The phones from OSPS are apparently black, which might indicate they're the standard non-Vodafone ones..?

Here's some hot off the press info from the cpw and how to get the k750i really cheap!

Ok the phone will be in stores tomorrow or friday:

K750i = Free on £30 tariffs and up

So

1st 6 months £30 x 6 = £180

Last 6 months £15 x 6 =£90

Total = £270

You get a cheque back after 4 months for £90

Which means the phone costs £180 over the year!

Not bad in my view!

It is even better than that because you are completely ignoring the free minutes and texts you get within that year. With O2 on a £30 tariff that would be 400 minutes to any landline or network and 100 texts for the first 6 months than half that for the second 6 months. That is as good as getting the phone for nothing.

People in the US can't believe how good we have it over here when it comes to contracts - in the end after taking the contract benefits into account we get the phones for virtually nothing - things are different over there apparently.

i phoned up these guys about this deal today, and before i agreed anything i asked him about the 8 months free and whether the phone was branded at all...

branding: "all our phones are sim-free" "yes you can put any network sim in it"

8 months free: "no you dont have to do anything to get your 8 months free, we will send you a cheque on months 4, 8, and 12"

so i was sold on it! even if it turns out i have to send my bills in, im sure ill manage

plus if it does turn out to be voda-branded after all, ill just return it using my 14-day guaruntee.

that should help everyone make up their mind

Just make sure u read the term and conditions b4 u switch on your phone. Otherwise they might not let u return the phone even if the phone is branded. I am still waiting for my though. Vodafone phone still doing a credit check on me even though I have 4 O2 accounts at the moment. Vodafone phone r just so slow!

If they do come unlocked, couldn't you just put another network's SIM in it to see if it's branded or not?

tomg, of course u could do it that way to check whether the phone is unbrabded or not. The problem is some of the supplier won't let u return the phone once u have made any calls or using the phone so make sure u fully understand their return policy b4 u use the phone.

Okay, thanks... so can I just check this....

I can order this phone, with the £110 Vodafone deal, take it out the box, turn it on, shove another SIM in it, check to see if it's been branded and crippled... and if it has, send it back within 14 days?

According to One Stop Phone Shop's terms and conditions, "If you use the equipment you will be deemed to have accepted the contract unless the equipment is subject to a trial period."

How do they define "using the equipment"? I take it they won't be able to tell if I've merely turned the phone on?

Thanks!
