Thanks for the pics Robbo

The N8 is definately better, the text on the top of the cans is much easier to read, the colours on the 9900 look more realistic than the Apples though, could be just my old eyes?

I ordered the 9900 on Friday via Vodafone direct, got the 12month deal @ £51 per month, (1200mins, U/L texts, 750MB data, BIS, 2GB WiFi p/m) so thats £612 + £59 for the handset = £671, then I got £90.90 cashback, so £580.10 over 12 months, and as I was going to pay £515 outright for the sim free option, its only costing me £5.43 a month for all those minutes & data etc..... not bad me thinks!

Anyway, I can't wait to get it now, hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday!

How did you get the 90 quid cashback?

I am also awaiting £90 cash back.

Taking out a new contract through quidco will net you £90 cash back.

CocoPops · 22 Aug 2011 at 16:16

I got mine on:
18month @ £46/month. (Minus 20% discount on monthly bill through HP/Voda discount).
Free 9900
£90 cashback

Total cost of phone+contract = £572.40

Hi,

I ordered through Topcashback and it went through at £90.90 instead of the then advertised £60.60. They did the same for a friend a while back and it all paid out ok

Heres the link, its totally 100% free & they even top up your cash back based on your previous months spend, upto another 10%! (and before anyone moans the link is also my referal, which means anyone who wants to use it, gets me £2.50 when you earn your 1st £5 cashback, then you can do the same for others)

Seems a nicer keyboard than my present 8900

The bold style keyboards have always been much nicer to use than the Curve style I've found.

Sure thing.

You can even get cash back "in store" as well as many online places.
I have to stay away with work and so I can even get cash back on my hotel bookings even though they are expensed.

If you're a big enough fish they give them to you for a free if that's what you mean.

£20 if your contract is over £40 a month.

Yeah I've got quite a bit of muscle on me so hopefully I can intimidate them into a cheaper price

jrwagh333 · 23 Aug 2011 at 12:47

Phone has been off charge and being occasionally used for the past 4 hours and is down to 70% already, aw man

I also can't find WikiTude

Ev0 · 23 Aug 2011 at 13:30

Mine went off charge about 16:00 yesterday and was used last night a reasonable amount, and quite a lot today with calls, texts, emails and mp3s, and is sat on 35%.

Its in appworld from what i have heard...there was a rather large thread over at crackberry about people not finding it....have a look in there if you still cant find it.

jrwagh333 · 23 Aug 2011 at 14:12

Ok I will do.

Also is there a way to delete Facebook notifications once I have seen them? As at the moment I am having to click on them all individually (which opens Facebook) which is a bit of a pain.
