Hey guys, I probably have a very good deal, but I just wanted your opinion on this before my 14 days is up.
I got my X1 as an upgrade with O2 in the UK, I paid £100 for the phone itself, then my line rental is £20 / month for 600 mins, 2000 texts and unlimited web, for 18 months. The tariff itself is very good but I am still not sure if the £100 is too much I have paid for the phone itself since I have agreed for a 18 months contract, I was sort of expecting a free phone... but then I had to pay £100 for my old SE W960i which i sadly lost a couple of months ago... And I realized the X1 is quite an expensive handset... what sort of deals do you guys have? Like how much you had to pay for your X1?
Thanks I am indeed having loads of fun with this new toy!
368€ from T-Mobile....
30€ from M1. Contract is on the high side at 60€ monthly (6000 mins, 300 SMS). 20month contract.
I got the handset free, £30 per month - 1000 texts, 600 minutes, unlimited data plan, 18 month contract. Vodafone UK
???
MY FRIEND .. HERE (Bolivia -Latin America) ... FOR A 100 USD PLAN ... YOU HAVE TO PAY 500 USD FOR THE PHONE ... SO .. YOU MADE A GREAT DEAL ... I pay 800 USD in USA for the phone unlock
I'm with O2 UK but through Carphone Warehouse, I told them i was leaving and requested my porting number at which point i was offered the phone for free along with unlimited txt's, calls and web access....all for the grand total of £30pm for 18 months
mhh very good deal !
I signed a 18 month contract with vodafone (uk) in November only a couple of days after the phone had been released.. 900 free minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited web, free phone for 50 pounds a month ..
turns out it is actually way too much .. unlimited texts is pretty cool but I hardly use half the minutes that I ve got .. they told me I ve the option of changing my price plan to something cheaper after 9months so I m probably gonna do that.

At those prices, I'm assuming you got it directly from O2 and not a reseller like CPW.
I got my X1 directly from O2 retentions on an 18 month contract for £24.50/month and a handset price of £97. That includes 600mins, 500txts doubled up to 1000 as it is an online account and unlimited web bolt-on. You've done okay yourself. I'm guessing you've been with O2 a year or two longer than me and built up 40% discount (I only built up 30%) as you seem to have a very similar deal to the one I got last Thursday.
One thing I would recommend though.... make sure you've got insurance for your phone! If your home insurance doesn't cover it, then contact O2 about having your handset covered. I think it is something like £7-£8 a month but covers accidental damage as well as lost or stolen and the excess is £25. I broke the screen on my old XDA Exec a couple of times and got a replacement within 2 working days each time.
I guess my deal is actually very good in the UK market then. Yes I got it directly from O2 retention. This is my 5th or 6th contract with O2 now, so I was told I am getting the absolute max discount I can get. I was trying to knock the price down for the phone to 50, but of course they wouldn't do it, unless I go onto the 45 / month plan which I would end up paying more in 18 months time...
They were gonna give me 21/month with 1000 text, I said no, switching to Orange (I made up a plan that I was being "offered" from Orange), then they said OK, they will match it, this is why I got 20 / month with 2000 texts. Not much different as 2000 texts is way too much... can't even do 500.
I was looking at my old records, I did get 15 off a month before (I have always been on the O2 35), but for some reasons, they didn't give it to me last year, it was because I wanted a 12 months contract, so an extra fiver a month or sth, but worth it, or I would have had to wait for another 6 months for the X1...
Zenith, I got my phone on the same day as you, the first day they said the phone is back in stock, been waiting since Dec last year... now it's out of stock again... lucky us!
27 pounds a month
I got mine at 27 pounds a month with 50 pounds handset price on an 18 month contract last november. Sadly after that I could not get a similar deal for my brother as it got out of stock the very same evening. Just today, I got another 27 pound deal for my brother, thats almosyt 2 months later.
I have been an o2 customer for 12 months and got a 40 percent discount through retention.
Dutch vodafone, 18 euro's a month + internet 9,50 euro.
Phone was free, bought it last week
Free X1i, 1000mins, 100 txts, unlimited data, free weekend calls, £25 per month. O2 UK upgrade.

