What have I done...?

[Salazaar]

I just chucked £170 Expansys' way to get one of the new HTC Touch Diamonds... I hope it's worth it!

[Funkstar]

£170!

I take it that is just a deposit for pre-order?

have you looked at Device Wire? they are supposed to be pretty good.

[Salazaar]

Nah, it's the up front cost with an inexpensive T-Mobile contract. I did all the workings out and it was cheapest this way.

Apparently Expansys have genuine UK models in stock!

[DR]

Feel free to write a piece for us on it... PM me?

[Salazaar]

Huzzah! It's just been confirmed that it shipped today.

<sings>

I'm getting a shiny new phone in the morning,
ding dong the bells are gonna chime...

[TAKTAK]

is this the one that SiM was ranting and raving about??

have fun with your new gubbins

[Salazaar]

Yeah, The next best phone - HTC Diamond Touch that one.

I've been eyeing it up for a while but when I saw the size of the dummy one in my local Orange shop I knew I had to have it

[nc555]

Handset Only Price: £434.69 !!

I think I will stick to my Orbit for now...lol.

No seriously I too would be interested to read a review.

[Funkstar]

It's probably a mistake pricing error, but the Diamond has appeared in the Vodaphone magazine for "£230 handset only".

I damned well hope it's an error or I'm going to be crying.

Not that trick again, when I was looking for my HTC TYTN II, they had in there magazine/catalogue thing the TYTN II at just under £200.

Its a complete con, I had a very heated argument with one of there store managers about it, but no they wouldnt budge, turns out theres very small print, that you already need a business account set up, so the £230 there talking about is to get an additonal handset.

[Funkstar]

Thanks

I've posted over on CoolSmartPhone asking someone to have a proper look at the brochure

[Funkstar]

OK, more on this.

Apparently there is no small print, or indication to see small print on another page.

So make of that what you will. Personally I'm waiting for the TyTN II replacement. I might be tempted to buy that handset only.

[Salazaar]

Grrrr.

Oh well, I got it yesterday, good phone but I'm still learning how to make it work.

Sounds promising

Although still skeptical, I had this arguement with 2 store managers even carrying round there magazine with the price in, and one of them would even let a TYTN II go without it being on a contract, no matter what the price of it was.
