Ended up ringing to see when my contract ended, and they offered me the Iphone4 on a pretty good deal, for cheaper than I'm paying now. Plus I get it on Tuesday. I stand corrected, retention's is always worth a try!

I'm thinking about just getting an Iphone4 from 3. Instore they have a good offer on the Iphone 3gs for £25 a month/£69 for the handset(before March), but can get the Iphone4 for £30 a month on a better deal from them anytime for £99 upfront, but I'd get £55 from Mazuma for my Blackberry to offset that a bit...

I might pop into town and see what the Carephone Warehouse can offer me, the option to go and see them in person is a definite deal breaker like!

Tried going through retentions on with your current provider and trying to blag a good deal?

Nah, mainly because last time I upgraded T-Mobile wouldn't budge, so I walked away and found a good deal on a Dial-a-phone type website but backed out of that at the last minute because of the horror stories and ended up paying £15 extra a month for 100 extra minutes that I don't need :/

As for the Torch, loads said that about the Curve when I get that too, and I love mine. I think I'm just going to try and take my chances with it as it seems every phone gets slated now. Ideally I'd like a touch screen and a QWERTY keyboard so it's pretty much down to that and the HTC.

I can get a decent deal through the Carephone Warehouse for a little more than Dial-a-Phone, which I was more tempted to use because they have a shop in town so if I had any real problems I could go see them and kick up a fuss.

Finally got round to listening to this, wasn't especially bothered before listening as I think they're just alright. But it's pretty good! Be giving it a few more listens before any tracks stand out, only bad point on first listen is that it did seem quite short.

Basic question, anyone used any of the above companies?

My contract is up soon and I'm pretty sure on the phone I want(either Blackberry Torch or HTC Desire Z(good shout from Robbie!)), the only problem is to get a decent deal through T-Mobile it'll cost me roughly £40+ a month for the phone I want, and haven't found many better offers with other companies directly.

Through Dial-a-phone I can get a pretty good deal on texts and minutes, with 500mb internet & unlimited BB mail(for the Torch) for roughly £20 a month. Usually I wouldn't touch these companies because of the horror stories you read, but the massive difference is making it very tempting.

Reading reviews online the majority are horror stories, but then again I think your more likely to write a review about a bad experience rather than a good experience.

Any help would be appreciated, ta!

I think the only problem with it is the tonality is flat. There's no proper blacks and no proper whites, like its just been desaturated. Try convert using channel mixer and you'll get better results.

I like that though, makes it look a bit more 'haunting'(what a film wank word) rather than too polished.

I think alot of the time you do look back on nights and mostly remember the good bits. Lots of people I know whinged about Blackout/Arena etc when they were running, now the same people don't like whats about now and want those nights back.


I like the new Haxed by the way, might start coming back more often!

In Mars Bars, how much taller is Jeremy Clarkson than Tom Cruise?


A Mars bar is 4 inches high. Jeremy Clarkson measures 19.25 Mars bars high, whilst Tom Cruise is 16.75 Mars bars high. There's a 2.5 Mars bar difference.
