It'd be good if you got that, with a free handset, for £18.75 a month.
Still a 2 year contract, what ever way you look at it!
Not bad tbh,.. Lets just go and see what I can do..
600 mins, unlimited text, 1gb data...
24 month contract, £15 a month for 12 months, £30 for 12 months.
12x15 - 180
12x30 - 360
£22.50/month
So, yours is way cheaper than vodafone :D
Im with tmobile though, and its not unlimited data, its 2 or 3gb iirc.
pretty good deal that tbh :thumb:
Cool. Gimmie a shout when u get it delivered.
youve not mentioned data and with android your going to use about 1gb a month how much is free and what are the charges for more than the free bit..
still seems a good deal my nexus one costs £30 month for 600 minutes unlimited texts and 1gb data and £5 for 500mb data after that

them half price offers are normally you have to pay the full amount then you have to claim it back
that how yours is ?

1gb per month ?? wtf?
Not here... In 3 months I've used a TOTAL of 868mb on wi-fi, and 154mb on mobile. That's 1gb in 3 months :P
I'd consider myself a moderate user of my desire, including some satnav.
well for example ive just been carp fishing and used it as a TV for 3 days and used about 1gb in 3 days. thats the extreme but any kind of streaming or podcasting over the length of a month takes it toll. I watch ****.tv on their app I have slingbox. i watch sky news on it. basically i use mine.. i have wifi at home and work and at m8s.. my totals must be 5gb wifi 1gd hsdpa.
yeah, streaming anything will kill your mobile usage ;)
Well Coiler, has it been delivered yet :D

yeah i wanna know too im going to get this phone for my birthday but i wanna hear what other people think first :p

Ive no comlaints especially since running the lag fix it just seems in a different class at times to the iphone 3gs i had.
Should be here today, being delivered to my P's, so will pick it up on way home :D :D :D
think I mightg give the gym a miss tonight (not been for 2 weeks with move anyhow OOOOOPS!)
defo give it a miss and play with your new toy. :D
Have you backed all your contacts up yet and set them up in google contacts? will make it alot easier when you sync your phone later.
all my numbers are on SIM and using my 8910 titanium at the mo, no internet so no google?
(might sell it once get the samsung)

get on app brain and get all your apps picked for when it arrives!

btw LOL at the 8910 i remember back in the day when phones had buttons and the screen from a calculator!
not that i would advocate you doing something in work that your not supposed too or anything but ;)
you'll need to make sure your contacts if they have more than 1 number don't end up with multiple entries.
to have them spot on you'll need to spend a little time sorting them anyway, once done back em up to your google contacts as make it easier in the future to update your phone.
Google contacts on your phone will link
Phone Number's
email
IM
facebook
Will update the contacts with there fb pic too.
can easily view your contacts fb pics against there contact too very handy without actually going into fb to view them...
Integrate's well imo
one thing that drove me mad is that irt puts all your contacts numbers in as home numbers not mobiles so you have to go through them ALL and change the to mobile phone..
might be worth looking at as you import them if there is a default setting or something
having had a android phone before (had the original t-mobile G1) I had all my contacts updated ever since inc on my iPhone as that allowed syncing with google too. so all mine were ok but still had a few to update too.
just a case of updating when I add a new contact now.

I didn't have this issue. I took all my contacts across via SIM and they all sorted themselves out nicely. It might be because my previous phone was also a Samsung though.
i'm confused!! LOL
if i just stick my sim in new samsung and choose copy to phone where does google come into this and what benefit does it offer :popcorn: :confused:
As the phone links with your google contacts it allows you to sync. Benefit being if you loose your phone you dont loose your contacts and the person finding it doesnt have your contacts either.
Once you get it you'll see what I mean.
the internet on home pc is even easier with galaxy than i though, no rooting etc
Simply go into settings and turn on "Wireless AP" it gives you a wireless key, then search for wireless device with pc.
Online in 2 minutes!

I'm thinking of getting a Galaxy myself, but what were you doing here - connecting your PC to the web via the Galaxy or connecting your Galaxy to the web via your wireless router?
I'd want to do the latter at home, but if I'm away I might well want to do the former.

The former, by the sounds of it - connecting PC to the web via mobile. Very handy with laptops when out and about. Of if you've just moved home and don't have home broadband yet, which I think is Coiler's situation.
you can do both, connect Galaxy to wireless router so your not on 3g at home, or you can use galaxy to get you online without a router at home! :D
So, it'll work as a "Mi-Fi" device, with multiple connections, or is it just for a single PC?
It must be doing NAT (network address translation) for it to work as a wireless hotspot, so in theory it should be able to do it for any number of PCs, unless they've intentionally crippled the software - in which case you'd need to root it and set up your own software.
Of course if you're planning to use it as a broadband replacement for a bunch of PCs you'll run into the phone operator's 'Fair Use' policies sooner rather than later - although they say 'Unlimited Internet' there's actually a limit of (depending on network) 0.5-1GB a month before they start wanting to charge you extra.
I'm only thinking of when as a family we're on our hols. The kids use their laptop for C-Beebies, Mrs' uses it for work and I use it for ... well, surfing. We sometimes have 3x laptops on, and I was thinking of getting a MiFi, but this sounds a much sounder proposition.
I wasn't thinking of using it at home :o

Yeah should work for that. And obviously in my above post I should have said 0.5-1TB not GB (1GB a month wouldn't get you far in these days of iplayer etc).
If you're watching a couple of hours of c-beebies a day though, you could hit the fair use caps. I believe that they usually send you an email/SMS when you're nearing the limit.
tmob on the £25 tarif give me 3gb allowance per month, so if i'm just browsing at home what I would have been doing on galaxy mob phone anyway I shouldn't go near that hopefully. Will be testing it out tonight, and may do a speedtest LOL
3GB should be plenty - I'm used to 100Mb at the moment on my Orange pay-as-you-go
This deal still on? I can see T-mobile text 600, does that come with data or not?
i wouldnt get a contract for 2 years! your better off paying more and having a shorter contract. in 6 moths the phone will be old in 2 years it will be shocking.
Well, you can either pay £450 in line rental with a free phone, split into manageable chunks OR pay £400 odd in one lump for the same phone, plus then paying for the calls on top at, say £10 a month, which is another £240 - so you end up paying £640 ...
As the yanks are so often saying ... "Do the math!"
