Consider another option - take the best deal you can possibly get right now with other phone (ie. N97/N97Mini), stick it on eBay straight away, and buy SIM-free N900 instead.

I'm going to try them though. I'll try and ask tonight as well if I get the chance.

:)

Yes i phoned the NFS and they would only offer me a 24month contract. Phone MPD and they said that some offers were not available in store (in this case the 18month deal)

That's interesting, because when I signed yesterday at the NFS it was the 18 month deal. I may have to check that

Me too. After my daughter and I were treated really badly by Orange, we started moving the whole family to T-Mobile (as our PAYG credit ran out). Now our move is being redered pointless by the merger.

When my N900 arrives I'm going to try a Virgin PAYG SIM card. Virgin uses T-mobile's network, so I'm assuming performance will be identical to using a T-mobile SIM card. Virgin's PAYG charges are lower (30p per day for 25MB, or £5 per month for 1GB) although unlike T-mobile they do have a charge for usage above those levels.

Regards,
Roger

Yeah... I'd much prefer a Sim only one anyway, for when the sucessor comes along. I've just looked, ebay prices online are around 400. Best contract is around 600. :(

I'm going to try have a look into it though, cheers.

To be honest, I am quite surprised that T-Mobile was in trouble, as I can see them gradually improving over time (services, tariffs, website etc.). But well, business is business I guess. I just regret that wasn't Vodafone instead of Orange. Anyway, who knows - maybe it would actually get better after the merger? Will see.

Ugh, I read about this earlier, but didn't know which operator :(

Makes you wonder what other information was sold on :eek:

Re: N900 UK Networks
 
i read earlier too and it did not say which operator, but all other networks denied it was anything to do with them therefore forcing T-mobile to come out and admit it was them

At last!!!

For those who ordered through MPD I'd suggest you strongly consider this option lol
