Best Deals for new phones

Hello,
My contract runs out in December and all my friends are getting cool new packages some with XBox360 others with broad band (Orange)

I have these web sites.
http://www.buymobilephones.net/
http://new.p3mobiles.com/
http://www.orange.co.uk/
That seem to offer the best deals so far.
However with P3mobs I dont like the tarrifs they seem to be running but love the free game idea.
and not sure how good it is to tie your broadband into your mobile contract.
Can people tell me of other deals worth a look and post the websites they have used please.
Also how good is the new orange deal with (ffor me the best is racoon £35) do you get unlimited calls to land lines as well as the broadband?

Thanks for the advice
Tom

Re: Best Deals for new phones

The free broadband package from Orange is a good deal if youre already paying £35 per month for your contract. free wireless box and free broadband nearly made me switch from NTL until they offered me my broadband free as well. the only catch with the orange package last time I looked you are limited to a download limit.
At the moment TMobile arguably do the best deals in terms of packages, especially when it comes to data downloads, which is why recently theyve stopped offering customers good hardware upgrades at the end of their contracts.
Theres lots of info about on these forums about what the real cost is of the "free" stuff such as 360s etc. You have to do a lot of reading.

www.mobilereserve.com is a good site to use for comparisons in my experience.

Re: Best Deals for new phones

Came across this site the other day http://www.findmobiledeals.com/ - wish i had looked at it and knew about it before instead I went and signed up to a 18 mth contact with 02 with free samsund Z320i, 1000 cross mins and 150 texts for £35 month. I want to change my phone now because I don't like the features

I got 500 mins, 1000 txts, 3 months free insurance and a free Sony 800i from Vodafone for £35 a month which I thought was a good deal.

Sorry to double post.

Anyone know if this firm is still around?
The website is unreachable... I maybe going to miss out on my cash back now.