Hi Guys, my deal was a shop purchase upgrading after two previous 18 month contracts with uk vodafone. Initially they offered the same deal but the handset was £35, but when I kicked up about being a 3-4 year vodafone customer with a £40 bill every month they worked their magic and gave it to me. Im guessing the fact that I've spent between £1500 - £2000 with them previously gave me a good deal

Hey, how long have you been with O2 and how much you pay roughly for your bills? If you don't mind me asking! Seems you have the best deal I have ever heard of. Are they still doing free weekend calls? Coz they won't give it back to me.
LOL ! I got mine for a US Grand (1000$ for those who don't know). Tax in. good deal, my friend xD.

Hi. Sorry for the delay! I've been with O2 since 1999. The deal I got was the same as my previous one.

Ok - time to take the plunge to put away my trusty P900 and get a Wizard in what ever guise it is in the UK - either with T-mobile/O2 etc. Currently with orange but can move anythime I want,
Anyway - wondering if anyone has found a really good deal on it - and if so - care to tell me /us where - so I can order one. Looking at cheapest option over a 12 month period preferably but may go for a 18month contract is the deals really good.
Scott
Depends what kind of usage you intend on. For example, you can get it on O2 online 100 for £99.99. That's £25 per month with 500 texts and 100 anytime cross network calls.
T-Mobile is similar though with around 100 texts i think.
Anyone know of any other good deals or perhaps have any idea of how much an upgrade on this thing costs? I am currently on the tariff above and am worried that it'll cost me loads to upgrade :-(

I just took out a new Web and Walk contract on T-Mobile, you get 200 minutes, 5 picture messages and 40mb GPRS to use per month. Its 16 quid a month for 9 months then 29 a month for another 9, over 18months. The Vario is free so to speak, I could not believe how cheap it was, because on their site the only way to get phone for free is to have 1000 mins contract at 80 a month and thats not including any GPRS.
I did this in the T-Mobile shop, they said its an introductory offer for Web and Walk and its very cheap indeed. But you need to go to your local T-Mobile shop, in Chester we have two, one is not very good the other is excellent, so just find a good shop with decent staff.

The third one down says £38, web and walk 200, but you get some 1/2 price line rental at £19. I'm paying 16 and it goes up to 32 for 9 months, not 29 as i said before, which is cheaper than that if you go direct to T-Mobile shop.
I'm on the same T-Mobile deal.
200 mins, 40MB of GPRS. "Self service" knocks a few quid off, too. Phone is free, and it's 9 months half price line rental, 6 months full price, then the last 3 months half price too.
You can change tariff after 11 months.
it is an 18 month contract, and there's no 14 day "cooling off" period.
Cheers for that. Am i right ref change of tariff, anyone know if you downgrade the tariff after 11 months - do they claw back any money?
Scott
I'm on Web and Walk 200 mins 40mb
Half price line rental for 12 months normal price for last 6
Self service for extra cheapness.
Free handset.
I can't tell you the exact costs because i was a little hungover when i ordered it (from tmobile telesales which was a better deal than the tmobile store) and i haven't had a bill yet
P.S i had a 7 day cooling off.
Cheap vario
http://www.scancom.co.uk/product.php/1202/330//244cc65073bacb35ea31039e26c4d0ad
This is the cheapest package I found to get a Vario, on Ufix 15. I wasn't interested in the contract, just the phone.
Is the Self service option only available if I order via T-mobile shop - as not seen it yet on a website. Handy to save a few quid

Not sure, you could ring them on 0845 412 2401 and ask.
Don't ring 150 from your phone if/when you get it to speak to customer services its 50p a minute, I think even to check the automated minutes remaining bit, I registered on the website and check it from there.
This is the deal on the t-mobile website:-
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menuid=webnwalk200_mda_vario
and thinks thats not bad. Will call them tomorrow because if I can then downgrade tarrif in Month 11, its a pretty good deal but no self service discount I rekon as its full price £35 in months 10 -15.

