O2 @ carphone warehouse upgrades - Touch Cruise General

Hi,
Has anyone upgraded to the Orbit 2 on O2 at the carphone warehouse? I've been through to them and the best they seem to be able to offer me is the phone for free and the 600min, 1000txts, web bolton for 32.50 per month.
Wanted to know if anyone got a better deal or if i should take this one?
thanks

CPW sucks. why don't you go straight to o2? Don't be lazy.

I WANT to go direct to O2. I hate CPW but O2 will charge me £50 for the phone and CPW will give me the phone free and an (all be it small) discount on the tariff.
Definately not being lazy, spoken to O2 loads on the phone and no joy with them.
what can you do!

Go into an O2 shop? I got a better deal in an O2 shop than I could haggle over the phone to O2

Since expansys is selling a no-brand device, should work also here... Probably expansys forward your request to the Italian branch so you'll pay the italian price instead of the UK's price
Hi!
I'm brazinlian boy and i'd like so much buy this phone, i have a friend that he will go back to italy i 'm thinking ask him to buy one for me...so, has anyone who knows some site(italian, expansys i already know) to buy this? in brazil, but this gadgets is a hole of ****! in Brazil doesnt have HTC and waranty goes heaven and the price very expansive!example if you would like to buy htc p3600 outside brazil you can find around $500. Here it costs around R$2000,00($more than $1000).
Sorry for my bad english
bye!

The difference in the price depends mostly on what the package include (i.e. Navigation Software). If you buy your device from expansys it is sim-unlocked to use in any network. If you buy it from somewhere else... ensure first that it is not sim locked.

I don't understand device price structuring, how does Apple sell iPhone for 399$

iPhone is locked to AT&T who subsidizes the cost of the unit. Adding over a million subscriptions for two years of service with many of them being new services (from other carriers) just to get 'the phone'. Costs AT&T next to nothing because they are not adding infrastructure, just filling bandwidth that has been somewhat idle. . . the business model is pretty good. Apple gets their cost+profit on the sale of the device while AT&T reap service and data plan charges. They don't even effect their HSDPA bandwidth because the device is EDGE/GPRS.

Yeah I understand the kickback scheme. But the device is still sold independently of carriers (ie. Apple Stores), so you're saying over half a million unlocked devices were/are sold at cost or at a loss to Apple?

If you want one, I can send it to your personal adress. My price is 500 euros; 50 e lesser than I bought. the post fees are offer.
Cordialy,
information:
o2 warranty is just for first buyers. ppl who buy a 'used' (doesn matter if or not) cant send it to o2 if it has any issues. even if you have the original pay-off
thats what is written in my o2 warranty card (germany)
re

Hope this helps,
Thanks

[Q] Where to buy in UK?

Where did many of you buy your O3D from in the UK?
Looking on network sites I could only find 3, Tmobile and Orange offering the phone so far and all 3 of them on their websites say "coming soon".
I got mine from Handtec,they are UK based.
Got mine from earphone warehouse , should be available through orange direct in the next 2 weeks
I got mine from Carphone Warehouse aswell.
Try popping into the stores of the various networks rather than checking the websites. You might find the stores have it in stock even if the websites don't.
Tesco Mobile are also doing it too I believe.
I got my from http://www.mobiles.co.uk
they've good deals, usually better than carphone
Got mine from the link below free phone £25.54 a month with 600 mins and 500 texts and unlimited internet and you get £10 cash back also, this is the best deal I have seen, also looked at mobiles.co.uk but they wanted £99 for the phone on the same sort of deal.
www.buymobilephones.net/mobile-phon...e/T-Mobile-25-(24mths)-inc.-Internet/10035998
I also had a issue with my phone after trying lcd density on it played up after a few days and wouldn't boot up , I sent it back to them and I had a replacement phone sent out the next day, great service, but if you after sim free not sure.
double post sorry, couldn't find how to delete

I got from there also but chose the 18 month contract instead of 24 as I did not need that many minutes and it works out a lot cheaper in the end, even though I had to pay £29.99 up front.
Would have been cheaper still but I was in such a rush to order I forgot to check if they were on Quidco, which of course they are.
Thanks guys for the links, have to admit some great deals!
buymobilephones.net seems to have the best deal however mobiles.co.uk are slightly more expensive because the phone is apparently unlocked.
An unlock isn't an issue for me yet but what about after the contract? Would I be able to request from say tmobile an unlock? I heard they must give this to you by law once your contract expires?
And speaking of unlock, is there a software unlock out for this device yet? Would be very handy to get it on contract and then unlock it via software or something
My phone from buymobilephones.net was unlocked and the original I sent back was unlocked also and no branding on either, they don't lock phones there am sure others will say the same thing.
Just as a test for you I am on T-Moible and just put a O2 pay as you go sim in and it works fine.
The buymobilephones.net phones are not locked as far as I am aware. There is no T-Mobile stuff on the one I have.
Pete
Yes same with me phone is unlocked (tryed 3 sim), only mod i noticed was the homepage was set to t-mobile in the browser.
I purchased mine from http://www.gummobile.com/phones/LG_Optimus_3D_P920_Sim_Free.aspx
both carphone warehouse and phones 4 u have it here to buy...

Both the more expensive option buymobilephones.net is still the best offer around.
I bought mine from Carphone warehouse yet there's no mention of T-Mobile branding anywhere on the box or on the phone's software. I might see if I can borrow an O2 sim card tonight just to try it out and see if it really is locked or not.

[Q] Sensation O2 UK

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first question.
I live in Eastern Europe but a friend of mine offered to get me a HTC Sensation in UK, that she can get through her subscription to O2 UK.
I would like to know if I get this phone do I have to unlock it to use in other country?
Do the O2 Sensations have custom menus and applications? If so, is it possible to get rid of them?
I'm sorry if these questions have been answered here but I couldn't find them.
If this is not the right place to find these answers, could someone point me to where I can find them?
Thank you.
Caty.
If it's direct through O2 it will have their own ROM, which has O2 splash screens and pre-installed apps. I don't know if it's SIM locked though, although I don't it is
I'd get your friend to get it from Carphone Warehouse as they only supply unbranded handsets so you'd have no issues
So you think these apps and splash screens are not deletable?
She is getting me from O2 because she can get it for 100 pounds with her subscription.
If she has to get from Carphone then I would buy it here because the price will probably be the same, around 450 pounds.
You can get it on upgrade on any network from Carphone Warehouse - I got mine on Vodafone for free (albeit a new contract)
I think you didn't understand.
Because my friend already has a subscription on O2 she can get the phone for 100 pounds.
If she were to buy from Carphone that phone would cost 450 pounds and that is a huge difference for me.
It's the difference between buying it and not even thinking about it.
If she couldn't get it for 100 Pounds I wouldn't even consider an HTC Sensation.
If she is looking at an upgrade (as in at the end of the existing contract) she can get it from any shop, and going to Carphone Warehouse would mean she gets the unbranded handset. She doesn't have to get it from O2 directly.
If she is getting an early upgrade then yes it'd probably have to be direct from O2
I guess it's an early upgrade because she haven't been in UK for long.
She got some special offer in an e-mail from O2.
I've got an o2 Sensation. The only branding I noticed is an o2 wallpaper that is easily changed. Seems to be practically unbranded otherwise.
The only advice I would offer is be careful in case you need to return it, I had to send my first two back for having dust under the screen. The third one seems to be developing it again
Dust under the screen?
That sounds bad.
Having to send it all the way back to UK and risk the package getting "lost" would be terrible
I'm glad that the branding is easy to delete, though.
I still have to think about getting it.
Any other problem that we should check in case I decide to get it?
