sobriqueAnyone got recent experience of buying a mobile handset (or PDA or similar) online?
I'm thinking that as my contract renewal cycle is up with my phone provider, I might buy a handset, and go for an absurdly cheap and ludicrously good contract, rather than going for an 'upgrade' deal.
And that way I don't get their 'branding' built into the handset, which is usually the first thing to go when I get it.
My current thinking is that the HTC Desire looks a strong contender, and is due for release in a week or so.
Handtec look to be about the best price:
