Summary

I was impressed with Angela in the Carphone Warehouse store: she made a good recommendation, gave a demonstration and showed me a handset with a very good saving.

Suraj at the Vodafone store didn’t have a clue about the best handset to recommend and told me to call customer services. Other stores were helpful but just couldn’t deliver on my needs. If you are looking for a good handset with sat-nav, at a great saving, I would recommend customers visit the Carphone Warehouse in Nottingham.
