Well I made two phone calls today asking as many questions I could possibly think of to try and squeeze out as much information and a stonking upgrade offer out of them. Here is a summary of my phone calls:

You're not happy by any chance are you?

No I'm not actually because I have to wait till February 1st

Also I dont have a dispatch email for my Galaxy Nexus yet .......

OMIGOSH ... No wai ......

T Mobile have a 12 month £35 pm contract ... 300 mins, 300 texts, but no web booster option, but seriously if they give me a free Lumia 800, and that at 50% off .......

I'LL BE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY! But I doubt that would be possible.

When I call them in February, I will simply tell them that I was told I could have a free Lumia 800, and change to any £35 pm contract while keeping my discount ... GIMMEH 12 MONTHS!

just came off the phone with Tmobile....they dont have blue lumia....
Ive asked what deal I could get and I think I will stick to it and leave nexus behind

600mins, 500txt, unlimited internet, and 60 mins to european countries for £29 - 18months so an in all its around £520

Sinny · 21 Nov 2011 at 20:10

I don't get why Orange can't offer me a decent deal, yes the phones just come out but around £650 over 24 months a lot considering I've been with them since I was 12.

They offered my an Galaxy S2, 400 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited data, 30 pic messages for £26 but I don't want to pay that much, cheaper than the Lumia though!

pic messages ??? who is using them those days ?...

The Lumia isnt available on 12 months on new orders, so I really wont be allowed to do that

.

It'll definitely have to be an 18 month tariff, hopefully I can keep my Flext so I can use it for 08 calls, but if not then the 900 mins, 500 texts, unlimited internet booster at £17.50 would be perfect.

50% discount cant be applied to anything under £35 pm ofc, and its only the old staff discount / advantage plan thats for the life of the contract (F+F needs to be renewed every contract term I think), so I cant lose this contract!

Got my Lumia yesterday. Loving it so far.

iPhone 4S on O2, and Lumia on Giffgaff.

Gimme a shout if anyone wants some comparison pics and I'll try take better ones

I'll take that iPhone wallpaper if you've got it handy!

Because they won't get them in to sell until 2012. Nokia are selling first via their preferred partners.

sparkymark75 · 21 Nov 2011 at 20:39

Thanks to those that tested the Bluetooth. Considering getting a Cyan one when my contract is up for early renewal with Vodafone in mid-December. I presume when you renew, you can't drop down a tarriff? I'm on a £36pm iPhone 4 contract, got shot of my IP4 back in April.

The worst part is by feb they will have probably announced the Lumia 900...to be released in April

My upgrade is due at the end of feb although i can upgrade early if i want to stick with o2. Not sure though as their handset range is pretty poor at the moment.

bhavv · 21 Nov 2011 at 21:28

Apparantly I read that you can get upgrades 3 months early on 18 month T Mobile contracts, but offers wont be as good as if you wait it out.

No chance in hell of getting it for free on £17.50 pm if I try and do that tbh, but I'll give it a try.

still no confirmation from anywhere when we can expect other colours to be available ...

One week Monday?
I wonder if places like CPW or even tmobile would get them at same time...
I've made my mind and want lumia

unless I would get same deal with nexus and I would just clog it and get lumia sin free

Wish they would hurry up and release the software update to allow internet sharing/tethering.

Yeah this is what worries me

My contract can be renewed beginning of Jan.

Does it require a tethering package to be added to your line rental on WP7 like iPhones?
