.
Most importantly its a 12month contract so I can move on after a year sgsIII and still be able to sell this sgsII for at least 200pounds.

What? So you're saying that CPW needs a custom firmware to allow the phone to accept sims from any network? Technical data please.
How do the straight from Samsung phones do it on stock firmware?

Any information regarding software upgrades for such located devices etc. and anything else.

Same here (got it on the same day as well)! But I have the $30 unlimited smartphone plan from my old iPhone. Now the cost actually seems worth it since I am getting pretty decent H+ speeds.
I just hope Samsung keeps the updates coming for this phone. There seems to be a lot of interest since they got over 3 million preorders (http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/05/08/samsung.galaxy.s.ii.at.3m.pre.orders.by.may). I showed a few of my friends and they are going to get it when it comes out here in the US.
I'm still pulling the same H+ speeds I was getting on my 2GB smartphone plan. All the AT&T guys were like little kids looking at the phone. Had 6 employees gathered around.
Using it on Att still using my unlimited data for $15. Loving the phone so far, excellent speed data and phone performance.

Still paying $10 for 1000 messages and $25 for 2GB data fro HSPA & 4G with a $10 extra charge when i exceed 2GB. I seem to do that every month. Is there a way to lower my cost?
Purchased for $756 from Clove UK.
Yip, getting H+ and loving it! Though in northern California (Bayarea), its a bit spotty, but loving it nonetheless. More so loving the non AT&T tainted or touched device. No issues so far, I wonder how the international updates are going to affect us.
You lucky SOBs. Still wondering if I should hold out for Samsung tab. So tempting.

I purchased though Handtec May 2nd via Google Checkout payment for $748 I believe. Had clearance/FCC paper that needed to be filled out with FeDex, but still received the device on the 5th of May. Happy with both Handtec (first time ordering with them), and FeDex considering the logistics involved.
I usually order my devices from negrielectronics.com, who have great service as well. No issues getting my Nexus S with NAM 3G band from them. Fast, and on time as well, Handtec just had the SGSII a week early.

Just order from handtec for the same cost with paypal. Awaiting for their shipping notice now.
@buddylee, I remember you when I purchase my X1, you always get the new phone so quickly.
I should be getting mine tomorrow, a day late, because they didn't have the FCC forms for customs clearance. I had to call FedEx like 5 times in order to get the form through haha. Ended up faxing it to someone, they called an hour or two later and said I would get it tomorrow.
My only concern is: What is the phone has defects? How will I have to do to return it?
Would I have to find an individual living in the UK to exchange it for a new one for me?
I'm coming from T-Mobile and their plague on humanity, the G2X. Truthfully, LG should stick to TVs but that's another story. I ordered my SGS2 from Cleverboxes and it's shipping tomorrow via NCS (whatever that means). My remorse period for the G2X is up on 5/19 so I'm getting an Inspire on 5/15 to establish service for the SGS2 on AT&T. I should be able to make a couple of hundred dollars selling a new Inspire on eBay to help offset some of the cost of the SGS2. The SIM will never have been used so the SGS2's IMEI will be what's registered with AT&T when I activate it (assuming their process is the same as T-Mobile's).
Part of what screwed up the G2X is all the T-Mobile crapware that's installed on what's supposed to be a vanilla Google phone. I'm glad to pay the extra money for an unbranded SGS2 just not to have to deal with carrier software, OS modifications, and dependency on them for updates. I also checked and the Samsung warranty is valid since it's a UK phone purchased in the UK. It can even be serviced in the U.S. under their global warranty program. That's something to consider for those of you buying overseas products and getting invoices from a company here in the U.S.
I can't wait for it to get here and be rid of T-Mobile and to have a high quality phone again. I was thinking of getting a Sensation on T-Mobile when it comes out 6/8 but the whole G2X debacle did me in.
I will never get a device from my carrier even with a discount. I am more happy with my device paying full price and without all the carrier bloatware and/or hardware removal!

This is the blueprint
1. Drop your text plan and switch over to google voice (optional)
2. Call up att and tell them you have a device you want to activate on your account with your sim. They will ask what phone it is, lie and say razr or some **** like that ... they will add it on for you then you will lose your smartphone data.
3. The rep will ask if you wish to optionally add the dataplan for non smartphones, you can add it then for $15 unlimited data.
I burn through about 15gb a month

Not really i pre ordered my HTC Desire and LG Optimus 3d and it came to my house 9am on the day both phones were released...
Carphone warehouse on Vodafone £31 per month for 24 months, 32 gig in blue free.
800 minutes any network
Unlimited texts
500 meg data
O2 gave me such a fu©king run around with promising to match that deal, then 2 days later saying they couldn't that I decided to go to Vodafone after 11 years with O2.
Yesterday O2 send me a mail saying my order was being processed for £250 handset at £75 a month for 24 months... I was proper peeved. Sorted now, but put me off O2 a hell of a lot.
this deal is the cheapest I seen so far I think.
Edit: Carphone Warehouse also recon I'll get the handset on release day or day later... not sure I believe that, but we'll see I guess.

The reason they don't need to be on the networks system is, the phone supplied through p4u, cpw, etc are often SIM free. So effectively your network contract might as well be SIM only. All the reseller needs is a price for the phone and an agreed commission for selling plans at particular prices and then they can start taking pre-orders. The bonus is no network branding, which can range from acceptable to dreadful.

All the reseller needs is a price for the phone and an agreed commission for selling plans at particular prices and then they can start taking pre-orders. The bonus is no network branding, which can range from acceptable to dreadful.

So is it better to upgrade through the carrier or the 3rd party? Which is generally better value for money?

I'm supposedly getting my Galaxy Note 2 on Tuesday. My contract is 900 mins, 3000 texts, 1gb data for £33.50. Again, from Phones4u. Is that a decent contract? My current contract is 1200 mins, 3000 texts and 750mb for £32.50.

you've gained 250MB but lost 300 minutes for £1 extra a month. If you don't use your minutes then yes its a good deal. But did you get cashback, as stated earlier I got £200 (well they said it will be in my bank within 42 days)...
Just been told by mobiles.co.UK they don't start to ship until week monday so what company's will ship tomorrow

No I don't get cash back I'm afraid. This is an orange contract but they're giving me 2 orange swappables. That didn't mean anything to me until they explained I can use 2 services that don't tap into my data. I.e. Being able to watch certain programmes or streaming/downloading music without using my data.
Edit: I've never used my full 1200 minutes in all honesty. I rarely use my phones for calls and I still have my magic numbers I guess.
Thats actually a very very good deal!
