Hi, can anyone please help me out ? i really need to know when will i be able to find this amazing phone in England , cuz i'm flying in to London especially to get this phone....
does anyone know how much will it cost ???
thank you

:roll:

If your goal is to have a P800 ASAP then London is possibly one of the worst destinations you could choose.
Read this forum carefully for there are past trheads that shed some light on why this is the case.

so where do you think it will be in stores first ? ( besides sweden )

Maybee Italy (TIM branded) 15 December, 7-8.000 units for all Italy 799EUR, at least p800.it site administrator seams to be quite confident on this info.

The word has been that it would be a *light branding* (because TIM wants to release it b4 Christmas and had not had the time to do a *proper* heavy branding) maybee as light as just a logo and GPRS pre-parametrization (overwitabble) of account trough TIM servers.
Personaly I think this super-light TIM branding is wishfull thinking on part of the participants of the p800.it forum...

do you know if it will be available in london in january? if it will, then when in january?
and another question...what will be the quantity of this phone delivered to stores? because i dont want to get all the way there and fing out the phone has ran out...
thank you again

Most mobile shops in the UK are saying Mid January etc
My local Carphone Warehouse said their rep visitied them a few days ago & said the phone should be available by the end of jan.

Most mobile phone shops in the UK said:

"September, for sure"
"October, yes I'm pretty certain"
"November, I think"
"December, maybe January"

Now they're saying

"What's a P800?.....we sell phones"

Then procede to deny all knowledge of it's existance as they've been asked so many times 😃

Definitely ! I asked about P800 in our shops in Czech Republic and they don't know�what P800 is. But I called helpdesk SE and they said, that it will be available b4 christmas max early Jan. So we'll see 😉

it will never be available! Mwahahahahaha.

By the way hasn't anyone got totaly fed up with waiting for it? I went out and brought a pocket PC instead. That was back when they said it was delayed until November, Thank god I'm still not waiting for it. I had been waiting since June... Come to think of it maybe they meant June 2003?

I know the feeling i've got a t600 in the mean time, that way i'll always have a small phone when i go out etc.
I can't wait to see what SE is going to release on monday :P

😮 I hope it's that little silver concept phone they announced ages ago. 😮

Acording to P800.it Italian GSM operator TIM is now testing the latest FW version from SE for the P800 that allows them to brand the device.
If all goes well the target date of 15Dec should be met with small volumes.

Only in Italy or in Europe???? Otherwise i'm thinking of taking a short travel to Italy (from Belgium) to get one!!! :angel:

Italy + Sweden + 3rd country (dont remember wich)
Don't make the trip all units preorederd by waiting lists.

Pffff ... i guess i won't get it before feb. ... 😞 😞 😞

3th country is Germany, heard about that too. Not fair at all!!!
