HTC HD7 Ordering

[Tizer]

Hey,

Was looking at ordering the HTC HD7 on friday so it arrived Sat or Monday...the only place online i can find a good deal is buymobilephones.net with 300 mins, unlimited texts and 500mb data at £30 a month BUT it is outa stock for 3 weeks!

Anyone know of any places i can find a similar deal..? i have looked bloody everywhere!!

TA! x

 

[DrR]

How much is the phone on that deal?


And how long is the contract.

 

[Tizer]

free phone 24 months

 

[The Hoff]

Pap, not enough minutes.

I'm paying £35 with Voda on a 24mth deal, 900 minutes, unlimited text, 750mb data, free Desire HD (a better phone). Look elsewhere IMO, and make sure you want WP7... IMO right now it can't even begin to compete with iOS/Android or BB.

 

[Tizer]

im sick of android atm though :/
i dont need 900 mins tbh ill struggle to get to 300, mainly for texts. As far as phones go its kinda down to personal preference and Voda is pap in canterbury o2 is the future

 

[Joe!]

Why are you not considering the iphone?

 

[Tizer]

because i have to fork out £100+ for the phone in the first place!

 

[Joe!]

What phone do you have now? Can get good trade in prices from Carphone Warehouse

 

[Tizer]

i have a 2yr old Nokia 6500 classic lol...

I got a good deal with voda, for the 7 trophy though. 18 month contract, 900 minutes, unlimited sms and 500mb internet, free phone aswell. Loving WP7 tbh, came from android, but there are a few things lacking at the moment like multitasking. my advice would be to wait it out till after xmas, supposed to be an update in the new year to add features etc.

 

[Tizer]

wont i just be able to download it onto the phone i buy though?

Yeah you'll be able to update it. I just had a look at some contracts, they aren't cheap! Yet on payg they are £380 which I think is a decent price.

 

[The Hoff]

I still can't get my head around the fact WP7 won't support external memory. It's lacking in too many areas to be a real competitor. It's like buying a Perodua Nippa instead of a Golf or A3 that were priced identically.

 

[Tizer]

im not sure i would need any more external memory though? 1gb is standard i believe...

 

[Revels]

1GB is a tiny amount.

 

[Goodj]

dont get HTC, they seem to have the fault of generally being w@nk

It has 16gb of "internal" storage. How much external storage do you want?

 

[Tizer]

oh my bad 16gb then lol

 

[Tizer]

^^true! just need to find a deal so i can order it now grr

 

[word_easy]

try mobiles.co.uk . Probably not as good as that deal, but you can usually get some Quidco from them!

Just got my HD7 through O2 direct, 16gig, 900 mins/unlimted texts/750mb net/ 24 month contract with free 12 month upgrade (doesn't extend the contract any/any phone other then iphone)

£40 a month with free HD7, it's a business contract they have give me.

Also get a replacement phone sent to me within 24 hours if mine breaks.

Is it anygood? I've played with one in a shop and it all seems snazzy enough, but does it work well etc?

 

[mr.valver]

been spot on so far, had it since Thursday, fair few apps, more come out everyday.

Runs fast, never froze/crashed. Screen is easy to use. Loads of neat little features. someone steals your phone, you can lock it from your computer and put a nice message on the screen.

If it's on silent and you can't find it, go online send the phone a signal to ring, also if you really can't find it, you can locate it on a map online.

I really like it, but never had iphone etc etc.

It has 16gb of "internal" storage. How much external storage do you want?

Well using my DHD as an example, it has 1.5GB of internal use for apps (you can move to SD), and whatever capacity of microSD i decide to use, in my case 16GB... however I also have a 4GB card inside my SIM cover which has some additional films/music on it. If I wish to I can buy a 32GB card tomorrow. You get the idea, to not have that functionality is IMO a deal breaker and is tantamount to what Apple do with their phones - creating a market of tiered products based on storage, no thanks.

Each to their own, but now more than ever there are 2/3 real options on the smartphone front (more than ever) and right now IMO there's zero reason to join the WP7 platform.

 

[word_easy]

Hardly a deal breaker for me, if you want to carry around additional SD cards then fair enough, each to their own.
