Razr - TMobile -UK

Hi,

I'm in the UK and pretty much set on getting a Razr to replace my Nexus One but am not sure where to buy from.
Options are:
1. Buy outright
2. Take Tesco's offer on TMobile

The TMobile option would work out, approx, £150 cheaper over 2 years (inclusive mins etc versus PAYG on 3).

I'm not keen on "bloatware" - my Nexus was simfree from Google.

Has anyone any thoughts? How much does the TMo (UK) bloatware annoy/detract? Is it worth £150?
Please assume that I won't be rooting.

Thanks.


Buy outright of you can, then no carrier bloat of any type and means updates via motorola instead of waiting for carriers.

means you could sell in a year if you want and make that £150 or more back to a newer phone

Do you alreayd have a contract with any other ptovider? If not, take the T-Mobile offer. It will give you a data and minute plan. If you already have a plan with someone else, just get the Razr from Clove or whoever has it cheapest.

P.S. Before you decide o get it on T-Mobile, make sure you have either Orange or T-Mobile coverage in your area - they share their networks.

What kind of price plan do you have with that deal and how long is the contract?

i have that deal and you get the phone free on a 2 year contract
300 minutes
300 tesxts
500mb data allowance
unlimited internet

However the phone i got does have a micro sim have not seen the deal that includes a sim free phone !

i used to have a contract with a lot more minutes/ texts but found never used them so this for me is about right.

heres the link :D

Although the RAZR isn't currently available on t-mobile uk, I have found a way to upgrade my existing t-mobile Desire to a RAZR.

T-Mobile use a company called Chitter Chatter to provide a wider range of handsets to their existing customers. It took the threat to leave them and then take up the Tesco offer, which ironically would see me returning to them.

As a t-mobile customer you can go to Chitter Chatter direct and they will handle the upgrade process.

Current offer is a free RAZR on a
