I got the wildfire, however if you can afford It I'd get one with a faster processor as this can occasionally lag

+1, am locked in until next year on mine bastards :wtf: though to be honest, I use my phones just for texting, occasionally web browsing and making calls and taking pics, for that my wildfire is fine. I did go and check a load of apps out when I 1st got it and was like "sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet" for a week then just used the basic functions lol
 
Ive looked at the wildfire. dont like the look of it. I want the HTC Hero in black. even though the HTC Hero is a pretty old phone. i think it came out some time in 2009. doesnt seem to be that many decent phones around after that.

I definitely dont want to go back to a samsung phone thats for sure.

Ive found a brandnew unlocked htc hero for £120. however the black version cost £170. Its amazing how much they hike up the price just because the plastic is molded in a different colour....

Its not as if they had to craft it out of a black rock that was still burning red from coming from the earths core. why such a high price???? same phone, same internals. different colour and BAM an extra £40 on top?!

Really what network?

My mum got a wildfire s on 15 a month!

Still a nice phone but 600vs 1000mhz processor and all that :laugh:

Also someone root my phone for me : [

I want 1.2ghz 24/7 : [
 
Well, he's the situation. I have a rolling contract with 3 that is 100mins, unlimited text and 3GB internet for £10/month. I then got a deal for the Desire S on Orange with 30mins, Unlimited texts and 100MB internet for £10/month for 24 months.

I gave my mum the Orange contract (which she now uses on her phone, and pays) and i kept my 3 contract :)

Why not watch a bit of YouTube first? I love Guyver, have the complete series of the original. Love it. Plus the crap live action movies.

i shall watch the youtube, although since it works out at around 1p a minute i might buy it anyway cause it would have to be seriously crap not to work out as a good deal for that

EDIT: Can only find trailers but it looks decent

this is the remake, i heard it follows the original comic series a lot more closely

I love guyver and i think for that price for all 26 episodes is worth it,considering back when it 1st came out in volume in HMV i saw it for like £17 or something for like episode 1-3 lol. I am waiting for season 2,if they ever make it. Theres enough chapters released from the manga side for the director to begin a season 2.

The main Zavvi stores went out of business with woolworths but they are only operating via online now ever since their in-store side got bust.
Some of the stuff from zavvi are unbelievably cheap,they have some amazing deals too. I bought my Steelseries sibera V2 headphones cheap from zavvi compared to Ebuyer price. I have also got zone of the enders HD collection for PS3 on pre-order as Zavvi doing it cheapest.

And innocent i recommend watching the anime series it goes further from the original OVA. I too have watched all of them apart from 1st live-action which looks terrible. The 2nd one was okayish the actions was excellent for its time compared to today with all of its fancy animations.
 
Ive just spent some time lurking around zaavi's computer section.... most of the stuff tends to be more expensive if its not in a bundle/deal
 
Motorola Atrix £15 per month Really love it!

Well there comp section is bad but when i looked at like their peripherals some of them are a bit cheaper than scan,ebuyer etc etc.
An example i could give is the Razer Tron mouse was like £100 or something on scan and zavvi selling it for £10 less. Other thing i found cheap was my steelseries headphone which was also £10 less than ebuyer price. Just a few bits and bobs cheaper. Also they have a 80gb external 2.5" hdd which may be useful to people who tend to backup things from like the Ps3 etc etc lol.

I tend to use it mainly for games which is cheaper on order than other places.

Also i got a blackberry torch unlocked,paying £10 o2 simplicity,unlimited text and 100minute calls and then £5 blackberry bolt-on. I can't afford to keep paying £15 each month,unfortunately o2 being dicks they changed their simplicity deals to like £10.50 etc which i find ridiculous do people pay £10.50 a month if they pay by topping up?? I can understand if its online payment but not direct cash jeez. And the tariff is lot worst.
My friend is on contract and he only pays £10 and his covered with blackberry bolt-on service,unlimited text and 100minute call?? WTF man seriously its unfair,yeah his on contract but jeez am i getting a crappier deal than that.
 
Does anybody have a dual core phone here? Just wondering how they perform.
I hate phone deals, everyone has amazing deals and im still on a shitty nokia 5530 pay as you go :(

What you looking for? A phone or just a sim? Also depends a lot on what phone you want. I wanted a Samsung Galaxy S II but i cant really afford £30, add that up for 24 months its expensive :ohwell:

That phone looks awesome! Just checked out a review of it, has a massive capacity battery too which is a nice touch. Im a big android fan although i dont have an android phone myself, right now i see it as the best phone OS around. If windows mobile got better maybe i would like that but ive used it and while its okay i just find android easier (my brother has a samsung with win mobile 7).
