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.

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.

Buying HD2

Any get a good deal on the HD2?
Im due a phone upgrade and looking to get a good deal.
Seems voda have dropped the HD2 in the uk, which is a shame as they offer £100 cashback
tmob not so generous with the cashback.
Im quite happy to buy the phone network free and sort my own etwork if the price is good
Happy to hear your suggestions

I guess all leo owners here did not get a good deal or maybe not want to tell
I will be coming from topaz forum to leo forum next week, i ordered from Tmob uk

best deal so far at mobilephonesdirect

I got mine direct from vodafone.
Free handset £40/month/18 month contract with 900 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited landlines, 'unlimited' data and £90 cashback from quidco - which equates to £35/month.

Order at Mobiles.co.uk through Quidco on Vodaphone or Tmobile and get £50 cashback. Phones unlocked and unbranded.

T Mobile release price plans - a bit pricey IMO

Here's the scoop if you haven't seen it already..

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?

[Q] Good deals on the Optimus 7?

Hi guys
Does anyone know of any good deals for the Optimus 7 in Britain? I'll consider both contract and handset only.
Thanks

Vodafone contract
Vodafone are offering the phone free for £30 a month (24Months) or £35 (18months). However if you are an existing customer and been on a higher tariff such as the £40 Blackberry you can negotiate the price down by £5 a month by going through the call centre.
So I've just upgraded and taken an 18 month contract at £30 a month with free phone. This gives me 600 minutes and 500MB.
This is significantly cheaper than other networks are offering a WP7 phone, Orange and O2 are £45 for 18 month contracts. I considered the HD7 and Samsung Omnia but opted to stay with Vodafone as the LG had good reviews and 16GB compared to the Omnia. HD7 looked good if not a little bulky but I wasnt going to pay an extra £270 over the lifetime of the contract.

Has anyone found a place to buy the Optimus 7 sim free in the UK? I've got one pre-ordered from Expansys but they still don't have any details on availability.
I'm tied into my contract with T-Mobile until November (damn 18 month contracts) from when I got my HD2 through mobilephonesdirect.co.uk so my only option is to go sim free. I'm not too keen on buying an unlocked handset from eBay (I've seen a few on there but don't know how much I trust them) - I'd like one stock without any of the Vodafone alterations.
