Hey all.

So I got an Nokia N900 from the Nokia store in London on Vodafone, but am not entirely happy with it for a number of reasons...

So my question is: If I sell my N900 in Cex or something, how do I go about getting a 16gb 3GS from Vodafone? How much will it be?

I cannot upgrade for another 24 months and not sure I want to stick with the N900 for that long...

Any advice appreciated!

Why don't you like the n900, my friendjust got one on upgrade and I was really jealous!!

I've just brought an updated iPhone from the one I had, which is 16gb and I paid 450 brand new. If I hadn't of sold my old iPhone and a few other old phones I wouldn't have been spending that much!

You should get a fair bit for your current handset...

Well the reason I got the N900 was for the divx/xvid playback (which is jerky and not good).

Now it has started quitting the media player in the middle of a video and I have to reboot it to get the video back. I watch a lot of video on the device, and now I am converting them all to H264 for smooth playback I might as well have an iphone instead which is a smoother user experience.

The web browsing on it is phenomenal yes, but I watch a lot of tv shows and I need this to work well.

So £450 from Voda?

Vodafone dont sell it on PAYG at the moment your best option is to buy a used officially unlocked one or a brand new 02 iphone then top it up with £15 and get o2 to unlock it.

Phones4u are doing it payg on vodafone i believe...

Yeah I heard the web browser is pretty amazing... Are you sure the handset is not faulty?

Yeah the browsing is fab, but the promised video support is lacking even with the additional codecs installed.

I doubt phones4u will sell them on vodafone as even voda dont sell them on payg.

Regardless of the spec, i really don't like the aesthetics of it, especially the slide out key pad. A phone should either have a touch screen or a key pad, not both.

Yeah the slide out keyboard is super nice to use...

im never buying nokia again after the n97 - now got the iphone 3gs, only thing i miss is bbc iplayer downloads.. which i think is coming soon to iphone (should be anyway, eitehr way, i find its more compatible iwth my mpg4 videos on my mac )

You can buy the iPhones handset-only from Vodafone shops, £460 for the 16GB 3GS. (£370 for the 8GB 3G and £550 for the 32GB 3GS).

Good luck trying to get a "Box Only" from a voda store

I was in a store today with a friend and witnessed an SA selling one box-only, and I know of several other people who have purchased them box-only from various Vodafone stores.

They will be contract phones or replacements for damaged ones see the eforum link above.Voda don't even have a payg sim for the iPhone.
