Guest NightSt@lk3r Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 are you implying the TFT screen needs less battery power than OLED...? no, he is implying that after 16 hours on 2G with a few texts and a bit of wifi he still has 93% battery left.

Guest marcovanb Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Hi, My sister is going to the UK and is hopefully going to pick up a ZTE blade for me. SHe will be new Birmingham and can get to Orange mobile and Argos shops. Are there any other alternatives? What is currently the cheapest way to get a phone from off the street? Thanks in advance, Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tttonyyy Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Think you'll be hard pressed to beat Argos/Orange if you want to buy it from a highstreet shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cletusarrarr Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 whats the best deal right now in the UK ? Orange stopped offering phone discounts, they offered student discounts for this phone before christmas and brought the total to £80, now they are offering it for £99 on phone and £120 in store. Is there any way to get it cheaper right now ? Looking to buy a couple one for me and one for the missus. Wish someone could help me get a better deal on this. Unfortunately i missed the train. Anything cheaper than £99 would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the advantage is that you can sell the voucher straight away as the to up is not credited to the sim card.

Say i bought this somewhere with a compulsory 10 or 20 topup would i need to wait until it was credited before i could move away to o2? If I did move away what about this balance sitting?

If I did move away what about this balance sitting? Sorry new to these smartphones! :( It depends where you buy the phone. Some places pre-load the credit to the new sim card (online stores), some give you a top up voucher which you can use with any orange sim card (Argos). When the sim card is credited with the 10 quid in either way you have the money straight away, but when you leave the network you simply lose all that's left on your sim card.

Guest heavyduty00 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) i think if you dont put the sim card in or anything, they wont charge you in the bill Because for me, I put mine in for about a few hours to charge and stuff, but still didnt receive any usual texts for settings etc Then I went to unlock the phone and didnt use the sim orange card after. And a few days later when they send me invoice, they only charged me like 80 ish quid total overall price. This was when there was that discount online, a few weeks ago.

Guest ace9094 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I got one for my friend from Orange online 0800 079 2000 EXTRA BONUS If you are a registerd Orange customer, you can get £30 off the £109.99 price tag. I phoned Orange and for a friend who has been on Orange for ages. When I asked the guy on the phone if it was true you can get a discount if you are already a customer he said yes. He then asked for the mobile number and said you must of been a registerd customer for 3months or more. Thats it :( Happy Days ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ron=) Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Orange will be re-stocking grey handsets this Friday and the phones will be ready for purchase on Monday according to a sales rep. Hope this helps! This means all of the orange discounts will probably be avalible if we buy direct! Edited January 5, 2011 by Ron=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
