I got the graphite for freeeee. On a 12 month contract and am paying 30 pounds a month. Boooooyaaaaa. The benifits of having a friend working at orange.

This phone is awesome. Just installed the snes emulator and playing street fighter and super mario!

Ended up ordering a brown one from Handtec as just about the only place I could find selling them. Say ‘pre ordering’ for release some time in Q3 so a bit surprised when I then got an email within an hour saying it had been shipped on next day delivery. So new toy tomorrow hopefully!!!

Expansys have:

HTC Hero + T-Mobile Combi 30 + Web N Walk

for 34.26 monthly for 12 months + 79.99. That makes it just over 491.11 for the year in total which is only then about 100 more than just the phone.

If only they had the brown or the graphite as not keen on the white.

As it’s 18 months, taking the ‘free’ phone at £40/month will cost £720. However, that also gets you 18 months of phone connection and data access.

You could buy the phone for less than that, but you’d still need to get your phone connection somewhere and I’ve not seen any places that will do a suitable tariff for less than £20/month, which would end up costing you £790 anyway.

I imagine T-Mobile will have some cheaper tariffs that will cost a little less overall but will require you to pay more upfront for the phone.

For instance, by comparing the price of the Blackberry Bold (which currently costs £30 if you get an 18-month £40/month Flex tariff, and £215 if you get a £20/month Combi tariff), I’d estimate that if you go for a £20/month Combi tariff you’ll have to pay in the order of £185 for the handset up front, leaving you with an 18-month total cost of £545 for handset and contract.
