What contract have you gone for?

Ive got unlimited gprs on vodaphone so im reluctant to change, but my local orange shop has 5 in stock about 5 mins walk away...

Very tempted indeed.

Well the Orange Shop in Worcester has 5 - hasn't sold any.

Just been and had a play with one, and it's very nice but I don't like the Orange logo really and don't want to ditch my unlimited gprs account on voda.

Anyway, what it boils down to is that the cheapest tariff on Orange is £15 a month (£180 for the year) which is £330 as a handset price - thus the phone is £510 before you pay for data. (Alternatively if you pay £25 a month for the first 3 months then change to £15 a month you get the phone at £300 so it's no different).

I'll stick with £500 for an unlocked one, and have asked for an upgrade quote with a 7650, to recoup the subsidy.

Have fun with yer P800s to those who've bought them on Orange today - I will wait until next week I think

(Except I'm going to the pub at 4.30 and if I have too many I shall probably not care and go and buy one anyway)....

The logo is only on the cover plate so you can always get a new one without the orange logo.

Well obviously, but by the time I'd sorted that out the SIM free one would be here now anyway.

The Orange shops in Edinburgh, Scotland have quite a few ... although they have one less now.
