After a very long delay for O2 approval, it's here, and with a free 8GB microSD too! Hurrah!

I'm ordering one on the 35 quid plan with the 5 month half price line rental myself! I have a loaner HD at the moment and it's my new favourite Pocket PC...

Don't forget to use code 'MODACO' for a free 'Jabra Bluetooth 2010 Drive Pack'!

that's fantastic! i'm guessing to get web access at a decent price the usual £7.50 bolt-on direct from O2 would be the way to go?
also, is there any news of the Touch HD being sold directly from O2 - i am out of contract and would like to get a decent upgrade offer from them

I'm assuming that you could swap the unlimited SMS bolton offered here for the web one?

Let us know how you get on. I've emailed them (and O2) but no reply as yet. If this is possible that would clinch it...

PCPro reviewed SmartPhones this month and the Touch HD came top - beating my favourite (the iPhone), The Blackberry Storm and Curve, The Omnia and the XP1

[Monolithix]

Ordered mine last night!  According to the o2 bolt-on terms (HERE) you can change every 90 days, so hopefully you can straight away too.  Roll on Saturday (stupid delivery address)

Afraid they are useless at answering the phone....so I too have emailed them. AS with you, the delivery to non-work address would clinch it....if not, I would pay the extra life-time cost and go with Expansys on T-Mob
Do let us know if you get an email response.

I meant the swap of Bolt On from texts to web would clinch it. Delivery to home isn't a problem for me. O2 are a bit more responsive, but can't comment on mobiles.co.uk's deals, and mobiles.co.uk don't seem to say exactly what O2 plan it is. So I'm trying to get enough information out of O2 to make it worth the risk...

oh right - sorry didn't realise that! look forward to seeing what you find out from O2. which plan are u thinking of going for?

£35 a month. If the "5 months at half price" cashback works out then it should be the cheapest total cost (£543 - the equivalent of £30.16 pcm for 18 months).

[robbmasters]

OK, O2 say...

Quote

If you get Unlimited Text Bolt On with your tariff, you can change it to Unlimited Web Bolt On. This can do this only within the first 14 days of your contract. If you're outside the 14 days of your contract, you can then change to the Bolt On of your choice after every 90 days.

You can add the Unlimited Web Bolt On to your account for a monthly charge of £7.33 (including VAT) even if you get Unlimited Text Bolt On with your tariff.

You can add as many Bolt Ons for a monthly charge of £7.33 (including VAT) each.

If you're paying for any Bolt On you can remove them from your account after one month.

Which is probably enough info for me to take the plunge.

Edit: Plunged.

I asked Mobiles on everyone's behalf about the bolt-ons, but unfortunately they said it'd need to be confirmed with O2.

Find out soon enough I guess eh peeps?

....how many texts are you left with if you swap from unltd texts to unltd web?
so near to purchasing...

I don't know!

I hope it's an Online 35 tariff, which would give me 1000 texts.
If it's a store tariff, it should be 500 instead.
If its some other esoteric tarff, then who know!

Looks like I might get it tomorrow too...

Edited by robbmasters, 11 December 2008 - 06:46 PM.

[PaulOBrien]

At least by buying online if the tariff does turn out to be something bizarre we can return the device (like I did with the G1 in the end!)

P

[gibson99]

cool - well hope its at least 500 texts, that would do me fine!