Yes thats the one I'm on 16 a month for 9 months etc, self service, you still get a paper bill, but its not itemised, you don't need a paper bill unless you are a complete luddite because its all online, otherwise if you were bothered you'd not be having self serve. Hell they could reduce it even more if they did not send you a bill and the other crap each month like promotions. That would knock at least another £2 a month off !!!!
Half price line rental for 12 months normal price for last 6

Just a small correction - it's half price for 9 months, then full price for 6, then half price for the last 3...
You can definitely change tariff after 11 months, yes
Best Deal Yet on O2
Hey Scott
O2 are doing the deal of the year totally by mistake. have just put a post up about it. (Check it out).
Although be prompt they will have to put a stop to it soon.
Best Regards - Ash'e
AKA - SION
Posted it in another thread but seems it fits here as well.
http://www.mobileswizard.co.uk/display.asp?hs=xdaminis&tariff=none
to compare O2 plans and how much you will end up paying if bought online
and this for T-Mobile
http://www.mobileswizard.co.uk/display.asp?hs=mdav&tariff=none
I like the info on the right saying "Min Term Cost"
gives you an idea of how much you will end up paying.
There are rumors about O2 tradein offer (if you get phone in 25 quid) it is cheaper making it. £217
Or even if you dont get trade in and have an offline tariff for £16 you will be paying £291. (£99 for phone)
Think anyone can beat that??????
let me know I am after the phone.
Hello, What deals did you guys get when you ordered your o2 xda?
I got it on upgrade for 80 pounds and new 12 month contract with 12 half price on O2 200 ( 15 pounds a month ) which is quite good deal. What about yours?
I got it for free on their 400 Minutes and 100 Texts 12 Month contract.
I also get double minutes and texts for 6 months.
£45 per month.
I've got insurance for £5 and 5mb Data for £8 on top of that though.

I assume its new contract rather than upgrade?
Sorry, yeah, it was a new contract
I just upgraded to the Mini S from an XDA IIs, got a great deal from O2 UK.
I searched around on the internet and found the Mini S available for free on O2 250 (£35 p/month with 250 mins & 50 texts - the tariff I was already on) from http://www.buymobilephones.net.
When I called O2 to enquire about upgrade price they quoted me £79.99, so I told them I could get it for free elsewhere, on the same tariff etc, and that I'd cancel my contract unless they could match the deal above.
In the end they still charged me £79.99 for the handset but gave me 3 months free line rental (equal to £105!!!)
ALWAYS haggle on the phone and if necessary threaten to cancel your contract! I did the same thing when I got my XDA IIs and got £100 knocked off the upgrade price at the time...
I got mine last week - runs great (after dumping the o2 stuff).
I'm on O2 200 (upgrade contract), & I got it the XDA Mini-s for free, plus I reminded them about their offer of 50% extra minutes, and texts for life. I had to sign up for an 18 month contract though. I spent a couple of hours doing some research though, so I told them initially I was going to cancel my contract with them. Then they went to referrals, and told me I could have it for free
Happy days.
Anyone got any price / tariffs for the hero on these networks?
Let's be honest, an educated guess is going to be pretty near the money.
I would imagine free to buy on a 40/month for 24 months.
60 quid to buy on a 40/month for 18 months
120 quid to buy on a 40/month for 12 months
170 quid to buy for a 30/month for 12 months.
I bet those are pretty close to the actual numbers. I have done no real analysis so take the numbers as pure conjecture but they are bound to be close.
If you Google the hero then you do get a number of 3rd party sites which give details of the tarrifs.
e.g. http://www.buymobilephones.net/mobi...unt/85,13642?gclid=CMOQz7-z4JsCFZ4A4wodDTsOAA
Dont quote me on the validity of this site as I just took it from a Google search.
as far as I'm aware it is free on 40+ on orange who are releasing it tomorrow, just confirmed few moments ago.

