I have just rang 3 to report my k800 as being faulty...got thro to an idian call centre (oh the joy) and insisted that it would go for repair. Now am i right in saying that im entitled to a new phone when its only 6 months old and still under manufacturers warranty?

Did you read what I just said 
Warranty is for a repair
Nowhere does it say "We'll swap your phone if its faulty"
And its not 12 months, its 24
It'll only be away a few days, which is far better than any of the other networks turnaround on a standard warranty job

They're not required to exchange the handset if a repair rectifies the fault.

our repair centre is approx 7days turnaround sometimes we get them back 3days later but average is 7.
makes me laugh how many people demand a new phone when their 9month old batterd fucked phone has stopped ringing. its like taking your 3year old 30k astra to a dealership demandingg a new car cos your electric windows stopped working.
warenty on repair not replacement and to add to this its technically the manafactuers responsibility not the networks!

so go somewhere else, its no secret you dont get as good-er deal when you upgrade. You dont have to settle for it.

12 months int a 12 or 18 month contract?
There isn't really a better phone out at the moment from Sony, K810 is out this month though
