Guest Transform Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 After much thought, I would like to get a Touch Dual but not on an Orange Monthly tarrif. Is there any other way of getting my hands on the phone without going on contract? Also, is it officially out in the UK now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 It'll be on sale from the usual sources (eXpansys etc) soon, but it's not out yet! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Transform Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) ahh sweet! in your opinion, do you think its going to be very pricey to get this way? Edited October 31, 2007 by Transform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Well, it won't be cheap, define pricey ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HerpezP Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Of course it can. Doesn't anyone buy phones wihtout a contract? £370 is the price at the moment - http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?partner=modaco&i=156005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Transform Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 omg! i think thats way too much for me. i really dont want to get it on orange ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MartinDB Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 The cheapest I've seen it is £335 at Handtec and at Clove. If only I could decide whether I want a numeric pad more than WiFi and GPS <_< Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rabbit Rocks Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 iam sure you can buy one with any contract and network in the uk , just go to the carephone warehouse or simular and get an unbranded htc version with the network you want , also you wont have a simlock or a de brander needed ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Transform Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 i didnt really want to get it on contract thats the thing. i would be quite happy putting my o2 pay & go sim in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Welcome to the real world! Handsets are expensive and high tech bits of tech, and the false image of "cheapness" portrayed by networks subsidies on them is unfortunately quite decieveing. My advice: Give it 4-6 weeks from release and grab a decent 2nd hand one off eBay :( Alternatively you could of course take out a cheap contract. Look at how much you want to spend on the device, say 250? Thats 10 months of a £25 contract (assuming the Dual is free at this price level!). Other deals, free Xbox's etc, can further sweeten the balance over the length of a contract ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
