    Good price as a similar offer in O2 (albeit with different Beats) is almost twice the price: http://www.o2online.ie/shop/view/product/ql_catalog/catdevice/HTCCOMBO?cm_sp=shop-_-christmas-_-HP-Banner%202

    If you bought it online you should be able to return it under distance selling regs and buy it again? Although the cost of returning it might wipe out most of the difference

    Or you never know, maybe if you chance your arm and ring them and point out you're going to do this, they might just refund you the difference, save themselves posting you out a new one.

    how much free call credit do you get with this offer ?

    "Special offer
    Switching your number to Vodafone? Get €20 off this price PLUS up to €120 free call credit."

    but it also says just above that you goet 20 euro , not 120 euro

    Wonder would this be a better phone than the Huaweii G330?

    No. The G330 is a much better phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    No, the Huawei G300 or G330 would both be much more powerful devices than the Desire C. In terms of of the feel of the phone's, there wouldn't be much in it (The Desire C is a nice looking and feeling device IMO) I would definitely get the Huawei though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    The Huawei is a far better phone. The Desire C, while not awful isn't a great phone for €129.

    True,it's far too small for my hands,I already have a Vodafone Smart & it's the same size which makes it tricky to use for fat fingers.

    Grand phone for kids & the free headphones are a bonus.

    Price reduced to €119 for today only as part of Vodafone 12 deals of Xmas promotion.

    I bought one of these for the misses and she hates it. Very slow and sluggish. It improve by flashing a custom rom but really wish I had got something else. I paid 180 for it at the time too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,650 ✭✭✭Munster Magic


    Anyone know if I go into O2 or meteor and get a sim card and then go to vodafone will I be able to get the €120 free credit or do I need to be with O2, meteor for a certain length of time?

    Yeah, unfortunately these only have a 600MHz processor (As opposed to 1GHz Dual Core in the Huawei G330), which is poor enough at this stage. In isolation the phone might be okay, but if you're used to anything faster at all, it would feel very sluggish alright..

    A sim in tesco is only 2.50 might be a better way to go.

    I was buying these earphones for my son in Argos for 119 and my other half is getting a new phone for xmas so this has saved me a fortune. I am draggin my partner into the world of touch screen phones at the min he is using a nokia 3220 so i dont think he will notice if the phone isnt as great as some other on offer.
