i'm saving for a P800 right and i thought i might as well wait for the gray one .. any idea when it will be released ? soon i hope ..

There's already one available for purchase $800USD. I don't have the link, but do a search on this forum and you'll find the original post. You could just buy the grey case for it you know and not spend money on another unit.

Ah yes, but where to buy the grey case?

Far as I can tell, you can't even get spare parts (such as new flips) reliably here in the UK.

well im not gonna spend money on "another" one cuz i dont have one to begin with .. ill just wait for the gray one to come out, dont wanna change casings .. also want to get one locally (Bahrain) so id have warranty on it ..

Still waiting....

Don't understand why it takes so long for casting the same case just in a different colour. Is that kind of plastic really that hard to buy? :evil:

chees you guys.. just rip off the cover, whip out a solid black/silver/gray spray can and paint away. 😉

I emailed Sony Ericsson and this is what I got:

Thank you for contacting SonyEricsson Customer Care Center.

Regarding your question ,Gray P800 is not going to be available in Middle East Market.

Best regards,

What is the SE theory of marketing? I really don't know what they relate a phone colour to geographical locations! 😮

I thought the Grey ones were the P802 i.e. the Chinese language version.

Grey P800 was released in Hong Kong yesterday!

I went to Mongkok today and saw some shops display official Grey P800 along with its blue sibling. My first impression was that the grey one was a bit dull and the undercoat paint did not reflect too much metallic shine as the blue one. It is much more 'understated' in appearance. :black:

Got a response from SE Sweden today saying that the Grey P800 would be out here somewere at the end of Q2. Does anybody have any further info?

Anyone knows wether it will be possible to change from blue to grey cover?

Yes that is possible, and here in Hong Kong, the grey P800 is not officially out yet. But I am waiting for the service centers to get stock of the covers.

Wow!!!! Looks pretty real, but it seems highly unlikely that a 256MB exists (or that the p800 supports it) :robot:

don't understand how nokia just came out w/ the 3650 in the us (bought one for my girlfriend's bday) with a fushia case sold seperatly! whats going on w/ SE. I want a yellow one, isn't it a standart colour for most sony products!

It's officially launched in Hong Kong but I don't think I like it. It's dull and look muddy. The grey color is too close with the silver on the side.
