lol

just something to note though is that i noticed on the website that in at least 3's case, the more expensive tariffs might get you more off the price of the laptop, but don't actually give you anythin more in the tariff, which ends up in a rather rubbish deal really

however, if you can, try to stretch to the £35 a month 18 month 3 tariff, as although it'll cost you 90 quid more over the course of the contract for the same 3GB a month, you'll get another 150 quid off the laptop, which will mean you're £60 better off by the time the contract finishes

that to me seems like the best deal (and i think is pretty similar to the ones you mentioned in your first post). just make sure you choose a laptop that costs at least the amount of money you're gonna get taken off, otherwise it starts benefitting them more than you

ah, and as usual make sure you pick a decent laptop and don't let the salesman force you into buying what he wants you too (and i would reccomend going away and thinking about anything you're about to put 18 months of your money into, inlcuding reading reviews, before shaking hands)

I couldn't agree more

I tend to check things out for quite sometime before parting with my hard-earned!!

most likely because they cost a fortune

Dell do a few laptops where the broadband card is built in ... however they are partnered with Vodafone ... but Im sure you could stick in a three or t-mo sim too.

from that page it looks like they want you to sign up to a contract at time of purcahse, which completely eradicates any use of other networks unless you're very good at manipulating the 14-day rule (which would nigh-on be over by the time dell actually deliver)
