Got the Nexus S myself on the CPW deal at Xmas.

If you can get it for £200 from CPW then don't hesitate because its an awesome phone. ICS runs really well on it.

Maybe ask in store like someone suggested.

I went in store to ask specifically and told it was totally out of stock and there was no way they could order it or anything.

Currently out of stock though

I was looking at the Evo too, as an upgrade for my Monte Carlo. Hopefully next time its back in stock it drops below £200...only thing stopping me definately going for it is size, I prefer lighter/slimmer phones.

I have a horrible feeling that it was a one off. I really was prepared to get it but it was already out of stock too. I wish ASDA would let us know if they are going to get them back. But you can pick one up for £250 unlocked which the ASDA one was not. But after seeing it at the lower price, I find myself with a difficulty to commit.

huawei ascend p1 is coming soon and will be agressively priced I think.

Im pretty sure it was unlocked. And it definately was not a one off as it was dropped to that price only a few weeks before.

I am not jealous or anything

Actually hell yes I am. I know it was like 227 and then dropped to 207. Now its been out of stock for ages what I meant by one off, meaning they arent going to restock it anytime soon.
If I cant find it for that price again. I might wait for the Samsung Galaxy s3 to come out and get a s2.

Vodafone @£150 inclusive of £10 credit is the best I could see.

I got a friend who works in CW as manager and i going to see if the Google nexus S is still around in stock and how much i can get it for sim free/ O2 as it works with gifgaf.

The windows lumia 7 looks a bit too "teenage" for myself with all these social specific selling points ect so i dont think its the phone for me.

The Samsung galaxy S2 looks very good, but with the S3 coming out soon i wondering if it better if i wait till the S3 out then try getting a S2 as the prices might come down ie £200-250???

so atm S2+Nexus my main bet, but if i see a S2 for £260ish sim free second hand i might try and get it as i lost out last time as i wasnt quick enough
