The three store has quite a nice looking contract for the K800I on its online store.
anyone with any experience of three reference branding of handsets or general service.
Just a thought if o2 dont come through with the K800I today as promised!

its not in stock with 3 even though they now have it up on their website

**edit** in stock now online(low stock levels) for new connections, not upgrades, and stores have no idea when they will be getting it

good luck fatreg on unlocking that phone - you'll need it because it's on '3'! - tbh with '3' your better off going with a contract even if you are a low level user, because you'll get your free phone, rather than paying up front for a pay-as-you-go phone, and also if it costs £15pm - thats the min. topup, and you have to topup every 30days! so its alot better to be on contract tbh! - also fatreg....if you really are just gonna unlock the phone and then not use the contract sim - send it to me hehe

@fatreg, Did you go for the deal, via the link at the top of the page? If so thats one expencive way to get the phone.

£15 x 6months(the half price line rental) = 90

£30 x 12 (to finish the 18month contract) = 360

=1 k800 for £450...

Posted by fatreg
i did yes..

but i wont be seeing the 18 months to the end...

just got my K800i on three today.....it IS branded but I bet it's not as bad as it would be on vodafone, orange etc....

Hi. i got my k800i on '3' at the weekend. seems a really nice phone and the camera is fantastic.

it didn't come with a memory card - i presume it wasn't meant to?

i was surprised to find that even without a memory card i could still use it to transfer files to my mac! : )

one issue i'm unsure about though is the '3' branding - it doesn't seem too bad on the phone and menus etc, but using the web browser seems pretty difficult - it seems i can only go to websites that are recommended by '3' or something

what's all that about?

for example, if i 'enter address' www.google.com it either does nothing, or goes to a '3' screen telling me they recommend certain websites etc

can't i go wherever I want!?

i've never been on '3' before

help!

welcome to "3"s walled garden...

i am so sending this phone back soon.

it annoys me!

is there no way around it??

Posted by jaksoul

I posted on this in Fatreg's review topic too (http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=124762).

The whole idea that they force you to use a list of sites which they don't even appear to check is ridiculous. I used to use my old D750i to check my GMail a lot - by going to http://m.gmail.com to check my mail. With Three the only option I'm given is to go to http://www.gmailwireless.com. A site which, from the longs of things, used to provide a gateway to GMail - but doesn't anymore.

It's by far not the only link on their list which is broken.

Anything that can be done about this? Am I entitled to send my phone back and cancel my contract?

Ta,

Phil.

Mine is going back to 3 tomorrow, got a suprisingly good deal from o2's retention team when I called for my PAC.

Tariff was really good on 3 but the branding does my head in.....
