I know there's a few threads like this around but I'm after the best price I can get an English K750i for in the UK through any website and delivered to the UK.

I ask because I see some from Holland getting the K750 at a much better price than anywhere else and I'm desperate for a new phone after my K700 went to hell.

SIM Free prefrably. I'm in an area that only gets Orange for the most part but don't want an Orange branded handset because their branding sucks. I've thought about getting one on contract with O2 and then cancelling the contract after a year because it worked out to an ok price overall but I've seen some in Europe getting it SIM free for around £240ish. Aiming for that sort of price.

I know they're about £300 in shops in the UK but I'm trying to find out if there's any online retailer that can import to the UK at around the same price some on the continent are getting this phone for.

Can anyone beat £250 - what I just paid for my soon-to-be-delivered K750i..?

I don't think I'm going to have much luck. I don't work full time so I don't want to spend more than £250. I have enough money to afford it now at £300 but I'm already spending more than what I'm making working part time. Until I either get a full time job or the W800 comes out, which will hopefully knock down the K750 price, I'll just have to stick with my old Panasonic.


Also, save me making a new thread; Is it normal for a phone with a cracked LCD that hasn't been used in ages to stop working completely? I ask because I've had a K700 with a cracked screen for a couple of months. At first, it was still coming on fine with a cracked screen, then it wasn't booting up properly and now it refuses to come on at all. Could that be damage to the circuit board caused by leakage from the LCD?

Lucky..... Do you work there or did you haggle? The electrical shop I work in orders their stock from CPW but I have a feeling with staff discount I still won't beat £300. I know the trade prices on the mobiles we get in and they're often close to internet prices. If you do work for CPW, I don't suppose you know how much they sell them off wholesale for retailers? I could at least work out then what I'd be able to get it for where I work. No good asking my manager because well, he's a bit useless when you need something like that.

I used to work for CPW - still have mates there

If I'd got my old staff discount, it would have been £210. I'm not sure what trade price is, but I would reckon around about £210+VAT.

Hope that helps.

Lucky you!

That works out to about £276 with my staff discount then unless I can get my manager to let me have it at trade+VAT like he did with my K700.
