Deal: £659 upfront on a 1 month EE contract at £13.99 (or Vodafone at £14.50). Go through Quidco and get cashback (currently tracking at £50 for me, with maybe another £25 to come + £15 as I registered as a new customer - still waiting for confirmation on all that, of course). Get someone to refer you to Quidco and you can take another £10.
SIM only gives you 250 / 500Mb, but just go to Unshackled and grab yourself one (or use your current one).
I have done this and £50 it is already tracking through Quidco after about 30 mins .
So - should make this £572.99 after cashback paid!
BAR-GAIN!

Wonder how many of these will sell? Looks so dated already.

And it'll look pretty much the same in a few years, working perfectly and still worth a lot of money. Yours will probably have given up the ghost and be worth next to nothing. My wife's still using an iPhone 4 after 5 or 6 years; you'd think it was a new phone, to look at it or use it.

For one you have no idea what kind of phone I own and two, iPhones resale is no better than other flagships any more. Too many people thinking the future will continue to be like the past, life just isn't like that. You do know the updated screen in the new IPhone X are made by Samsung right? Even Apple have acknowledged the superior quality of Samsung OLED.

First part I agree with, although Sony seem to be trying to remain in the past (although I kind of like the design). Resale is a difficult topic as LG and to some extent Samsung phones tend to drop a couple of £100 below the original rrp after a few months which does affect resale.
The last part less so, I don't think Apple have at any point in time stated that Samsung oleds are better than anything else (other than maybe older iPhone displays). It boils down to them needing Samsung due to the limited production capabilities of other brands (although Apple investing in LG's oled business may change this in the future).
I also agree with iOS being in need of a revamp, but I am relatively new (around 10 months total use) to iOS (I tend to switch phones every 6 months), so am not bored with it yet, although equally a large portion don't want it to change. I also liked windows phone, minus the lack of apps (If they improved it and built a 1020 with bettter audio, battery and such, I would go back(shame it is dead)).
P.s apologies for any mistakes, even a 7 plus is too small for me to type on.
Although this is a good deal to me, providing the cash back doesn't get declined( although then again, it is still just below the rrp)

Where did you get £100 from? You can't just add sign up bonuses to the amount of cashback and as you said it only tracked at £50 - have you even enquired if it's eligible for the £75? Misleading title

It's eligible for the £75 plus sign up bonus, plus referral, too. So... £100. But, to be fair, even at £659-£50+£13.99 it's still a BAR-GAIN!

Registered as a new customer to what? Quidco or carphone warehouse?
Also could you pay the up front cost on credit card or did it need to be by direct debit?

OK - just got two order updates: 8:54pm - "Order accepted and successfully processed" 8:56pm - "Unfortunately, on this occasion we have been unable to continue with your request for a purchase and the order has now been cancelled."
WTF? I'll call the customer service team tomorrow...

Update: Called CWH today. They told me to reorder. Done and all gone through smoothly this time. :smile: Cash back tracking at £50 as before but will (hopefully) track higher once progressed.

It took Courage to keep the design the same for 4 years running. :grin:

i thought the 8 has glass back instead of metal. it's too early to jump to conclusions before you see it in person.

It does compared to even their own iPhone X. It's an odd lineup now as they have the 7 so why bother going to the 8 ? Isn't the phone what in the past would have been a 7S?
