Simon,

I am amazed how consistently negative your posts are. This is THE first time M have done any form of trade-in on this scale. You and several others have gone from simply moaning about the upgrades to moaning that the trade-in just isn't good enough for you. You obviously missed the intro of the G series just weeks/days after many of us rushed into limited runs of 5xx upgrades.

This time we have at least some offering and yet it's just not good enough.

Honestly what do you really expect here ?

As for the UK/US difference.....The currency swings we have seen in the last 2-3 years have been enough to make or lose loads for any company.
The prices have never equated and for years the US prices looked great vs UK. Win some;lose some....it happens.

Ill conceived and dreamed up over lunch ? That's cute.

Something here is ill conceived and I don't think it's the trade-in deal.



Rgds,
Nick
