Right mate, whatever price you get on the site, print out the specs and price then get on the phone to them and haggle, YOU WILL GET A DISCOUNT GUARANTEED!!!

Tell them they were selling the same spec a few weeks ago for less than £400 and you wish you had bought it then!!! Ask them what the best price is they can do or whether they can give you any upgrade for no extra cost. You will get somewhere, if not put the phone down and call back and speak to someone else, everyone gets cash knocked off or a free upgrade.

Also when it arrives phone up and complain that the outer casing is scratched and that you are not happy, you will get another lump sum off them as it is less hassle than them taking it back and sending you another!!!! And i do mean a lump sum, they normally give you your delivery costs back which I think is £60.

Just a few tips for you.
