Keep getting calls off people saying that I can have a phone upgrade. I'm with Orange but the people that are ringing me aren't calling from Orange. One of them said he was calling from the phone supplier  Anyway I ignore them as like to do everything through Orange then I know its all legit 
Signed into my Orange account and can get basically any phone I want for free because of the tariff I'm on.
I like Nokias, dont want anything else. Quite like the 6280 but its not out yet so gonna wait a few weeks then get it. Is there any other Nokias I should wait for instead?
Is there any catch with upgrading my phone now as contract is due for renewal in November?
Thanks

Or are there any particular phones that I could sell on Ebay and get a nice wad of cash to buy the Nokia I want plus a bit of profit left over?
Are there any catches in doing that? Its legal to do I presume

I've got an N70 and it's spot on, no complaints at all.

I have to agree the N70 is a top quality phone few of my friends have them and my dad is getting one soon

I like Nokias. Always had them and like the design of them and never really had any trouble with them so like to stick to them.
Will keep an eye out for the N91

I get them as well, I either keep them on the phone and waste their time or ask them difficult legal questions about how they got my details.
I buy my phones from Orange direct.

They are a pain. Dont understand how they can offer me phones when I deal directly through Orange?
Makes me think there must be some sort of catch.
The last call I got was yesterday and it was off a normal mobile number? seemed dodgy

If they insist on still trying, just respond to everything they say with "cactus".

I got the N90, its a bit chunky to say the least but i got over that pretty quickly and absolutely love the phone. Its amazing for taking spy shots too cos if you tilt the screen a tiny bit when in normal mode it goes to camera mode, and you can tilt the camera around to wherever when it looks like you are writing a text
