Hi,
I'm currently in a Dilemma. I have been told by T-Mobile I can't upgrade early to the desire. However, To buyout my contract at this stage will only cost £120. Something which I think (*hope*) I'd be able to get for the G1 on Ebay.
I'm looking at mobiles.co.uk and love this package:
HTC Desire : Free
600 minutes Any Network Anytime
Unlimited Texts
Vodafone Passport
For £25 a month which I'd then have to pay £5 a month onto for the internet package making it £30, £5 cheaper than my G1.
My question is, does anyone know the release date of the Desire on Vodafone? If I was to preorder with this package, would I get the phone on April 1st like I would on T-Mobile?
Thanks
I saw on www.devicewire.com that the desire will be released by vodafone on the 12th as they had the same offer.
My "T-Mobile" phone from Carphone Warehouse actually came unlocked! I suspected as much when there was no T-Mobile labeling at all and the opening animation just said HTC. So, while I'm waiting for my number to transfer from o2 I decided to try and use my o2 SIM card. It works! and the network settings all changed automatically.
so... if you want one unlocked but don't mind starting up a contract and just want it moveable depending on what country you may be in at a given moment... buy from Carphone warehouse! (At least from their website)

How much are they charging in store?
Carphone Warehouse phones are always unlocked. One of their trademarks if you will (that they sell unlocked sim-free phones)
Unfortunately they are quite a lot more expensive than going direct to t-mobile, I was looking at £20pm + £129 for 600 minutes, CPW seem to be £20 for 300 minutes + £189 also internet uses your booster, from tmobile you get internet then use your booster for free landline calls etc. looks better to go to tmobile then pay them £15 to unlock?
It's so they can buy in bulk and offer the same phone with numerous providers.
plus £129 for the handset?!
Are you upgrading?
T-Mobile gave me 600 minutes, unlimited text, web n walk max and a free handset for £15 a month on an 18 month contract. Works out cheaper than buying the phone and plus I'm getting a monthly bill.
You guys need to argue for better deals! haha
Do you guys prefer to buy the phones outright or upgrade with a 2-year contract?
I would get a new contract, the phone without a contract is 600$, if you upgrade at best buy or radioshack you get the phone for 200. If you cancel the contract early its 200$ so either way you save 200$
Hi guys
With the handtec fiasco, I have cancelled and am getting it from o2.
A quick question, is the o2 version unlocked?
Cheers guys
O2 is locked, but you can get an unlock code from them for free on contract, or a small fee if not. People have reported using ebay unlocking for £5 too.
if you bought it PAYG, then it will likely be SIM locked - mine is, and many others who have bought an O2 PAYG handset are SIM locked.
Usually O2 contract phones are SIM unlocked, at least that has been my experience in the past.
thanks guys, i'll get the unlock off ebay
Just so you are warned - O2 won't unlock your phone it you buy if on pay as you go for 12 months after purchase(even though they still charge you 15 pounds for the service). It is a complete mystery for me. You pay a full price for the phone and you still have to wait 12 months? This is just stupid.
If you buy it on contract though, they will unlock it for free at any time.

thanks bud, I'll just take the ebay route
Hello Everyone,
I'm interested in buying the razer phone, I live in london but the only store I saw that has this phone is Three, the problem is that I don't want a contract with this company and I want it unlocked as well. Anyone knows how can I buy it? Maybe other stores? and what about the price? Why they said it will cost 700$ and in their site when I want to order it the price is 700£. You know that's not the same price there's a difference between 700 dollars and 700 pounds. So my question is where can I buy it unlocked without any contract in uk for a normal price?
Thanks

All threes phones are unlocked out the box even the payg you just have to put up with their ****ty 3 brand that appears for less than a second

Three stores are only selling the phone on their network. I would guess if you don't want a Three Contract you'll need to buy it from Razer UK store
