@ Anuj
Thanks, helps a lot. Seems to be various network incentives at the moment. Has anyone heard anything similar on T-Mob?

I would say go for o2, as mine came sim free from the CPW, not even a start up tone or pic

since debranding is dead easy, I wouldn't be concerned about where you get it from, its more about getting it on a tariff and benefits that suits you

Well, I had wanted to stick with O2 but like T-Mobiles data. Howevrer I have just found this article which gives me great hope for striking a deal with O2 and getting the best of both worlds.
"Mobile phone network O2 is slashing the cost of internet access for existing customers who threaten to leave as pressure builds on operators to reduce the price of using their 3G services...."
More here:

If this can be sorted I will be very happy indeed as T-Mobiles coverage in Northern Ireland looks a bit ropey too.

O2 are bringing out a service where for £10 a month it will give you 37MB internet access. If i was you i would go for T mobile. I am with O2 at the moment, however will be going with t mobile instead.

Just thought I would give you an update on this one. Got my N95 on Friday last week. Went to CPW and ended up paying £10 for the handset on Flext35 with Web n Walk. Monthly total of £42.50 on an 18 month contract. Also go the 3 year navigation voucher free and a 1gb memory card for 20 quid.
Have to say that initial experiences are very positive and that the Maps function appears to work well. Satellite fix was a couple of mins and download speeds from T-Mobile seem very quick. Have no 3g coverage at home but have a wireless router so no problem there and got set up very easily on to it.
Took some pics and video on Friday evenning and Saturday, the video is excellent and the pics were sharp and crisp. I currently own a k800i and the results were as good for me in the circumstances. Video was great although the mix pics up a little too much wind noise for my liking. Apart from that it was very smooth and picture quality was excellent. I will try and post a few samples if I can.
The handset from T-Mobile has no exterior branding and only the homepage and Web N Walk branding internally. Very minimal indeed.
Altogether the deal suited me and I will have to wait 2 weeks before I can port my number (as far as I know) as I will not be in my last month of contract until then. (Any experience of this would be helpful - am on O2 with CPW)
Didn't really want to take out an 18 month contract but figured as I have Insurance I can break the contract after 6 anyway so no biggies (with the exception of losing my number).
Set up to be able to post to my Flickr account which worked perfectly. Wondered about anything similar for posting to YouTube directly as well. Anyone? Also, on my K800i I can post to my Blogger account. Can I do similar using Lifeblog?
So that's it from me, hope this is helpful to any porspective N95 buyers looking at T-Mobile and O2 contracts. The Web n Walk is fantastic and it is a revelation being able to use the web without fear of huge costs. I can see this is going to be the future. Finally coverage in Northern Irealnd (Belfast and North Down areas anyway) seems to be pretty good. I appear to be in a 3g blackspot at home but apart from that I am very happy.

T-Mobile seems to have a very big Branding issue on there phones
so personally go for a 02 contract as there handsets are unlocked and only have slight 02 things here and there on the phones

as far as i know, if you have insurance through CPW and you want to make use of the contract breaker, you do realise you will also have to return your handset back to CPW. So if u thinkin of selling it and then breakin the contract when u want to do so, i'll recommend u not doing that lol, just thought i add that point. cuz i dont think they explain the contract breaker option clearly CPW.

@Miss Uk - Branding is next to nothing on my N95 from T-Mobile - it is locked though
@Miyagi - Hadn't realised that and at no point was it explained to me that that was the case. Spoke to various CPW representatives on the matter and it is news to me. Thanks for the heads up though.
