E72 unlocked for €199

forbairt

I'm in the market for a phone and was doing some checking and quite liking the E72 so debating buying it

http://www.maxroam.com/Shop/Product/Detail.aspx?ProductId=770

Its €199 and unlocked with MaxRoam ... and its €319.99 online with Vodafone prepay ...

donmeister

Anyone use this site before? They have a Samsung Jet for €99 unlocked, surely thats too good to be true?

baz15

Just wondering would the samsung jet work on the 3 network?

Bit more for me at moment in Madrid at 50 quid .. and probably no idea when it would arrive either given the "weather"

Thanks Pat,

Is it possible to order online and collect from your offices at
Western Business Park, Dublin 12 ?

Maxroam: Pat

Sorry, this is not available at present
Good idea though, we will take it onboard.

Davy

Im presume these are EU handsets pat?

You were very quick to spot the thread i must say

That gets a BIG from me.

Bit strange that "maxoam" just joins as something is posted about their site, and also that they spelled their own username wrong??

That said, I'm tempted by the Jet but I'm a bit weary since I can't find feedback anywhere online.

Maxroam: Pat

All our phones are neverlocked
European and will work on any network worldwide

Maxroam: Pat

I am sure that Darragh will highly recommend me :-)
Forbairt left me know that he had mentioned us here, my personal profile is here @patphelan and http://patphelan.net
last thing I would do is astrosurfing and yes I am a dope for spelling the name wrong, LOL

Me too, but the €35 shipping fee / lack of collection facility is a deal breaker for me

I mentioned it to Pat (http://patphelan.net/) on twitter (http://twitter.com/patphelan) as I saw a few questions on here.

Please note I'm not associated with them at all ... just saw the offer earlier on and was wondering about the price difference between them and vodafone

Seems fishy tbh, doubt maxoam is even their rep. Glad to be proven wrong though ^_^

Maxroam: Pat

presume my reply above should give you comfort
heres my mobile <Mod Snip> should you have any further doubts
scanning my birth cert next :-)

chavezychavez

You might want to remove that mobile no ASAP.

Must say that €199 for SIM free E72 is great value regardless of delivery charge

00sully

yeah and €360 for the x10?? :eek:

http://www.maxroam.com/Shop/Product/Detail.aspx?ProductId=774

surely not

Guys, Pat Phelan is one of the heroes of Irish telecoms. Very decent guy, happy to have him on the site and have never seen any suggestion that what he says is true is otherwise.

Name misspelling aside, this is just a really good deal from a good company that I'm a customer of myself.

shuyin1

Someone take the plunge and report back hehe Costs ~€20 and 2 days from france to irl.Assuming the €35 express charge is what it implies,would it be received tomorrow if ordered in the morning of today?

I'm happy to assert that it is not dodgy and that Pat is the real deal

Maxroam: Pat

Cheers Darragh
really appreciate that
Good to be here at last, sorry its taken us so long
I will work on special Irish dispatch prices tomorrow morning, got to look after our own.

baldshin

Hmmm maybe I should order that Jet now so before they sell out!

Hi, i'm interested in purchasing the samsung jet now. Would I be better off waiting for tomorrow if you're going to arrange something in the morning?

Cheers.

Just wondering does anyone on here own a samsung jet and how would they rate it as a phone?

From the specs "Main Display Resolution: 480 x 800 pixels Color AMOLED Touchscreen", easily justfiable @99 little ones.

youcancallmeal

Its a pity there is no collection available seeing as I'm 5 min drive from Western Business Park. Would be interested in the Xperia X10

now I'm confused - I thought the smallest internal memory was 8gb?

am i not right in thinking there are two models one with 2gb and one with 8gb, remember your talking european models here.

Bah.. already have an iPhone 2G that's working just fine (albeit over 2 years old).

But very tempted to pick up the E72 for when my iPhone inevitably "gives up the ghost" as I refuse to pay the extortionate price that O2 (or whatever carrier gets the new iPhone 4G) will inevitably charge for it.

If "maxoam" can sort out cheaper shipping.. think I might give it a purchase!

cruizer22b

Some websites have a stats page that also shows up any links or mention of the url or company name on the net. Could be that.

My Jet only has 2gb of internal.. upgradable via microSD.

Its a good phone with a great screen and very good camera too. Especially considering it's €99 +shipping.

Just make sure you update the firmware to the latest one.

I'm the same. I've a 5800 at the moment but this is a very tempting offer. Will be checking back in tomorrow morning.

That's right Neonitrix! Two models exist.

coldfire1x

Hi Pat,

Any chance of getting an E75, if so how much?
