cheers all,
seems like the T-mobile £20/18 month contracts are still the cheapest, as when you add the £82 is still comes to less than £450.
if you work out usage at the cheapest rate imaginable of £10/month that gives a handset cost £260.
i shall let him know, thanks.

as long as people are happy thats the main thing really
i think the cheapest ive actually seen is nokias/quidcos cashback deal which meant after the rebate it would have cost 350 pounds but at the minute that offer isnt going anymore so doesnt really count

yeah i know what u mean but im already locked in to 12 more months of a contract. i actually sold my n97 for 260 to put towards it so i actually only forked out 130 quid. got rid of a phone i didnt like and i get a nice new toy in 12 months so it was a good deal from my point of view.

i sold my n97 with loads of sat nav apps plus others with cerificate (to install apps) for £280.
so n900 works out £378 for 12 month including contract mins or £567 for 18 months minus £280 and £90 cash back lol

I recently got my N900 on a T Mobile 18 month contract. £25 per month inc 300 min, 300 txt and web. Paid £28 for device and got free Nokia slip case worth £17. I don't need many minutes so this suits me fine.

Managed to get the £350 deal a while ago (have to wait for £100) of that, then
- Sold old N95 8Gb for ~£125
- got free X6 from Nokia :-)
- sold N96 for ~£120
so for ~110 I got a new N900, my son got a new X6 and I we're both on £10/m service plans (mine is now on rolling 1 month contract, 1Gb+mins/texts, his is 3's basic 120Mb data package).
All very happy.
I had been looking at voda deals. If you igore the phone resale and my luck in getting a free phone, even at £350 you have to add my 18-24m of service it's not hugely cheaper than a contract of appropriate length even with voda -- and that T-mobile one looks even cheaper.
I would check data options though -- it seems Tmobile block some things on the basic data package (ie MSN), albeit not a huge deal & both have quite a few T&Cs. 3 have very very few restrictions.

over what rental period? need to beat £442 from T-mobile.
was your unlocked handset a T-mobile, and how did you ascertain that it was unlocked?
cheers

Unfortunately, the only contact mechanism they have to resolve this is a postal address. No phone numbers, no email contact points...
