Mobile phone help

[soverign]

Can any of you lovely ladies help me chose a phone? It is my birthday in 2 weeks so I was hoping to buy myself a new mobile. I only do pay as you go after orange wrongfully took £455 from my bank account over a sales rep giving me the wrong information. It cost me over £100 in phone calls trying to get it resolved and then I only got £130ish back!

Anyhow I would like it to have wifi if poss and a good camera. I love nokias and have the N81 in mind but it is rather pricey! I dont think you can get ones with wifi cheap though!

Iv got a nokia N95, the best phone Iv ever had. The cameras great, easy to use, got wifi, huge memory.
I think its the best phone around. and you can get it for around £250 on ebay unlocked.

Hey hun would that be brand new for £250? I really hate getting second hand phones! I have OCD so any scratches irritate the lift out of me!

 

[jazzmum2be]

Well I got mine new off ebay for £280 and it was unlocked. But if you dont by the first one and keep looking for a few weeks normally one comes up dirt cheap thats new
Its a great phone so defintaly worth the money

 

[soverign]

[jazzmum2be]

I got the samsung G800, supposed to be an "awesome" camera. Its shite!! Even with the image stabalizer on they're always blurred & those that arent blurred the print out quality isnt that good even on 5mp. Feels like a brick, tunes sound tinny and I am very very disappointed with it.

I had the ericsson cybershot (k850i?) before it which I loved but it broke within 6 weeks and they didnt have any in stock to send as replacement.

My OH is on that contract with his samsumg omnia. I really don't want to be tied to one right now I have a LO incase anything does go wrong. I just don't trust phone companys. They are so sneaky!

Nearly - 15th April

they took how much

Thats why I hate paying for anything with a card.

Its cash always for me or nothing.

 

[soverign]

Its a very long story! I had a pocket PC and it broke after 6 months. Wouldn't turn on or anything. Took it into Orange shop and spoke to a sales rep about it. She told me that as I had no insurance on it I would have to pay £70 emergency charge to get it replaced as it was past the 14 days free exchange time period. I paid with OH's card there and then and they sent me a new phone.

Well I got the biggest shock of my life when I opened my bank statement a few weeks later. They had taken a HUUGEEE chunk of my money. I rang them up straight away and they told me that I owed them that for the replacement phone. I told them I was quoted £70 in the shop and I had paid that there and then also. They could see that I had.

Apparently the shop had given me the wrong information and it was not £70 to get replaced. It wasn't my fault I was given the wrong information. I would never have paid all that money out for a replacement phone if I was told the correct information. I was pregnant at the time and needed all the money for my LO's arrival.

I think it paid a huge factor in me being diagnosed with high blood pressure and then being induced with Pre eclampsia. I was so stressed out from it and was crying every night. I had spent ages saving up for my LO and then had it all taken away from me.

Hense why I never want a contract EVER AGAIN!!!
