Yeah..but having your own unlocked phone is a great way to look down your nose at those impoverished wretches as you swill champagne and gobble smoked salmon.

Damned paupers.

People can do the maths, and there are some good deals to be gotten out there.

For example, the contract I have with my n900 over 18 months works out about £300-£400 cheaper than buying everything separately and going on an equivalent rolling monthly plan. That includes a get-out fee for my existing contract (2-3 months left to run)

The phone I am getting is unlocked and in the same state as Nokia ships them. I don't see a downside.

Hi there,

Just received this information:

We’ve been given a dispatch note from Nokia showing that they have sent the goods and they are due in to us tomorrow.

I still don't trust them.

Vodafone told me that although my PAC code will run out on 12 November if it hasnt been used by then it will still be a valid vodafone number and i will just need to pay for another month, hopefully Virgin have the same sort of thing.
