I was about to click "buy" when Julie suggested I try a few other sites, to see if any were better. So I did a quick search and was amazed to see Expansys had it for £340. I think I just about broke my fingers clicking buy on that, as it was beyond a bargain.
And, indeed, it was too good to be true. An hour after arriving at work I noticed the order was "pending additional information", and an hour later I received an email from them telling me that the order was in error, but they'd let me have it for £399, which was still a saving of £50 over their "actual" price. But not a saving over Amazon, who hadn't pissed me off with silly mistakes, and thus got my cash.
In any case, the new phone should arrive tomorrow (better than the three days Expansys were promising), and I have the day booked off to recover from
erindubitably and marrog's legally binding ceremony of togetherness, so I can spend it playing with new tech****.*Because I wanted an open phone that didn't have any manufacturer or carrier overlays/software installed on it.
