I was considering a S700i, but it seems most places have stopped
offering it. Anyone know if its likely to come back? Anyone seen any
good deals on it anywhere?

Hi,

Try http://www.buymobilephones.net/ for O2 deals.

Best regards

Hi there, I got mine a week ago and Im very very happy with it! Gorgeous
phone. I did have a k700 but after Orange tariff issues (and being misled
when I initially signed up - thanks Phones4U...) I have decided to downgrade
that one..

I went into O2 but their tariffs werent really inspiring me as I tend to
send a lot of texts, and O2 online werent offering it. Plus I was really
reluctant to go back to the O2 network... not had much fun in the past.

So I popped into the Vodafone shop, entirely new experience for me really -
actually going in there with a view to being on Voda :) Anyhow, as soon as
I walked in I was remarkably impressed. They were extremely helpful and
really did try to find my perfect fit as they advertised. In the end I
wound up on an 18 month contract, the first six months at Ł12.50 (which
nicely balances the fact I have that other contract in the background with
Orange), then Ł25 thereafter. 200 anytime mins and 250 texts a month for as
long as I keep the contract.

A good deal for me, but it is an old tariff so they messed around a bit to
get me it. The new ones with the Stop the clock offer also seem very very
good. I paid Ł30 for the phone.

One thing I will say is that Vodafone dont want you to use mp3 ringtones
for some reason, but rather the ones you download off their site. You can
get around this easily by downloading DRM Packager and converting your
mp3s to the protected filetype.

Hope this helps...

For what its worth, Ive also heard that some were experiencing lots of
problems with the S700. I was told in Voda that the problems were fixed
now, and sure enough I havent got anything to report!
