Must admit to having just signed up to a new contract with CPW getting an S3 Mini and Tab2 for free

Now, must convince my daughter that she doesn't want an iPhone....

Quite strange. Prices on tablets - good, included Nexus. Prices on Nexus 4 = bad.

Got to wonder how much of the price cuts are coming from the manufacturers. Although I'll freely admit to being very tempted by the £317 (and then a further £50 rebate from Samsung) on the Galaxy Note 10.1. However in the end I paid an extra quid to Tesco's - CPW's stocks of the GN10.1 seemed to be very low, only found one store claiming any stock, and I like the idea of £318 worth of Clubcard points - something that CPW can't match. Popped into a big Tesco's locally and got my GN10.1 "over the counter" with the minimum of fuss.

Really like the GN10.1 by the way - stylish, well-built, fast and very flexible. And hey, if it's good enough for HRH (http://hexus.net/mobile/news/android...note-101-ipad/)...

Just wish CPW were allowed to sell the Surface - would really like to get into RT, but don't fancy the current pricing.

Yep why would you pay CPW £389 for a NEXUS 4 when you can buy one direct from GOOGLE for £100 less.

I think it's the fact that you can't get them from Google at the moment. As soon as they come back in stock, I should imagine CPW's price will drop...

Not Carphone warehouse's fault. This is Lg inflating the price over Google to make more money.
