Feel free to send the tab my way then

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
Meh, I'm selling my One X too, that was also a "freebie" (in exchange for a £36 a month contract)
Hell, most contract phones are freebies these days. If it weren't for the tab, I could have got the phone about £250 cheaper elsewhere, so I'm sure CPW are still making a nice wad of profit.
Frankly I'd rather take the cash. Cash doesn't depreciate (as much).

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
Well they aren't exactly freebies as you are taking on a contract for a length of time and at a higher price than if it was just for the contract alone.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
Which applies as much to the tablet as it does the phone.
Never really needed the upgrade anyway, but the change of tariff to unlimited minutes is nice, I can stop worrying about the one or two months a year I go mad on phone calls...

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
Technicality not as the Tab was a free extra gift to the first 1,000 pre-orders.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
Yeah but the first pre-orders also cost more, so back to your original point, it's not exactly a freebie as I am taking on a contract for a length of time and at a higher price than if it was just for the phone.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
no they didn't. When I first registered for the offer I was getting the phone free at £36 a month and that was the same price after. The Tab was genuinely free. Thats why it was a really small amount available.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
When I registered for the offer it (and the price I paid) was £36 a month + £49 for the phone. A few hours later once all the tabs were gone it was £28 a month + free phone. A day or two so later other retailers had it at £25 a month + free phone + £80 cashback. By release day you could get the phone for £49 on a £21.50 a month contract.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
When the tab was first there I got £36 a month, free phone. Then after the tab offer that price was still there.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
That price was still there, but cheaper prices (i.e. £28 a month) also appeared.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
I got S3 this morning. Decide to get white ne instead of waiting for blue one. Its a good phone. Its hard getting to grips with Andriod after being on iOS for 3 years.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
You shouldn't clear processes on Android. It manages them automatically for you in the background.
