This is really worrying me now as the Vodafone deals are horrible.

Many chose MPD only because it worked out about the same/cheaper to get it on T-Mobile over 18 months as it would to buy it SIM free. Getting it later than Nokia online then being told it will be more expensive than agreed upon........

Personally, I can't afford to buy it outright but if I have to choose Voda I am not sure I can afford it at all.

I mean come on, the deal I chose on T-Mobile:
£20/month (200 mins) for 18 months, £86.99 up front.
Vodafone:
£20/month (75 mins) for 18 months, £183.99 up front. (I can't afford this)

I would have to choose:
£20/month (300 mins) for 24 months , £167.99. (not sure I can afford this either)
or
£20/month (75 mins) for 24 months , £93.99.

Both of those are pathetic and nomatter which I choose, its costing me a lot more money for a lot less service.

Indeed I may end up tied into the contract for 6 months longer than planned, getting 125 less minutes each month, paying £127 more over the contract than on the T-Mobile deal.

So I really REALLY hope you are mistaken.

Vodafone, £30/month 18 months + 25 upfront, 300 mins & unlimited text+web

Didn't you see this deal?

That brought it to line with the T-Mobile deal.

That's still £118.01 more than the T-Mobile deal over the contract length, hardly comparable. Besides, no I can't see that the one. The only one I can see is £35/month for those prices/minutes.

I would have to get £25/month for 18 months, 75 mins £93.99 up front.

No unlimited web?
What's the point getting this plan on N900 then?

Ok so add £5/month for unlimited web on T-Mobile, which brings the total to £537 (Vodafone = £565 includes handset cost)

Breakdown:

T-Mobile:
Contract - £450 over 18 months
Handset: £87
Total: £537

Vodafone:
Contract - £540 over 18 months
Handset: £25
Total: £565

So for £28 difference, you get unlimited text + 100 mins more a month.

Voda seems to be a better deal here.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Also if you can wait until January when the handset becomes available for network providers, you can claim £120 cashback with Voda. T-Mobile only doing £70ish at the moment.

Warning to UK customers ordering by CC. My CC company knocked back my pre-order from Nokia yesterday. I phoned them and they said it 'looked suspicious'. Surely It would have been better if they had approved the order then phoned me up to confirm! Now I have to reorder with Nokia Grrrr.

So if you are ordering via CC it might be worth phoning up your CC provider and warning them.
