Bookmark topic
Got my (2) k850's today, yes o2 sent me two for some reason - will have to call them up and see what happened.
Did anyone get a memory card from o2 with their phone?

@ piecan
when they give you the pac just accept it and take it
then like a few hours later phone up again and say you want the pac
then you'll be forwared to retentions and just say you want the pac again and most advisors will ask why you want to leave (the female advisors tend to care a lot more and tend to try and get you a better deal, whereas the male advisors usually don't really care lol) then just keep phoning again and again until you get a deal.
i had to phone up at least 12 times before i got a good deal
@ ghostfreak
i got o2 upgrade
they sent me a gsm version unlocked unbranded
it came with a 512mb M2

Must check mine when it's finished charging.
Anyone not get one?

@H901 Thanks for that. I rang an o2 shop and was told that it isn't £189.99 for the K850i on my tariff of £18.99 but £159.99 and that they do things for existing customers. So rang back Upgrade and explained how an o2 shop were willing to make more effort to keep me than retentions yesterday and how they seemed to not mind me going. He said he could do the k850i on my tariff for £129.99 but that I may get a better deal from retentions. So rang them again and got a helpful chap who did my £18.99 tariff 12mths and £59.99 for phone, which makes it £287.87 Not quite the same bargain the rest of you are getting but better than £531.81 they wouldn't budge on yesterday!
@Ghostfreak
How long do you charge it for the first time please?

Well I've had it on charge for about 3 hours and it states 'fully charged' so I'm going to take it off charge and play around with it for a while then put it on charge overnight.
Oh and there was a 512mb memory card as well inserted

Thanks Ghostfreak
When I got my last SE from Carphonewarehouse they said to charge it for 15 hours which I'm sure you don't need to do with these new type of batteries. I've got a 1gb memory stick, is it the micro one the K850 takes? I've got that in the Memory stick pro duo adaptor in my w810i at the moment, so can easily put that in the new phone. Look forward to hearing how you're getting on with the phone.

Are you sure the phone was unbranded? I've never seen an unbranded phone from O2? Or do you mean physically unbranded rather than firmware? =S

Hi Guys,
I found the main thing with o2 retentions is... Don't say too much first person apart from you want to leave because "they" wouldn't give you the phone or contract you wanted. Ask for your PAC. Then you will be put through to someone who will be able to help you. I got the K850i for free, 400mins, 500txts and half price line rental for 12months on a 18month contract. Of which I am more than happy with
. Retentions wouldn't even get me the phone for free. So as others have said perseverance pays off. But you need to find a contract that they can check against to get a deal.
Good luck,
Norm
