@MI5 the Note 3 is currently £399 on Amazon for white 32gb sim free and £439 on GiffGaff (i presume locked there).

The price for Note 3 is falling everywhere except Carphone who recently upped is price from £529 to £659 for some reason.

You are very welcome @Cleoriff.

Those prices were as of last night online. Around £400 - £450 is becoming the norm.

Yes, they are quite competitive on price....
CPW pricing policy is most strange though ?

CPW? I think you have to know what phone you want and then watch over a period of time as they seem to move prices based on demand. Either that or they just make it up.

I think with the Note 4 given that Samsung are still selling the 3 at £549 i think sadly we are going to see £600+ at launch which is too high for me even if it looks awesome.
