I was lucky enough to get the T-mobile Combi 15 + Web-n-Walk which was just about the cheapest deal available, however I don't think those T-mobile tariffs are available at the moment from mobilephones direct, and I now have a friend saying he wants to get an unlocked n900 by the cheapest means possible.
it appears that the T-mobile contracts are back at MPD, and even cheaper £20/month x 18 months + £82 up front, but are they still unlocked and unbranded from T-mobile, anyone know?
Wud never pay for a handset on a contract, it should always be free! Well if ur going for a 18month 35+ then yea. If they want money for the handset jst go elsewhere dnt waste ur time with em!
A gud way to look at it is to tally up the contract total an the handset price they are asking then u can see that u cud might as well buy it sim free an jst get a pay as u go sim with a monthly bolt on :-P
i would always consider paying an up-front cost for a contract phone, if the total cost including the line rental over the over contract period is equal to, or less than, any other option.
back to the topic at hand; are T-mobile contract n900's still unlocked and unbranded?
i originally got mine from Nokia simfree £450 but then sent it back and got it on new contract on vodafone, 1200mins (not that i need that much) unlimted text, unlimted landline(aint made a single call to one) and Internet on 18 contract for £45 per month phone was free
I tthen got my mate who works in voda to give me discount 30% off which is 31.50 per month.
So i'm pretty happy with the deal. even without discount if you make alot of calls its not bad
