Nokia N95 8gb
Whats the best deals on this phone at the moment.
I am looking for it for free and £30.oo a month to include unlimited mobile internet, any ideas?
Ideally I would like it on Orange as then I could keep my free broadband at home.

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
You wont get the phone free on a £35 tariff from Orange, certainly not direct from Orange themselves.
The best places to check, other than the operators own websites, are:
www.dialaphone.co.uk
www.phones4u.co.uk
www.e2save.com
They all do the phone free on a £35 tariff (apart from e2save) but I dont think you get unlimited internet... you'll have to look into it. I only checked Orange too, so it might be worth checking O2 etc.
I am actually waiting for Orange to restock so I can upgrade my Viewty to a N95 8GB. I'm on Dolphin 25 and they're offering me the phone for £10. I might see if I can get my local Phones4U to offer me a better deal though... I like playing them all off against each other

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
Redemption deals suck, you have to wait ages for your money back, thats if you are lucky enough to get it (e2save didn't give me mine). plus Orange like to rape phones with their software and refuse to help you if there are any problems later, from my experience anyway.
£30 a month, free handset AND unlimited internet? That is wishful thinking. Most £30 deals you come across will pretty much all be 18 months. Data packages are separate. not sure how much Orange charge, £7.50 unlimited with Tmob if thats anything to go by.

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
O2 - £30/month but 24 month min - change bolt on to free internet rather than free O2 to O2 calls. You can get O2 home broadband too but don't know what it costs - try haggling!

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
I’m now in the same boat as Broooce… I called Orange again today and they still don’t have the phone in stock so I gave them my cancellation notice as my 30 day period is looming (strange, as I though I had to write them a letter) I am now going to check out all the deals available but I reckon I’ll end up going back to O2 as they don’t lock their handsets and I don’t think they put any branding on the N95 either… something which I believe both Vodafone and T-Mobile do.

T-mobile only put a small logo on the back in the same print as the nokia branding.

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
Rang Orange today, they say they cant upgrade me until 90 days before the end of contract which they say is the law!! Is that right?
She did say that from th 28th July I can have the phone free, 600 mins, unlimited txts, unlimited data and keep my free home broadband.
Sounds really good but I want it NOW!

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
Haha, sounds like me! I hate waiting too! Orange dont have any in stock right now anyway.
Just got a call from Dial-A-Phone to say O2 didnt accept me as a customer, lol... I have had a bit of credit card trouble the past couple of months so I must have failed the credit check. So, I went crawling back to Orange and cancelled my cancellation. The guy was cool with it and said they should have the N95 8GB back in stock in about two weeks.

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
Annoying because the website says the phones are in stock for new customers!

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
That's the because all providers value newbs over their existing customers!

Re: Nokia N95 8gb
What about this 90 day thing? Is that some OFCOM guideline or what?
