    I want to get a 6680 phone. I always said i'd never spend over 200 on a phone but i just can't help myself with this one and that €100 deal from vodafone it is too good a deal to pass up. Problem is that the offer is up this Sunday (31st of July). But I can't see them putting the price of the phones back up, the only way they'll go is down. But it's a bit of a risk. So what do people reckon, should I wait till till next week or buy now. It could also be the case that they will extend the offer for another month. I realise 3 are also coming into the equation but I don't think i really want to go to another network.

    buy the phone dont open the box

    Would this work, ie would the customer be entitled to a refund?
    Excellent idea if it is possible

    Depends on how long they keep it for before returning I suppose...

    No, changeing your mind is not an acceptable reason tfor a refund, its up to the shop however whether they give you one or not.

    Just bought the 6680 and it's taking my best not to give into the temptation of opening it. Went into a few shops before I bought it to inquire about the special offer. One told me that there was no offer replacing it, another said that they're would be but they had no details of the offer while a third hinted that the €100 reduction would be replaced by a free bluetooth headset. But i don't know what to believe. Any insiders out that would let me know.

    Well a bluetooth headset wouldn't be worth 100e anyway so I'd keep the phone.

    Well, couldn't bloody wait. I opened up there round 5. Absolutely amazing phone. Just praying now it doesn't come significantly down in price or i'll be very very annoyed.

    The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
