Yes, I'm looking to buy an iPhone... Nothing less than a 3GS of course. I've done a lot of digging and decided a brand new iphone 4 on contract or off contract is too expensive. Contracts lock me into high monthly payments no matter how good the up front price for the phone is. So I'm looking on eBay and found this little gem: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:AAQ:GB:1123
Its a 32GB iPhone 3GS for £250. Ticking all the right boxes for me, right memory, right type of iPhone, reasonable price and its unlocked. Do you guys reckon its a legit auction? I'm not a seasoned eBuyer and this person does have high feedback but I'm still wary. Also since its a buy it now or best offer auction I'm considering making an offer but jsut wondering how far back I should try. THinking of trying £150 but not sure if they would take that also not sure as to whether I'd end up being able to make a 2nd offer afterwards.
FInal problem is that my parents are going to HATE me for buying this :S. I'm supposed to be saving for university but I've been wanting a good smartphone for a while now and since I got my iPod last year I've found I love the iOS interface, bought a load of apps for it etc. this would entirely replace my iPod and mean I don't have to carry around 2 devices all the time. I'd also be able to sell my iPod 3rd Gen to make back a bit of what I'm spending. I still hate the horrible looks my parents give me when I consider spending large amounts of money though
What do yo guys think?
Final thing is to any UK users. You guys know much about GiffGaff? Once I've used up all my credit on my Orange PayG account (topped up £10 to try and get the Dolphin rewards for this month but it failed AGAIN so I ahve £20 credit left) I'm thinking of moving to it for cheap unlimited internet for £10 a month (along with unlimited texts and 250 free minutes). Never heard of them before today though so not sure how they are with signal etc.
