HTC Desire HD Free On Vodafone Deal Phone Reviews

They are part of CPW so probably in the same boat as Mobiles.co.uk who state stock being received today.

I'm still not holding my breath though

 

[AstralZero]

Just got a call from CPW offering me a "deal". Said if I went with it i'd have the phone by Monday...

Think ill stick with my MPD order.. I'm a bit sceptical about going through CPW, they don't have the best reputation.

 

[gabbyevs]

interesting though they do state on their website the 19th so maybe they have got it

If the rumors are true, here are the first pics from Netherlands' Desire HD owners.

Since just about every site now is singing from the same him sheet of the 19th, I can honestly think thats the despatch date

Just got a call from CPW offering me a "deal". Said if I went with it i'd have the phone by Monday...

Since CPW has been in business, i've never actually bought a phone in store from them. Only dealings with CPW I have had really is mobiles.co.uk and they appear to be ok although its a ballache getting through to customer services.

interesting though they do state on their website the 19th so maybe they have got it

See my comment above.

Anyone noticed the MPD no longer have O2 as a network for the DHD?

I really want to get it on O2, Orange signal is awful at my house and had bad experience of Vodamoan a few years back.

CPW might be my only option, though they have yet to show it with O2 after initial reports stated they would have it.
Unfortunately present funding is ruling out Sim free option for me.

Hi Diesyl,

No I hadn't to be quite honest..I know O2 wouldn't officially be stocking them due to "business reasons"..

If you really are desperate for O2

HERE

Filter it to O2..some deals there.

Whats T-Mobile's signal like around your area?...Considering you can hop between T-Mobile and Orange, maybe worth looking into?

Hope the above helps

 

[gabbyevs]

funny how o2 have disappeared off mpd-what happened to people who alreadyhad ordered it?

ot- 100 posts yay lol

 

[Diesyl]

Thanks for the replies.

Not sure about T-Mobile, might try to get a free sim and try it. Though i would like to stay with O2, family etc use it and coverage is good here. And no problems like some peps have had.
I had considered GiffGaff and sim free, but a looming wedding has sucked up all my spare money...
If I go to a third party seller, would my service be O2 direct or with the 3rd party? ( like CPW used to be with O2, but i believe its now direct through them.)
I would like to just upgrade instead of new contract.

Cheers

I can only assume that there isn't any money to be on the 3rd parties side as there is no subsidiary money from O2.

To the 500 posts now

T-Mobile Coverage Checker

GiffGaff is O2 and so is Tesco who both appear to have good sim only deals

If you bought it off a 3rd party dealer (Example, MPD, CPW, Mobiles.co.uk, etc)..all your billing queries and stuff like that is with the network operator.

All a 3rd party is doing really is signing you up to network x on behalf of network x.

Faulty handset you would go to the place you got it from (IE MPD, CPW, etc) but all billing is the network operator.

Any further questions feel free to ask

he refers to their partner expansys and says, that we can check the release date on their site, which makes me think that he only googled it up because he doesnt know the date himself.

I will add this into the news section of the mega thread along with a price refresh

EDIT:

Translated to english
