    Anyone got any good places for buying Sim-Free handsets? Cheapest seems to be 24Gadget, but the site seems very ropy...

    I honestly think the SGSII is the best phone around at the moment, if you wait for the next phone, you will always be waiting.

    Re: Phone Upgrade time

    Nah, decided against that. Doesn't feel comfortable in the hand. Besides, I'm used to Sense now, and everyone know, Change Isn't Good...

    Re: Phone Upgrade time

    OK, still haven't made the leap.
    I've been looking at Quidco though. Am I right in saying that if I buy through them by going to quidco first, I get cashback at a later date, rather than off the headline price?
    So, say a phone is £69.99 for an upgrade, and the quidco offer is £60 off an upgrade, I'd get the £60 back from quidco, effectively making the phone cost £9.99?

    Re: Phone Upgrade time

    Sounds pretty much right (I barely use quidco, but the wife does) - you use a tracked link from quidco, when you complete the purchase online the store you bought from validates with quidco that you made a qualifying transaction and quidco stick the money in your quidco account, from whence it draw it out in some other, more useful, format

    If your hands are comfortable with SGSII, then go for it. But HTC sense is nice, tried sensation ?
