The N900 is given to you as a gift at the start of the contract, it is not included in the T&Cs at all. They have no argument to use to ask for it back.
So yes, you should be able to keep it.

wow! that means that vodafone will be making heavy losses then if they are losing customers that were £30/month contracts for 24months and also the phone that retailed for £400+
this is brilliant in my opinion cause I never got any good customer service from them :P so serves them right hahaha!!

It is disheartening how VF are acting. See this also http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/71...ost__p__467458
Have a look at your options here http://www.nokiadirect.co.uk/Pay-Mon...521/p26078.htm
Getting straight from Nokia Direct for £25 you could have that Vodafone offering, or alternatively you can get double the talktime minutes at 600, you get 500 texts and you get unlimited internet with a 1Gb fair use policy with T-Mobile.
My only concern is that maybe they, like O2 and VF will decide to suddenly impose strict usage limits while I'm stuck in a contract, I guess at the least I will still have the extra minutes and perhaps they won't treat me as badly as it seems vodafone treat their customers.
Cheers dude.

I still have not received a text, and BitterWallet claim that I do not need a text to cancel. So I think I will be rewriting my letter and cancelling.

I texted "STOP" in reply to the first lot of texts (in July) because they were winding me up, not least because they were being sent at 1:30am!! However, they just sent me this one:
I wonder why they've started texting me this - I think the first texts that I originally "stopped" didn't mention anything about charging.
I fully intend to cancel the contract if they charge me using the clause that others have mentioned.
That said, has anyone succesfully done this yet? I guess we have to wait until we're charged?
From Vodafone: To let you know you're nearly at the end of your monthly data allowance of 500MB. If you need to use additional data there will be a charge of £5 inc VAT per 500MB, however we won't start charging until 1 October 2010. To stop these alerts, text STOP to 40506 Sent AUG 30 @ 01:25 UK

I've just received a message off Vodafone telling me i'm
"...nearly at the end of my monthly data allowance of 500mb."
It seems to contradict it's self.
"If you need to use additional data there will be a charge of £5 incVAT per 500mb, however we won't start charging until 1 October 2010."
So if i go over my limit this month or next month, will i be charged?
Or would i only be charged if i go over my 500mb limit in October?
Either way, thats a big change to the T&C's so i think a cancelation might be in order.

The main question for me is that if people are able to successfully cancel their contract, do they still keep their n900 or do they need to return it?
