I'm thinking about buying a sim-free Xperia Arc and I'm wondering what good UK based retailers are out there.
Mobilefun have it on preorder for £430; the only drawback is they don't ship sim free phones outside the UK. (I'm in Ireland)
I also looked at Expansys; their UK site has it for £450, their Irish site has it for €590 (£500!) Quite a difference.
Is there anywhere else you'd recommend? |

Thanks for the replies, guys!
I had a look on Play.com, the site says they won't ship phones (among other things) outside the UK. So I emailed them to ask if they'd send to a Northern Ireland address, as I have friends there. I got a canned reply back saying "we really cannot deliver.... mobiles outside of the UK."
WTF!!! Northern Ireland's in the UK last time I checked!!
Anyway things are looking brighter with Clove and Handtec, both should ship to the RoI. Handtec is a bit cheaper so I'll likely go with them.
Thanks again guys!

http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com based in Solihull near Birmingham they are excellent and use sim free handsets often their supplies are from Carphone. I used them once very good.
