UK phone companies suck.....

Its been 8 months since I first went to buy a new K800i. I was ready to take a contract with O2 as thats the only way to get a new handset in UK. These suckers dont have a concept of you buying a fone alone like in india(first of all u will not get a latest model if it is available, it will be costlier than gold). U have to buy a contract or else forget abt it.

I was getting a really cool deal at phones4u before O2 sales people muddled up my credit card number and told me that I am not eligible to buy this fone for next 6 months.

I wanted a new handset really badly but I wanted K800i only. So, I waited till 6 months pass by or somebody gifts me this cool gadget. Off course I would have paid for my gift.

I wasnt lucky with my gift part. I went back to india thinking I will k790i there. It was 18000 odd there. I thought that could be option but then somebody told me that this model is poor cousin of k800i and as usual with my nature I was taken in to the talks. so I waited for 6 months ban to get over and trip back to UK. I came back to Uk last week and yesterday was the day when I went on my "buy the fone or dont come back home" trip.

Now the prices had come down and I was getting this one on 199 GBP. I was happy and was ready to shell out the money before phones4u decided to play the spoil sport again.

They told me that though this fone is available on 'pay as u go' offer but it is locked to O2 and if somebody tries to meddle up with lock, fone will crank down. They told me that this fone is available on contract and is unlocked in that. I can opt for that which I didnt. Issue was that I am in Uk only for two months and not 12. So, this contract will be overhead for me as this would cost me a cool 360 pounds for my fone. As usual, confusion took over mind and I caved into her. Decision was to postpone the decision for next week.

So, now I am back to old partner 2100 which has given me company since i joined my first job. Now, its difficult for somebody like me do-away with my "Firsts". I still remember first crush. (ye story fir kabhi), first t-shirt which I bought with my first salary, my first love....hold on when did that happen. ya...it hasnt happened yet and there are no hopes as well.


Moral is that I dont have K800i. I have my 2100 which I am going to recharge tomorrow.