how do you know? where has this been confirmed? SOURCE? Im gonna burst if this is true!
Orange HQ definitely have stock of the Hero, but the retails shops don't (yet).
I phoned in about 2 weeks ago, and asked to be notified when the handset was available. I've just had a call back, and mine is out for delivery tomorrow.
Got a stunning deal as well. Was offered the following two tariffs:
Free Hero, 12 month contract, 600 minutes, 500 texts, 200 landline - £37.19/month
Free Hero, 18 month contract, 900 minutes, 500 texts, unlimited landline - £34.26/month
Those prices include VAT and two months free internet. Internet is a £5/month bolt on after that.
Went for the 12 month deal, as I hate to be tied in for too long.
By my reckoning, I'll be paying £446.19 over 12 months, which seems pretty good given that the handset is £399.
I phoned my local Orange shop, and they can't get anywhere close to that deal. On their price book, a free Hero was only available on a £40/month, 24 month contract. Expansys could match the monthly price, but not the number of minutes, and it would have been on T-Mobile as well (the handset would been SIM free, though). As I'm not a fan of white phones, I went with Orange.
Bagpuss.
There is a issue with the database so cant get one just yet just try later
Sorted - Orange just rang back and I should have mine with in 3 days? but should be tomorrow.
Tariff Details - Panther 45 (1200Mins, Unlimited Text and 500MB data) with £5 web save and 25% discount for 18 month contract. So about £27 per month (NICE)

You are one of the lucky ones. When I was with Orange and had "Unlimited" data, I went over 500mb one month and they charged me. When querying with them, they advised of the "fair usage policy" which is written into all the terms and conditions and unlimited actually means within reason.

Great for using the handset as a modem on my MacBook Pro !
Well mine states unlimited data too and unlimited text- each having a limit of 500MB and 3000 txt- all the networks have a similar policy, so its not really unlimited.
All providers states that the allowance does not include the use of the phone for tethering - but this still goes mostly undetected by the provider if you set it up right on the laptop.
Just ordered mine with o2 on the phone. Arrives tomorrow or Monday
YAY!
Free phone, 18mnths, £29.83 p/m, 600mins, 1000txt, unlimited broadband.
Bargain!
Did you order online? if so which site?
No, I just called o2 and ordered it over the phone!
Let the fun begin, I just called o2 and yes its available but they want me to sign upto a £45 per month contract to get the phone free.... I told them where to stick it.....
Lets see what others get offered....
Called again using a none o2 number and number and was told it's not available online or over the phone, when I quoted the above price he said that it was incorrect and the £29.83 price is for a 24 month contract. Maybe worth checking the contract period.....
So in summary if you call 202 from a o2 handset they are available, but if you call 08442 020202 they are not available. Instore & business customers can also buy them....
Well, I think I got it cheaper because I am an existing customer. I called upgrades and they said £45 per month contract to get the phone free. I called up retentions and said I was leaving and they said £30 per month for a free phone

Went into an O2 shop a few days ago who said they don't do HD phones. Not too worried as I got mine delivered yesterday on t-mobile for £34pm, free phone and web. Their loss.
The o2 shop where I am said they would be in on Monday 23rd
They released it this morning actually I rang to see what they would offer and managed to get one for free on £35 a month for 18 months.
Now I have a spare HD2!

So is it 24month instead of 18 month, isn't it?
Ah yes, you're absolutely correct, my mistake! It's 24 not 18
I just got a really good deal IMO.
I was on the simplicity £20 contract (so the same 600 mins, 1000 texts and unlimited internet)
And they offered it to me...
Stay on the same 1 month rolling contract @ £20 a month and pay £277 for the phone.
I went for this, because 1 month contract and £277 works out brilliant for me! if another phone comes along... say a tegra device or WM7 in March then I can upgrade as normal when ever I want.

