oh well its good 2 see u got ur handset in the end J2
i swear the wait for the handset is beyond a joke but my opinions have already been voiced by others in the thread!
but im flad its coming 2 orange soon - lets hope there is no delay and ill check the orange magazine 2 see if it is indeed in there!
i should be able to get it arround �150 on contract (im a heavy user so the large tarrif) caint wait 😉
I Spoke 2 Orange Today, They're saying roughly around 24th Feb. But again the usual story "not confirmed". Fingers XX :-?
According to posts at Esato, Germany looks to be Feb 17th. Another quotes that SE are releasing in UK on 17th according to an email received by the poster.
Not sure what to make of this. More FUD probably.
Glad to hear that you didn't lose your money J2theIZZO.
I am sick to death of waiting for this phone. I think SE have lost a lot of goodwill with the constant delays. If the Networks are p1ssing them around they should say so. Call a spade a spade not a digging implement.
Thanks everyone 😃
I'm sorry you guys are waiting longer, but it's worth the wait 😊 😮
Can anyone confirm that the p800 will be available on orange before the end of Febuary ?
Will there be any promo gprs tarrif like there was with the spv ?
This is purely an opinion, but I suspect that no-one outside SE hq can tell you if Orange will actually have a phone to sell in the next six months, never mind the end of february. :evil:
If only the 7650 was a better phone without the lazy upgrade restrictions.
JJJ, no confirmation. But Orange seem extremely confident about it being out by the end of FEB. They're stuck their neck out slightly by already advertising it in the lastest mag...but alas we shall see.
i hope so! cos whenever someone says they they got such and such a date from sony ericsson or orange i call and they always say 1st quater or feb respectively and no one has a definate date! 😞
i wouldnt mind but they announced this phone ages ago! they should have kept it a secret and i would have blissfully ignorant abt it lol!
Some more info for you all, 17th or 24th FEB looking very likely.
I'll let you know if I find out any more.
Which year or decade I don't now 😉 😉
I hope Orange pull their finger out this time. When the T68 was first released it took Orange ages to release it on their network! 02 and Voda got it much earlier. I ended up getting the t68 on 02 and using an orange JT sim!
3GSM conference starts on 17th. They are releasing opera on that day so I wonder if they are going to make the general availability announcement then.
anyone knows if the p800 supports Line 2???
Just put a pre-order in at the SE eshop.
"Emma" (I think) said that they were being released on the 24th Feb, and that they'll need a day to take in the shipment, and another day to get them out to people. She reckoned that it would definately be with me by the first week in March "at the latest".
I should have asked if this is the second shipment that they'll be receiving, I dare say that if it is, the first one has been sold out for quite a while.
Not long to go now.
Andy
It seems this forum is a little slower than esato.
17th is first batch from se eshop, 24th is second.
They also told me that all the orders so far will be met with the first batch. She did say that none of this was confirmed, but I assume that is them coverring their arses.
Just to confirm on what AndyP has said, Orange is going 2 release the handset first this friday(should be in shops monday 17th FEB. Other networks 2 follow by end of the month.
Ring the SE eshop,they will tell you the same..... 😃
just phoned up my local Orange Shop (in meadowhall, sheffield) and they say they will get them next week (starting monday 17th), so as soon as they arrive, i will have one with my name on it!
They will give me a call when they arrive 😃 😃 😃
No idea of the price tho :/
It's now being advertised on the Orange UK website, under the list of phones you can buy.
Says "Coming Soon" though, but at least its a good indication that it definitely is coming soon.. (unlike my mobile, but that's another story)
�299.99 on pay monthly - no prices for upgrade yet.
[quote="Durzel"]�299.99 on pay monthly - no prices for upgrade yet.[/quote]if you've havn't upgraded for 12 months, isn't the upgrade and the pay monthly price the same?
yeah the upgrade fee and RRP is the same! but depending on where u buy ur handset and what tarrif u go on, the price of the handset can be subsidesed even furthere when purchasing a new contract.
[quote="will"][quote="Durzel"]�299.99 on pay monthly - no prices for upgrade yet.[/quote]if you've havn't upgraded for 12 months, isn't the upgrade and the pay monthly price the same?[/quote]Yes, you're right.
I didn't know that until about 10 minutes after posting 😊
Thats not actually strictly true.
As I understand it, the phone shops get less profit from the networks for upgrading an existing customer than getting a new contract signed. Thus upgrades can sometimes be more expensive.
With regard to forward cellular in Leicester they quoted me �440 for an upgrade when they are offering �299 on a new contract.
And yes... Im about 15 months into my contract!
Who's going to be the first one with a UK (most likely eshop) p800 in their hands next week then? 😊 the race is on...
And what I really wanna know is....
Which firmware will the new UK ones have?

I won over a week ago :P 😃 😉
where was yours from then?
he got it from forward cellular apparently they did somehow get uk spec version early!
as for the upgrade price u were quoted from a shop! thats twollox andy u should not pay more than the rrp if ur over ur 12 months. Infact i remember upgrading 2 a 9210 a while back on orange and i called them direct and they transfered me 2 disconnections cos of the 500 they were asking for an upgrade and they slashed it half to 250 and let me upgrade - they also look at ur call spend and take that into account 😉
Yes, I got mine from Forward Cellular in Leicester

😃
Sony Ericsson's eshop are still saying that it was officially launched today on orange, but Orange don't seem to have a clue.... :x
Just going back to the Orange upgrade thing, they have changed their pricing policy on upgrades. You will be charged an upgrade premium even if your contract is over 12 months old under the new regulations, dependant on your average bills, from a somple of those generated in the last 3 months.
I can post a list of prices if anyone is intrested.
omar: yes i would be interested 😊
