I'm gonna wait more towards the time £460 is too high

Navygeno which website did you order from, and was that an April fools hint.....

Hahahahahaha~~
I aware that too. I ordered from my local PCCW in HK.

They will deliver the device to my home and sign the contract at the same time.

I don't know Superetrader.
Is it a safe and reliable shop?
Do you have any experience?

£449.99 with a bunch of freebies inc. free delivery!

[ermacwins]

I stand corrected, Expansys selling at £449
If you have quidco they give 5% off and also you can use this code EXPANSYS450 for £10 off £450 purchase so I added a fm transmitter at 82p and the code worked
http://www.quidco.com/expansys-uk/?ac
£440.81

then after quidco tracks at £22 the phone should cost £418

Also topcashback might work

Hey, have you guys tried ordering one from Amazon Germany? They offer it for 461€ (!) here, but atm they only take preorders. LG will release it until the 31th this month. http://www.amazon.de...p;condition=new

Ive found out from my local Airtel-Vodafone store that they are purchasing them for £360.... and because one of my mates works their i will get staff discount and also because their clueless they think ive been waiting for ages (ive been bugging them everyday) they are going to give me more discount! So i got told yesterday i can get it for around £380 but as my contract is due an upgrade...... it might be free!!

[Arival]

I'd be tempted by the Modaco offer but i should be able to get it free as my contract is due an upgrade. I'll be going anywhere that stocks this phone but currently no operator seems to know if they'll be providing it.  Three have confirmed that they'll stock the Optimus 3D but not the 2X which seems mad to me.

Mobiles.co.uk (an arm of carphone warehouse) is taking contract upgrade pre-orders on Orange and Vondafone, plus a range of "free" gifts (including a cheapie 7" Binatone android tablet). Might be worth checking out if you need a contract. Link:

http://www.mobiles.c...optimus-2x.html

Incidentally,  they told me on Monday that they hope to ship out the Optimus 2x orders by Friday - but we'll see.

Cheers, I'd missed that! I'm on Orange at the moment so it's very tempting but only 500meg data is nowhere near enough unfortunately, I've got 1gig at the moment and i regularly go over that so hopefully better deals will be forthcoming - 3's unlimited data plan or something comparable would be nice!

It seems that data plans just seem to be getting smaller, whilst contracts get longer. I'm limited where I live anyway, only O2 and Vodafone have coverage, and rarely get 3G reception. Luckily have wi-fi in most places so I live by that!

Ordered from Superetrader :-)

[ermacwins]

UPDATE: I emailed expansys and they said they can add the code for me. It seems they added the add voucher code function back
They are quite confident that they will get it on the 21st.

Gonna order today

[tone-fu]

I'm definitely interested. I'll be buying one within the next month.

dang, still got order placed and will cancel if something better comes along....

Well Three have said they won't be stocking the Optimus 2X which is a shame, seems weird too seeing as they already plan on releasing the Optimus 3D.

"We don't have any current plans to range the 2X I'm afraid."

Guess if i want to go with the One plan i'll have to hope carphonewarehouse/expansys offer a good One plan deal but they don't seem to do that for too many phones at the moment. The Galaxy S2 is the only interesting phone Three have planed but the 2x looks like a much better all round phone, can't afford £450 for a sim free phone though, not when a contract is such better value.