Mine understanding for deal is that you are acturally tied for 12month.
it is simplisity deal, but there is a minimum period of 12month......
please check
I did check,
His first description of it, was instead of going on a contract I can buy the phone outright from them at cost price.
I then asked, so if after 2 or 3 months I wanted to upgrade as normal to a different phone, I could? and he said yes.

I am ordering my hd2 form o2 next week and just looked on there site to check its in stock and nosited that they have changed the packages they they will do and also put the phone up by £50
why not do what i did and order it through a 3rd party online. you wont have to pay £50 and your billed direct by o2 anyway.......
or get it on virgin, you get more for your money... they use the t-mobile network.

It's worth paying the extra on O2 though virgin/tmobile network is utterly useless compared to O2...
One bad thing about O2 though... their online stock monitoring means bugger-all... you have to call up to find out if they have stock... I ordered mine online and it took them 1 1/2 weeks to get it to me, despite it stating "in stock" on the website when I ordered and throughout the period I was waiting, when their phone staff were telling me it was out of stock with no projected arrival date...
Just check on the website... seems their plans have gone up in price by roughly 5 quid/month... yikes! I got 600 mins/1000 texts/unlimited data for 35/month with 100 for the phone... they're now claiming unlimited texts, but who uses more than 1000 a month?
Ouch! That is a big price rise! I got mine 600 Mins/100Texts/Unlimited Data for £35 with a free phone (upgrading)!
mms
Hi guys, kinda off topic but was wondering if any of you o2 uk users are able to use mms when flashing with a cooked rom...
I cant recieve them at all with cooked ROM, even after manualy inputting settings.
If you can send and recieve plz could I know what ROM u use
Regards and Thanx

can i ask were did u order your from??
I just got mine for free on wednesday on o2. they price matched t mobile. it took me 2 visits to the shop and a call.....
30 a month 24 month contract 600 mins 500 texts. the day before they wanted 100 for the phone on same terms.
haggle em. its well worth it.
posting this from my hd2 now lol. it rocks!
igot mine on virgin £25 a month 500mins 3000 texts 1gb internet usage phone cost £79 and thats on a 18month contract thats £529 over the 18months the phone its self cost about £500 so its a good deal
What Gav said - I got mine from o2 price matched to T-mobile (i think) meant I got the phone for free on an upgrade - £35 a month for 600 mins, too many texts to use and unlimited interweb access.
yes i heard about this, because the are really low on stock in o2 for that phone, i hv ordered mine online 2 months ago and Im on 24 months, 25 pounds a month, 600 + 200 minutes,unlimited text and unlimited data with free phone, but I was upgrading so maybe it is dif than signing on new contract.

which is probably why the price increase, , ,, also to prime the market for a 'sale - price drop on hd2!' in a few months.

Hi.
get the phone sim-free on either the Orange or Vodafone network from zero cost, go here: mobiles.co.uk
With it being sim-free you can get latest ROM+updates from HTC directly. Besides really good offers on at the moment. Have got 3 HD2's from this company NO PROBLEMS with any of the three handsets.
O2 and Vodafone network are messing about with HD2 because of Apple pressure (iphone). Orange is also best network for HSPDA connection.
well... hearing this, I've got quite good upgrade deal dec. last year. £35 per month plus free web bolt on, 18 mths contract and hd2 for about 30 quid.
Virgin also here

Just upgraded to HD2 today with o2 and got 1200 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data (web use) and free o2 to o2 calls for £40 per month on a 24 month contract and the free phone will be delivered Tuesday.
Was going to switch to T-Mobile if they could not give me a good deal as T-Mobile were offering 1200 mins, 500 texts, unlimited data, and an unlimited land-line calls bolt-on, on a 24 month contract with free phone for £35 per month, but unfortunately there coverage is not to good here where I live.
It seems we have all paid way different prices. Mine was £50 for the handset, and then 02 18 mth contract @ £35 a month, for 600mins, 500 text and unlimited data connection.
