Unlocked?

Does anyone know if the desire will be sold unlocked? If so, how much would it cost?

Every single HTC Desire sold in the UK is sold unlocked apart from those bought from T-Mobile direct and PAYG ones from mobilephonesdirect.
I would suggest buying a PAYG Desire from www.mobilephonesdirect.com for £348.99 and paying £15 to get it unlocked. Total price for an unlocked desire = £363.99. Bargain.

Tmobile's' total price on the 10 pound a month deal is 400 pounds (use quidco cashback)
That includes two years worth of free internet, free text, and 100 mins a month.
That equates to about 2 quid a month for free net, txt etc!

Price down on Orange UK for WP7 devices

FYI
Orange retail stores are pushing the Optimus 7 for £20 a month on 24 months plans and the Omnia 7 for £25. That's £10 off a month each.
Which is nice.

They have only just dropped the price on that then because when I was on the website this morning it was all the original prices.
It should be said however that on the Dolphin plans it is only inclusive of 500MB internet, with the Panther plans offering 750MB

HTC One X Tariff's - What Did You Get?

I just pre-ordered the One X from Phones 4U and got a fab deal:
Phone Cost: £109.99
£28.50 per month, 600 mins, 3000 texts, 1GB data
Free HTC Media Link HD adapter (bonus!!).
I then phoned up Phones4U and told them I was thinking of cancelling the contract and just buying the phone outright. They then offered me the phone for free so I got £109.99 refunded!
Just thought I would share in case anything was thinking of buying one
Also the Media Link HD adapter is only free whilst on Pre Order.

Amazing!! I've ordered it with the £36 a month deal, free handset might ring them up to see if they can give me anything free

hmmmm...
i've ordered from Amazon (£500 for the phone), and am planning to use a £10 monthly giffgaff contract (unlimited data), which works out at £620 over a year.
the phones4u deal is incredibly tempting, but i'd only want a 12 month contract, which limits me to vodafone, 500mb only, and £150 for the phone, £36 per month.
just not 100% sure i'll like the phone and stick with it when the iphone 5 / sg 3 announcements are out.

It's what I did.
Pre-ordered the white One X, & will use my giffgaff SIM.
... However, I will have to cut it down, as i believe the ONE X uses a micro sim like the iPhone.

Good deal, I didn't see the last bit! Was just about to point out the phone is free with cashback from dialaphone. Good stuff

It still works out cheaper going for the 12 month Dial A Phone deal why:
£109.99 for the phone,
£432.00 for year contract,
£541.99 total cost.
Minus Quidco -£65 (4 more days to go still)
£476.99.
Assuming Quidco pays out 99.9% it does.
You get the HD link thrown in for free. You could potentially sell this if you don't use it otherwise if purchased separately will cost up to £80.
What's more if you don't like it, just cancel the contract obviously you'd have to pay off X remaining months if your few months into it but works to be few quid cheaper than buying from Amazon with the benefit of the free media link.
Long winded but ya know!
This way it works out slightly cheaper buying from Amazon but can also have GG as main sim, think of it spreading your costs instead of one hit.

It seems all new Vodafone 12 month contracts include a free 3 month test drive for data. So for 3 months you can use as much data as you want.
http://www.vodafone.co.uk/personal/mobile-internet/on-your-phone/data-test-drive/?cid=rdr-4870-01
Then you have an option to add additional data which works out £5 per 500mb or decline and stick with the standard 500mb.

That is a bloody good deal!!! I'm definitely interested in that. 12 month contract is perfect, that's such a cheap deal! Gonna have to speak to Orange and see if they can match that as I've been with them for 10 years. Was looking at £36 a month for 750mb but 18 month contract (phone upgradeable after 15) and free phone or so. Hmmmm. Thanks for your help!

Just text 'settings' to 2020 I think & it does it for you.
GiffGaff is awesome, unlimited data is worth the tenner alone.
I use between 250mb - 500mb per working day through music streaming apps, so all these operators offering 1gb unlimited usage is hilarious to me. Lol

Absolutely it works out cheaper but unfortunately I can't afford £40 per month
Fantastic if you can though!

I've preordered my black HTC One X from phones4you yesterday, free phone 37.00 per month with 600mins unlimited txts and 1gb of data.
Out of interest how many of you are planning on insuring your new One X?

just called Phones4u asking about doing an upgrade pre-order for the one X.
They offered me the one X black on tmobile, on the all you can eat plan (I asked for that as I wanted the data plan because I didnt want a limited one for those times I need it). Plus the HD media link for free on the £41 per month contract.
Im looking forward to getting the confirmation emails to know its all sorted

I have the same deal from Dial a Phone... Free phone with Quidco cash back, but only paying 28.50 a month, and a free Medialink HD. Just a heads up if you wanna better your deal?
Definately getting insurance when the phone arrives!

How much did you pay for your One X?

I'm pretty happy with the deal I got. Over here, the lowest sim free price was €610 and the lowest prepay price was €519 from Three.
So... I decided to shop around and managed to get the phone for €269 on a 12 month (€20 per month) contract. So that's a round total of €509 with 12 months worth of phone service.

579 euro in Germany on 4 days before launch date (april 2nd)
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

€519 from Three on prepay.

420 Euro + 30 Euro connection charge
1 year
100 minutes
unlimited SMS
1 GB data @ 14 Mbps

Pre-orderred it for 560 euros.

Got mine for 36000 INR
I know conversions don't work like this, but still:
36000 INR (India) == 704 US$ == 443 British Pounds == 537 Euros
And yeah, that's a sim free phone.

I got my phone from O2 UK I paid £179.99 on a 24 month £10.50 contract so it works out....
£179.99 + £252 (full contract) - £60 cashback (Via Top CashBack) - £50.40 VAT (for paying full contract early) = £321.59 for the phone.
I did the same when i bought my GS2 last year, i got that for less than £300.

Not sure how you did it, but am pretty sure with O2 you pay for the VAT even when cancelling early.

Hi guys, I'm looking to get the HTC one x but I'm trying to find the best deal - I've seen a free phone 600 mins unlimited text and 1GB of data with orange through dialaphone for £28.50 a month (£50 cashback with quidco).

Got the same as you there. But as i preordered got a free HTC medialink hd. Also that deal should come with free bt WiFi at hotspots and swapables that dont come put of ur data, like deezer which is just like spotify, well worth being with orange just for that.

I was lucky enough to get mine free on a £36 a month, 12 month contract. Apparently when I phoned Phones4U they had a sale on the One X. Give them a call, you never know.
That was with Voda, 300mins, unlimited text and 500mb. Which I was a bit unsure about but there's WiFi almost everywhere I go

I've just had a call from Vodafone offering 600mins, unlimited texts and 1GB of data for £25 with free phone 24months. I said yes but now I'm thinking I could have got it a bit cheaper with 500mb (which I didn't ask). I suppose I got a good deal and should be happy - just want more for less!

Insanely expensive, but it is a pretty cool gadget to own.

Bought mine on a £21.50 pm contract with O2 through Tesco and £50 TopCashback. Removed the £6 data bolt on which leaves me paying £15.50pm. Using a Three sim I ordered through Quidco £10pm 300mins Unlimited texts and 1gb data plus £100 cashback if it works. So £25.50 a month altogether plus a possible £150 cashback.
