Found out I was due an upgrade today for my mobile phone contract so went to the nearest O2 shop to see what I could haggle out of them.
Now, I'm only on a cheap contract so expected to have to haggle hard but didn't think it would be a problem with the phone bill I had last month (through the roof is an understatement).
Anyway, only phone they had on their website I was interested in was the Tocco so asked about that one. Bloke told me the only way I could get it free was on a £75 a month contract (otherwise £99 on my tariff)! I had a quick scan on the Orange site earlier and they were doing it for free on £30. Guy kept wandering off to do other things too while he was meant to be serving me. I asked him if I'd get a better deal if I phoned O2. He told me no. I gave it a go anyway. Guy on the other end basically told me Tocco is out of stock and don't know how long for and tried to talk me into other tariffs and phones I had no interest in. Same for the Nokia N95 and SE C902. Only decent phones I would have considered.
Straight to Phones4U. Guy offered me a Tocco for free, gave me a demonstration, half price memory card and 2 months free insurance! All on the same tariff. :Clap:
Got to say O2 disappointed me (even says those phones I was told are out of stock are in stock online) but Phones4U were fantastic! Deffo going there again for my next upgrade.
