below24, why would you want 6?!?
The reason they don't like to sell 'em simfree when they are released is simply that they make more money selling them on a contract, this is the same reason they don't offer upgrades straight away.
I've been a salesperson so i know why they do it & having been in that position i agree with them i'm afraid (tough i know!) it's not profitable for the saleperson (is for the company but not AS MUCH as a contract)
I used to sell simfree D500s for £400 & make £0, thats right £0 from it, I sold a contract & i'd make a tenner or so, what would you do in that situation? It's not fair but....
In relation to them refusing to sell you them remember that any retailer can refuse you service if they so wish, harsh but not a thing you can do about it.

Just had a man from SE ring me to tell me the 750i will be on the eshop thursday/friday this week and priced £325... I was driving at the tiem so couldnt get into deep conversation but I think asking £325 is a bit much!

I went onto the orange website to see about upgrading (currently had my t610 about 18 months).
Seems to suggest I have to pay £189 to upgrade my phone.
Admittedly I am only on a £15 a month tariff but that seems very costly.
I would gladly upgrade my tariff to about £30 on a 12 month contract to get the phone for £30 (which is what I could get it for if i took out a new contract).
Doesnt seem possible though, guess I will just have to jump to o2.

You can upgrade your tarriff to £30 and get the phone for £30. I upgraded my tarriff last month so that I wouldnt have to pay anything for the phone - I'm now on an orange premiere plan and get upgrades after 9 months if I stay on it that long!

Dont fancy having to wait till my next billing period for my new tariff to kick in. Any idea if i will be able to sort this out immediately if i go into an orange shop?
