Should i buy from CPW?

I don't like the fact you deal with them instead of the carrier. When I go into the stores they seem more interested in either flirting with each other or hiding behind paper work and pretending they havn't seen me.

I've been with them before but that was a few years ago now, I can't even remember what they were like. I've avoided them since but I can't remember why I hated them so much.

Sorry that isn't very helpful is it o_O

It's a simple equation:
a) Buying handset from the Carrier = branded phone + waiting ages for updates + added bloatware;
b) Buying handset from retailer = unbranded device + dealing with sometimes crappy customer service (which can be dealt with if you're not a puss over the phone).

I'd go for option 'b' any time. So yes, in my opinion getting the handset from CPW is a good choice. Just make sure that you'll get all the details on the agreement, i.e. Minutes, TXT's and data allowance.

When I bought my mobiles from CPW, its always unlocked. That is one thing I like. Does anyone have any experience with T-mobile? They have the stocks online but I am not sure if the phone is loocked to them. I would like to buy a phone which is unlocked. I don't care if its a 2 year contract, as long as its unlocked.
