Very happy with new deal-Samsung Galaxy S2

[Tricky Trevor]

For some time now I've been fed up with Windows 6.5 on my HTC HD2 and have been wanting to change my phone but it's been a long wait for my £30 contract to expire at the end of January 2012.

So I was very suprised to get a call from Virgin mobile offering me a downgrade on my tarriff and a new phone.

So tomorrow I will be having a Samsung Galaxy S2 delivered on what the advisor said is an offer for today only for £22.95,300 mins,Unlimited texts and 1gb data. I'm quite chuffed with this offer as it is £40.99 on the Virgin Media website.

If you fancy a play you can install various versions of Gingerbread Android on the HTC HD2 very easily . It can also run Windows phone 7. So once you are happy with the SGII it might be worth having a play :-) The HTC HD2 is one of the best most versatile smartphones ever released

My contract is up on Feb 14th 2012 and I have been told I cant upgrade yet.

Was your phone at the end of its contract and if so how long before it was up did they offer you it.

Im torn between the SII and the iphone. SII is winning at the minute as the mrs and other family members are on virgin, free calls from the house phone too and the fact that the SII can play .mkv and .avi files. Records in 1080p too and the camera is 8MP, to match it I would have to get the iphone 4S and we all know its alot more expensive.

I was out of contract. I got it by just walking into one of the shops. It's an offer available to any customer with XL landline phone package (who hasn't already taken the £8 mobile discount already). If you are on M or L phone you get £5 off so can get it for £25.99

Had planned to keep my Desire and downgrade to a SIM only tariff until after the Android 4.0 launch event but got impatient

As a bit of a "thickie" where mobiles are concerned, how do you get all the stuff (pictures, music, videos etc) transferred to your new phone? oh, and the email settings!

Sorry, only just saw this post. It's 16GB with the ability to add another 32GB via an micro-SD card

I have also got the same £22.99 deal and think it is great value for money. The phone is awesome! I previously had the Nokia N900 which I did like a lot but this thing is brilliant!

All you need to know should be in the user manual that did not come with the phone

Virgin don't do any inclusive WiFi on any tariff

You get 1GB worth of internet with the £22.99 deal thought (and can upgrade to 5GB for an extra £5 a month if you want)
