Ive been looking at this phone for a while now but im trying to work out the cheapest way to get it. Im currently with Virgin payg spending about £15 a month, chances are I would only need 150 texts and about 100 mins a month. If I bought the phone sim free from play.com I would pay £450 for the phone and £15 a month for calls. I dont really want to pull out £450 in one go...any ideas. Im trying to avoid Vodaphone/o2 as I work in the basement of a dept store and cant get a signal!

the cheapest way would be to get a contract that offers it free or for not much it is a very expensive phone.

dude never get it from any auction site if they sell you cheap then there may be chance of faulty or fake item there. not all sellers are genuine
may be the hidden costs
so check twice before buying for them

Short of stealing one (if im in prison I probably wouldnt need such a hi-tech phone!) and buying one from play.com (who I thought were NOT an auction site..I would not buy someting this expensive from e-bay and the like) I think the 3 offer is probable the best. It just narks me paying £15 extra a month for video minutes I will never use. If another network gave more minutes and texts rather than video minutes i'd be happier!

Do you really want one when the N96 will be here in a few months?

Hmm...interesting. June you say. Perhaps the N95 8gb might drop in price if I can wait...but the N96 looks so good. Dilemas, dilemas.

Once the N96 is out there will be no reason to buy an N95 will there.

But given there's virtually no difference, there's also no reason to wait.

Huge difference in memory capability and image geo-tagging come to mind. I am sure there are many more enhancements.

The N96 has 16gb built in and a memory card slot...plus a dvb-h tv tuner, not used in the uk but you never know! Those advantages dont quite justify a bigger price tag than the exsisting N95 8gb, so I would be happy with the current model. The best deal for me looks to be the one from 3...does anyone have any protional codes for them which would reduce the costs a little more? (there is a box to enter a code on the website)

I don't know any codes, but you can use Quidco for some cashback.
