  1. hahahaha, a few weeks = 30 hours Good luck with the sale. I hope you can get as much as possible in order to get the 5.
  2. I must admit, I was very tempted by the Nexus 5. I'll wait.
  3. I think I'll go for the white 16gb. The 32gb is probably better value but I'll not need the extra storage. I love the ridiculous neon covers too, especially the yellow. I'd be happy with £160ish for my Nexus 4.

    How much is the N5 16GB going for?
  5. £299 without contract

  6. Aha. It's quite more expensive over here I think, something like 425€ without contract I think. I would never, ever, never, ever, pay a third (or even a half) of a month pay for a phone. No way. It's just against my principles. I guess I would think otherwise if I had a UK salary though
  7. It should be cheaper from Google Play. Expensive yes but due to me buying and selling I am never actually paying the full asking price. All depends on what I get for the Nexus 4. Needs to be more than half the cost of the Nexus 5.
  8. You pay that for the phone, which is actually extremely cheap for a high-end smartphone, and then get a SIM-only. I only pay £12.90 a month and I almost get unlimited everything apart from minutes. So really, it isn't that expensive after all.

    Same contract. Hi 5!

    True though about cost. £300 for the device + 24 months at £12.90 = £609.

    Taking the device for free and paying £30 per month for 2 years (which is cheap for a high end device on release and would probably have an up front cost too) = £720.

    So buying the phone outright can be cheaper plus you always have the flexibility of not being tied in to a lengthy contract aneimg able to upgrade as you please.
  10. Exactly. Even then, if you go into Carphone Warehouse – who are an absolute rip-off anyway – they charge £399 for the phone (the N4 that is) and will then subsequently charge you dozens a month. You'll end up paying nearly a grand by the end of it.

    I love being with Three and having a one-month rolling contract. I can cancel when I like, not that I'm going to do that any time soon. Yeah, Three have some network issues but I can get over it. The price satisfies me enough not to leave because of that. Talking of network issues, have you ever read the Facebook page when the service is down? It's hilarious. Full of people demanding compensation because they can't call or text for six hours. Total nutjobs.
  11. 13 bucks for an unlimited data+sms contract, holy shit Everything is much, much more expensive here - both smartphones and contracts. Everything technology-related is, actually. Computers, DSL/fibre service, phones, tablets, just about everything. Worse service and higher prices - it just doesn't make any sense. Another of the reasons why I want to move out of here asap.

    I've so far found the network to be grand but the company itself have been terrible on any occasion that I've had to contact them.
