Hey all, you've all probably heard this before but im new to Esato and need help. I desperately want to buy a SE P800, and therefore want to know the best reliable, safe place to aquire one. I know its a lot cheaper on the Internet, such as OneStopPhoneShop, but they sell the phone locked. Also, whats their policy on stolen/lost phones? Do they really replace the phone after 24hours, and is the replacement brand new?!?!
Are there any sites where i can buy the phone at a cheaper price from the high street and tariff for around £30 a month?

any help appreciated!

Try mobileshop.com i've falt with them alot, good service and usually next day delivery. They do orange phones very cheap on contract. Worth a look if nothing else.

I used www.mobileshop.com to order my P800 and had no problems with them.

thanks guys for the info! was just checking e2save and their policy on insurance is quite shady! £25 charge on any claims! mobileshop.com appear to have a better service, but i think for any claims you have to stay with them for the remainding of the 12 month contract. does anyone know for sure?!

@shaunC

I ordered a p800 from e2save as well. but on a o2 contract, i get that £100 cashback, too. However, I had to pre order my phone and they told me that they would call me back as soon as they have the p800 in stock, to take my details. Did they tell you a release date for vodafone and did you have to pre order, as well?

Cheers

Carphone Warehouse was excellent, apart from sending my phone to edinburgh I got it for £200 on £30 contract, and i really love the phone, it is also covered automatically by the CPW-- no crappy Orange Cover for me!!!

Another two that probably deserve a mention are

www.avrmobiles.co.uk

&

www.cyren-communications.co.uk

AVR certainly worked for me. I wasn't strong willed enough
to wait for the phone to come out on Voda.

@ malcs

hey mate, which network and tariff did you get to get the phone at the price?! was it an upgrade cause its not a bad deal. also, is the phone locked? kewl, that you dont have the orange logo on it.
