this to be the cheapest place to buy a real n900 from

£397 including post

Anyone else found anything better???

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

yeah but for £20 more you can get 100mins & 100txts (free inbound to our American brothers) for 18 months.

I am very tempted by the tmobile Combi 15 + Web'n'Walk deal, £470ish and "unlimited" internet 1gig really but you can often get upto 2gigs

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

that is what i ordered.

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

Will that be unlocked and if so will i be able to use my o2 iphone 3g sim card in it?

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

I was going to order the T-Mobile 18 months @ £30 with free N900 for 300 mins, 300 texts and data, but the price went up to £29.99 for the handset on this deal so I thought again.

Eventually went for the extra £5 a month for 700 mins and unlimited texts, free N900 and half price first month's line rental. Seemed the best deal to me. It's the Combi 30 + Web'n'Walk one.

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

I'm looking for the cheapest N900 around in UK, and so far I tought the cheapest was this one: http://www.kingofgadgets.co.uk/nokia...one-p-701.html
(taken from here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32111)
448 £.

What is this "pay as you go" option? I'm not interested in monthly/special plans, since I would use it in Belgium/Italy anyway.
Is that 393 £ total? No additional things you're forced to pay?!? o_O
(I imagine at least some branding?)

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

I think it's 3.99 delivery. Probably not branded or locked, on the Mobile Phones Direct site choose the N900 and select Pay as you go, Vodafone.

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

ok, now I know what "pay as you go" means... incredible, it costs 170 € lesser than buying it from an Italian shop at 599€... o.o
(in Belgium probably more, like 650-699 €...)

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

Combi 15 + Web'n'Walk looks to be best for me.

I guess it depends on how much someone is going to use the phone side. I just want unlimited net... phone is for emergency's, and occasional chats.

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

I sent an e-mail to mobilephonesdirect.co.uk the other day asking them if they will be supplying un-branded,un-locked devices -their reply was:

And apparently I'll be able to order an upgrade from them for my existing Vodafone UK tariff, getting me a new N900 for £73 and letting me keep my existing number. Result!

Oh, first post as well, so hello everybody! Been lurking for a couple of weeks, you all seem a friendly and knowledgeable bunch. Can't wait until I can contribute a picture to the 'where is your Nxxx device today' thread. :-)

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

Amazon is selling sim-free and unlocked for £470. That's where I shall buy from if I decide on this device. Not least for the sheer brand-trust of amazon!

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

£448.49 at http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=2346

On my google shopping search they have the best combination of low price and high seller rating with decent number of reviews... Anyone used 'em before?

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

I am not from UK, but I found this. The price is £435.85. Since I am from Bulgaria - this means when it's out it could cost me £600 (of course I will never spend that much). So I will have two options - buy from Europe and don't have warranty or wait the price to drop in my "priceless" country. :( Either way I will get it.

P.S. I could have some mistakes when writing in english, so excuse me, it is not my native language.

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

On the right-hand side of that page it says "Please note: official price to be confirmed". So I don't think their price of £435.85 means much at this stage.

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

the original poster's pricing of (mobilephonesdirect) less than 400 for PAYG on vodafone seems to have disappeared only to be replaced with £450, the same as the sim-free.

the t-mobile 15/month on an 18 month contract with device costing £141 works out about £411., so it is possible to save money using carrier subsidy if you're careful, but one of the other deals to get the n900 "free" would mean spending £960 over two years!!!

personally, I prefer to buy devices unlocked - sim free - unbranded - so that I know there's been no monkeying around with it to disable features.

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

a while ago I had friends buy stuff of handtec and were v happy with speed of delivery and lack of issues.

I note that the handtec price is 449 + delivery + vat = £524 :eek:

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

Yeah, the Handtec price seems to have gone up; it used to be 448 inc Vat. Still, they do have a price-match offer. Not that I care, having ordered from Nokia using the 3 discount codes mentioned on the UK network thread. 8-)

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

This is the deal I went for...

Description Price Monthly Cost Special Offer Qty Total
Nokia N900 ON Combi 30 £77.99 £29.36 1 £77.99
Delivery: £3.99
Total: £81.98


So 77 quid upfront and 12 months @ £29..

I went for a no web package as I will dump the SIM and use my work one :D

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

i pre-orded the combi-20 + web"n"walk.

Bad news for all of you who were planning on ordering soon, the tmobile offers for the n900 have been taken off Mobilephones Direct, so looks like u guys will have to order with the ore expensive vodaphone ones.

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

Nokia uk

Sub Total: £499.00
Discount: £192.55
Delivery Cost:
Standard (3-5 days) £0.00


Total: £306.45 (This order includes £39.97 VAT)

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

that's a old offer right? if so, why bump it further? x)
where did you find those discounts by the way?

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

A qustion was asked, i answered.
It is the cheapest place that i have seen in the UK so far.
The codes came from Nokia x2 and don't quite recall where the other code came from i just ordered as fast as i could.

Another reason i answered the question is, just because these codes have been stopped for the moment, there's nothing to stop others from keeping an eye out for ones in the future.

Did i do bad?

Re: Cheapest Place to Buy Uk N900
 

well... ordered from nokia with 1 discount code and via quidco for 10% off, on top of that it's through my business account, and with 270 for renewing my contract for 18 months, i am not paying much... i still wish i'd used the 3 discount codes :(
