Default PHONES PURCHSED FROM Mobiles.co.uk

Hi all,

I have recieved my phone from mobiles.co.uk finaly who initially advertised the I9000 as the 16gb version... This is incorrect and have since changed their website to 8gb..

I have been in contact with mobiles.co.uk who have tried to send me an 8gb memory to make up the difference. Like probably most of us here we already have 8gb memory cards so this is useless but may be useful to you.

I would advise that anybody who has purchased the Samsung Galaxy S from mobiles.co.uk as the 16gb version, to double check and you'll probably find its the 8 and if you want to return it.. do so before the return policy runs out and goto vodaphone for the 16.

I am curious how many people they have done this too!!!

Hi, I bought mine from Mobiles.co.uk, and yes it was advertised as 16g, but it was also advertised as having an LED Flash at one point. But being realistic I never expected to get a 16G version since Vodafone announced a UK exclusive on it. Mobiles corrected this as soon as they got them. I didnt bother asking for an 8 gig card, as you say, we mostly already have them.

You are fully entitled to send it back, and get one from Vodafone, but it will be locked, and likely Vodafone branded with the red dog turd. So I'm happy with my 8G version, and its hardly a limitation given we can add another 32G in the SDHC slot.

I guess its a question of weither you feel cheated or hard done by, or weither you shrug it off as an easy oversight in today's world where a new gadget arrives every week.

Thats exactly it.. but would rather be given the choice than realise when its too late and cant send it back.. Vodafone offer it for £35pm and dont give the half price offer neither which would pay for the SD card..

Just a note to people... thats all.
