Mobile Phone Upgrade Help

I'm a bit of a 'tard when it comes to phones, so any advice on this would be much appreciated.

I've been with T-Mobile for over 4 years, and been out of contract for about 2. So I've had a thought that I should actually do something about this now. Y'know, get a better phone than the crappy one I have at the moment. (Well, it was fairly good at the time)

Just been looking at my account online and I've been offered the following;

Free Samsung Z400

Free MOTOSLVR

Hmmm.

Any recommendations?

But fair, to an extent. :whistle:

Just looked in to this in more detail - here are some other 'free upgrades' I'm entitled to;

Nokia 3109, 5300, 7373

Samsung E900

Sony Ericsson K550i, W810i

Any better? :dunno:

Wait till Nov 9th, Switch to 02 and then get yourself an iphone and never look back. Simple.

Sony Ericsson W810i

Could have given you one of those months ago.

It was good though, the Walkman is good.

i'm on tesco mobile, i was offered the 'tesco value' tariff i was tempted, but said no.

Most unlike you to spurn the value stuff.

Isn't it about time that made a comeback? ;):ph34r:

The W810i appeals to me more than any of the other phones you've mentioned so far... :yesyes:

I'm a bit of a phoneaholic, the ones you have been offered are all a bit old and are not the best, ask for a sony ericsson W880i (you should be able to get it free) but i'd recommend getting your pac code from t-mobile and getting a new phone from carphonewarehouse, or E2Save.com (they come unlocked to any network and without shit network software).

Best bet is to get a phone on O2 from e2save because they are usually cheap contracts and you can get cashbacks.

If you don't like the sony phones take a look on gsmarena.com for reviews of all phones available.

Remember that the buyer is king and the networks will try to rip you off, if you don't need to keep your number forget about the pac code.

Go to the Carphone Warehouse website, see how much each of the handsets you were offered are worth each. Get the one that is worth the most and sell it through Ebay or Gumtree. Use the money to get the phone of your choice or spend it on booze and cheap women. :thumbup:

Best thing to do is ring up and make out like orange have made you a better contract offer with a free phone upgrade to any phone. They normally then free up more handsets to you.

If not, ask to be put through to disconnections, make out like you wish to move company. These are the folk with most power when it comes to upgrades. Once in a while they call your bluff and start the disconnection process.... just hang up lol

I want the W960i ~ it's lush.

I like that - but I've not long had the 630i

That's ok and free in most moby stores.

Sony Ericsson look more manly - some of the Nokia ones are too girly for my liking.

I must say I'm impressed with the resilience of my W850i. The number of times I have dropped it over the last year is incredible ~ it still works although it sometimes powers down when I close it too quickly.

Having a stock of pro-duo cards I'm loathed to have anything other than a SE phone nowadays.

Problem is that the new sony ericsson phones won't take a pro duo card, sony decided to change to the new M2 format so we all have to buy new memory cards, bast@rds!

How do you think I feel? I'll have to buy myself a new memory card when I upgrade rather than inheriting SF's old ones because he's gone and got himself a bigger gigabytage.
