With the variety of monthly charges vs handset prices the only true picture is by looking at the cost over 12 or 18 months for what you need If the handset cost really is ~ £600 is ~£33 pcm subsidy over 18 months If they sell it for £300 but it costs £600 then that's 300 up front + ~£17 pcm subsidy over 18 months.. It's the same with all the other free gifts of xboxes, PSPs yet. If you wanted a PSP and xbox, + a cheap phone then some of those deals can make sense, but often you dont! And the whole "free upgrade" thing is a laugh. If you phone your provider (at least say 3 or O2) they may well give you a credit for not taking a handset AND a monthly fee reduction. Last renewal with O2 I got a basic package (50 mins / 200 textx) for a net cost of £9 over the 12 month contract period.. I’m sure this is telling you to how to suck eggs, but for other readers.
