Hi, Since that phone is relatively old by many standards now, I won't be taking it. A coleague of mine at work this morning over coffee was saying that she got a new Orange phone with an 18 month contract, and that she got a 32 inch LCD television free with it, and how good a deal it was. That was until she told me that she was paying £40 per month for the contract!

In some instances free is a good deal. For one instance, if you take out a Vodaphone contract at 30 pounds per month, you get a Nokia N95 with talks installed for free. Now, that's not too hard to take.

I'm very suspicious when it comes to this kind of offer. Hope to hear from you soon. From Martin.

Hi Billy, As far as I know its a cheap laptop, or 350 pounds off a decent one if you sign up to 3 mobile service. And you can bet its an 18 month contract if not longer.
