I've looked at orange and vodafone and they are all charging for phone.

if i invite you as a friend it might give you some benefits.. which phone you after?

 

[Bo$$]

That phone looks awesome! Just checked out a review of it, has a massive capacity battery too which is a nice touch. Im a big android fan although i dont have an android phone myself, right now i see it as the best phone OS around. If windows mobile got better maybe i would like that but ive used it and while its okay i just find android easier (my brother has a samsung with win mobile 7).

so far i havnt been able to finish the battery in a day! android is very good, i have used windows, i dont really like it much... it is all personal though, if you bing rather than google then windows is for you

 

[kurosagi01]

What you looking for? A phone or just a sim? Also depends a lot on what phone you want. I wanted a Samsung Galaxy S II but i cant really afford £30, add that up for 24 months its expensive

Mainly looking for either a newer android or windows 7 phone and like £10 a month with unlimited text,100min calls and internet really but i'm not entirely sure.

if you see one you want, PM me, i will see what i can do mate

 

[MilkyWay]

your asking for a lot for £10 a month but its maybe possible, i suspect you'd have to pay something for the phone on top depending on the phone

i wouldnt mind a contract for £10 if i could get a decent android phone and unlimted texts + internet

 

[scaminatrix]

Tesco Mobile "SIM Only" (no phone) £10.00 per month contract (12 month)

500 minutes
5,000 texts (that's gotta be close enough to unlimited lol)
500 MB Data

Aah, I see, are you all talking about a contract where you get the android free?

You can actually,i found the Orange San Francisco 24 month contract for £10 a month,with unlimited text+internet and 30minute call time lol. I am really considering it and i heard great things about the San Francisco,its an old android though latest firmware is 2.2. And reason i am asking a lot because my friend is only paying £10 for a amazing deal for his blackberry torch.
Heres the spec for the San Francisco: http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_blade-3391.php

Thats a sweet deal scam.

I have a san francisco and it's a great phone. Running it with 2.3.4 android via Cyanomod (tpt from here). The support isn't perfect but it's getting there. Good phone for messing about with android, and I got mine for 70 quid on PayG (orange).

I don't actually use my phone much though but it's nice to have :] The browser is great. Only drawback is no flash support, cpu is too slow for it.

same on mine, youtube works though so its all good

 

[MilkyWay]

I dont understand how that phones spec says AMOLED or LCD. Kuro the blackberry you have looks better than that San Fransisco Orange.

Yeah Scam i saw the Tesco sim card deal when i was actually in there but i thought it was about to run out like it was a deal for a certain time only, looks like a good deal to me its much better value than topping up just £10 a month on its own. Still have to buy a cheap phone to go with it though.

 

[kurosagi01]

Well the phone i want right now,no matter if its same spec as other HTC phones,i want the HTC Thunderbolt lol,i just want it for the name "Thunderbolt" sounds bad ass.
And the blackberry is a damn brick i tell you,its less of a brick without a case but jeez its heavy in the pocket lol. Also paying £15 makes me feel like i am getting rip offed compared to my friend paying £10.
The Tesco deal does sound tempting and Tesco network is owned by same company that owns O2.

Also if you do go on contract make sure you ask them if its including VAT,sounds silly but i used to be on orange sim only contract,contract was £15 a month but i got charged additional £2-3 out of additional VAT,even though i didn't go over any limits.

the thing that makes my spidey senses tingle is the 'Seller refubished' tag

I'm pretty sure the hero doesn't support 2.3 even with custom flash firmware.

get it if you want the hero
dude has 100% record

 

[kurosagi01]

Interesting and in my honest opinion i prefer the graphite grey colour for the Hero.

 

[MilkyWay]

idk since they dont list any pictures of the item its hard to tell.

My mobile was actually from ebay it was BNIB still sealed if i remember correctly the guy just didnt want an upgrade or something.

 

[kurosagi01]

Lol what phone you using now Kieran??

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I could just the the white/silver sealed brand new Hero from play.com for £120 and try to root the firmware myself but this dudes already done it and it costs just a few quid more.

your call bro, what is the warranty on ebay?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

your call bro, what is the warranty on ebay?

"Returns only accepted for faults, which must be within 7 days of receipt, however all phones are checked fully and are working 100% So there won't be any problems."

but what if it goes wrong after the 7day period?

your screwed, unless you can get ebay to do something about it

 

[Tatty_Two]

I don't see what all this Android fuss is about! Call me old fashioned, I use my phone to call and text, if I wanna access anything online I use my IPad 2, I get a free high speed Mobile dongle for work use so I just connect with that if I am out and about and there is no freebie wireless available. Seems a lot of money to me just so as you can access the interwbz with some reasonable (albeit small) visuals and speed.
