premature me thinks, if true best deal of the day
talking to yourself?
this was in the ponders end store.
Are you blind? Look on the first page on this post...
This phone is being discontinued to allow the G600 (I think), to be launched, this would make complete sense, and this is obviously a genuine deal. Can't believe so many are quick to moan when someone takes the time to post a deal allowing others the opportunity to get in on it. It's not their fault this is a deal to get rid of the last few items!
Some guy ringing up random Tesco stores and speaking to CS desks probably fed up to the back teeth of taking HUKD-related calls feigning ignorance just to make him go away does not equal Tesco's official word on the deal X)
And just in case the previous image of the SEL isn't proof enough for your discerning tastes, seeing as you asked so nicely, here's a receipt (albeit refunded, but that's another story):

I think there's a new G330.
Wow £20 for an Orange Rio - HOT
Thanks for posting OP, and ignore all the negative comments, you just can't please some people.
Canadian's with bb's who like obese UK cousins. Well I never. :O
PRO TIP: If you ask them to have a look in the back for stock they'll have a half-hearted glance for you...
...but take a ticket through the self-serve and pay and they'll have a proper rummage... they even got the supervisor down on this occasion.
Its effectively a smartphone for £45
Not everyone aspires to have an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy thingy!
That's all the detail you're gonna give? oO

Bloody good phone, rooted and updated within 30 minutes!
Son no2 is happy, I'm happy! Got him on a cheap orange deal that works out around £5.70 a month.
Used these guys for unlock code, Unlock Fusion with ebay item no. 190676073415, it's 10p cheaper now!
They processed the code within a couple of hours so can't complain at all, even at 21.37 at night.
Oh, don't forget your quidco for ebay purchases, every little helps
You do realise you can use ANY mp3 as a ringtone?
Sorry.
that's funny, I spoke to about a dozen different stores, and they all acknowledged the deal and the price, but all were out of stock because "we're changing stock lines"
a couple people got lucky, got a great phone for a great price, so good luck to them :o)
San Francisco is nowhere near this phone, they're barely comparable. iPhone 4 has better camera is more well built than the G300, but other than that they're not too dissimilar. iPhone's are more desirable than G300 obviously.

It's funny how competitive some people get when their deals don't get heat. There are no prizes for hot or cold deals so just post them if you find them and ignore the comments posted by people with a mental age of 10 or under. Simples.
I disagree.
The look and feel of this phone is so much better than the OSF. The screen size alone makes this phone far better but better battery life and a far faster processor knocks it's socks off. I have this upgraded to ICS which got rid of all the Vodaphone bloatware.
Now is the time to replace the OSF and this phone fits the bill.
Edit: To add I'm on an unofficial ROM.

You're off mark with the leeching comment - I can actually understand why some people will refrain from posting potentially good deals on here because of the idiots who give a slating if they can't find local stock. There really is no need for some of the childish comments that get posted. Good effort OP and cracking price for anybody who got one (_;)
I find class 4 perfectly adequate. In my other g300.
sound like sour grapes to me.
if you read the post's more than 3 people have got this phone for £60 or less.
This post is what hotdeals is all about, people helping each other.
& believe it or not customer services often get things wrong.
