I tend to find most phones aquire a fault sooner or later, especially when on a contract:rolleyes:, most will just repalce it on condition you return your old phone.

They arnt loosing out really that way.

But if you have a conscience;):D looks like your waiting.
 
Mmmm, add this to the mix

Phone will cost £450 ish sim free when its available. Maybe less on eBay when they start selling them on if they don't like it

Take out a 25 quid contract now ( saving £180 over the 18 months) the best phone I can get is either a f490 for £100 or any number of S-E's for free. Idea being sell teh phone straight away for ~100 quid profit, I'm now £280 up. Add teh £90 I get in Quidco for going through them maskes it £370, Continue using what I have now( which I'm happy with for teh moment) and then buy the DTP when its out. £100 or so tops to find!


That way I get the contract/signal/keep my number now. Make use of data etc in the meantime, get the phone I want when I'm 6-7 months into the contract so I'm only 12 months away from my next trade up. with the way phones are going I reckon in 18 months there will be something new and shiny out that will want so I'll be closer to getting it.

Gee, all that came to me whilst changing the duvet. :D

I would get the phone you wanted now and wait a while until you know how the phone coming outin Nov really works. It might be rubbish!!!!
 
heh, decide to get the contract now(via quidco for £90 cashback) , sell teh phone I get straight away, put that cash ~£170 with the above, I also get £30 cashback from vodaphone. plus I'm saving £10/month on the contract I would have had to had to get the phone free(£180 over the 18 months) and I'll have enough to buy the new one when its out sim free :D

I have a decent phone for now, its the fact I want to move to voda thats making me stall. If I go 'now' on a contract I can't take the free phone when its out. If I go on a cheap voda contract for now I can't then keep my number when I start the new phone contract ( you can't start a new contract and keep the number from the same network)

Can you not just put the sim card in the new phone? When we upgrade phones, I get the new ones and the staff get the hand me downs, I just put the sim in the new phone.

The whole point is that the phone that I'm getting with the contract isn't the one i REALLY want as its not out till September etc.

I'm going to put the new sim in my current phone( which is my 2 year old Nokia N80 which is still one of my favourites of all time ), the money I get from the 'new phone' plus the savings etc will all finance the new one when it finally comes out.
