How's this for a plan? (My head hurts from comparing everything)

I want a Qtek s200/iMate JAMin but i want it on the Flext tarrif. Problem is this can't be done. Now thanks to another forum member i've been messing around with plans and come up with this:

Buy the qtek s200 sim free (cheaper than the JAMin, but as far as i'm aware there is no difference?) ~ £380.00
Get an MDA Pro with Tmobile on their Flext25 + web'n'walk ~ £150
Contact will cost £20.63 per month, over the 18 month period ~ 370.00
Hopefully i'll sell this on ebay for at least ~ £250

This means i'll be left with the phone i want, on a contract that i want for an overall cost of 650 over the whole 18 months.

If i'd bought the MDA pro on the flext25 + web'n'walk this would have cost me a total of 520.

Am i mad? Iis there a cheaper way around this!? :p

Of course the phone MDA pro could sell for upto £350 on ebay (as it has) i'm just being coservative, because i doubt it will.

Hope that all makes sense :)
 
Are there any other tariffs with something comparable to web'n'walk, because that is what is really pulling me, as i'll be hammering it on the move.

Should get £350 for the pro easy.

Do you think, i've seen some go horribly low, more like £200!

Also i'd have the option of getting an N70 on the flext tariff, but i can only see that selling for about £150 i think which would be even worse.

Well ok, not hammering on the move, but using it a fair fair bit. I've looked at the HTC hermes platform, looks great, but i dont want the extra thickness for the keyboard. If this phone was 3g it would be perfect, but hey i can't have everything :p. Although it has everything else i'm after, i just want to be able to fit it in a trouser pocket comfortably/
 
Right, i've decided, i'm going to get an MDA pro with tmobile on their Flext 20 + web'n'walk. I'll try the phone out, it'll probably be too big, at which point i'll sell it on ebay, recoup some loss hopefully, and buy the phone i actually want :). Probably cost me a little more than it would do if i could get a phone i wanted with tmobile to being with especially if the MDA pro doesnt sell well on ebay. Chance i take i guess :).

You should get at least £250 on ebay! might be better to sell it un opened as it were before you get your grubby mits on it :p

Oh, i don't expect to hit a top offer on ebay becuase its locked to tmobile, hopefully i can do something about that though.

The MDA Pros I have been watching for the last week or so seem to be going for about £200. The cheapest being £181 (Oh how I wish I bidded for it now in hindsight lol) and the most expensive was about £330 but that was the version that came with co-pilot sat nav.

Seriously? Looks like i'm ****** then.
 
*phew* Thinking about it i didn't check the million other names this phone comes under, but i'll list it as them obviosuly :D. I'm still looking into getting it unlocked and sim free, because it will certainly fetch more then :)
