sim free price drop

[Guest LeiChat]

Do sim free prices drop quite as dramatically as contact / upgrade prices once a phone's been out for a while?

While the Modaco/Expansys offer is very tempting, I can't afford the difference at the moment after (hopefully) selling my Wizard and TomTom5 bluetooth.

They tend to drop more slowly than Contract prices, because there is no subsidy. Clove's price for the TyTn II is now £390 +VAT

Like Neil5459, it drops very slowly, you'll be lucky if there is a decent price drop by next year.

Lets put it this way dabs.com still listing the Tytn I sim free for £ 385 ex VAT was there ever a huge price reduction of the Tytn I

That's a fair point. I bookmarked the Wizard on Amazon a couple of years ago at £449 and it's now £469, despite it being discontinued on o2 etc.

I was...

a) just being foolishly optimistic and

:wub: using you all to convince myself there's no point waiting and I might as well order one now. ;)

Well if you can't justify a Tytn II the only other option is picking up an unlocked Tytn I 2nd user on eBay there's a couple on there for under £ 200 Buy It Now. I might of been better off doing that as a) I don't need GPS b> Tytns can be upgraded to WM6 c) I would save over £ 200

Forget Clove, try handtec I just bought mine there, and it seems to be the cheapest around, and it comes with free next day delivery all for the handsome price of £373.99+vat (£439.44).

Here's the link for anyone who wants it. HTC TyTN II

I'd rather raid the piggy bank, the 'I' just isn't enough of an upgrade from the Wizard. The II has better CPU and memory which based upon my experiences with the Wizard is clearly needed. I dread to think how clunky WM6 might run, plus I do like the idea of built in GPS as I use SportsDo and carrying a pocket pc and bluetooth gps can be awkward when running etc.
