Been looking at Three's site for many months and still they don't have any Samsung Mobiles, why don't they do Samsung phones? have 3 got a allergy against them or something
I really thought the Ellegant looking U700 would be
available through them but it isn't why ever not
lol
Sorry to have a Rant guys

Won't o2 match 3's offers, if you've been a contract customer for along time surely there will be room to haggle, alot?

they wouldn't give anyone that 10MB Browse for £2.50p every month laura it would be a waste of time asking them to do that
3 are the bee's knees atm and they know they are!
£15 for 600 texts, 75 Any network anytime mins a free phone and £2.50 each month for 10MB browse is a bargain!!!!

Bump't

Posted by >500
coz voda have exclusive on it
even the wholesalers in HK have voda branded ones
very few have unbranded ones.
im on the look out for an unbranded one.

The majority of the Samsung best sellers dont have UMTS, not much good on 3 eh!!.
Posted by >500
it seems the u700's camera unit has, not auto focus, but Rapid Focus
never heard of it.
and it also has a ICEpower Amplifier by Bang and Olufsen, not sure what it enhances
the speaker, or the headphone sound?

MWEB but the U700 is a 3G handset it's on Voda atm I can't really see why "Three" won t stock these
do three have better ranges of phone instore dya know???
that U700 is Gorgeous im a big Samsung phone fan as everyone knows
btw ive only sawVoda branded ones on eBay there selling at £220

I reckon 3 won't stock it because if they do, voda's exclusive wouldn't be very exclusive anymore. Duh!!

well that the same for the iPhone then if 02 get this first then other networks shouldn't neither?
Voda can't keep everything to themselves lol

I guess that's because Samsung isn't very big with 3G phones. They like to concentrate on 2G phones.

In a statement recently from one of the big-wigs at Samsung, they stated that their 3G sales make up for something like 0.3% of worldwide 3G sales, and they only have one 3G phone at present. But they said now the market is maturing, they intend to start rolling more out in this year.

'Voda can't keep everything to themselves lol'
Um.....hate to say it, but if they pay a manufacturer up front for 'exclusive' marketing rights for a handset, then yes, they can.....
....just like they did with W900(remember that?), and White W850 in UK....
Like everything else, it's all about the money......
BTW, when Z1010 was released, Three were gonna stock it, then 4 weeks later, changed their minds......next 3G
phone they offered??
K800i( 2 years later, lol).......
Oo, I'd think hard about going with Three BTW....did you know they're in the middle of an investigation by HM customs at the moment??
They've just caught Three trying to export BLOCKED(yes, stolen) handsets out to other markets, to RE-SELL(I have the trade paper here with me-hey'll never get a penny off of me again, that's for sure)......
Posted by Daedalus85
I suppose the blocked thing isn't so bad. If a phone is reported stollen to them, and the customer claims on their insurance, then the handset is recovered, what are they going to do? Hell, I'd try and sell them. After all their only barred in THIS country and nowhere else.
As for the first SE phone, they did the K608i first, followed by the K610i about the same time as the K800i.

Guys please Samsung have had a vast amount of 3G handsets 02 had special rights on the Z650i (iMode)
Vodafone do seem to have a Selection of Samsung 3G Handsets present.. tbh I want that U700 though I have contacted Vodafone to see whether they'd match "3" Texter tariff on there site they have a 18mth £18.00 tariff with 3 months discount line rental 75 anytime calls and 250 texts I need more texts though if I haggled Vodafone would they do this 500 texts I have atm but I rec I need 300 to be safe or 400
also are there GPRS charges better or worse then "3"?
you get 15MB free is this correct im a little confused lol
