*passes andy a tissue*
i hear yah! im telling myself end of this month! on another note - i heard on the uk spec phone theres a video recording app - hence the delay anyone got any info on this ill try search again for the thread if anyone has the link please post 😊
god damn it... i don't give a crap about a video recording function yet... i don't want to wait until they make a .sis for making a pot of tea either....
I'll have it now as R1A if needs be!
lol@pot of tea!
pateince is a virtue! but really its bloody se's fault for telling us about this phoen way too early! i mean the issued details of it in the middle of last year!
someone ring the eshop and pester emma again for more info.
Tell them if they aint with us by saturday there'll be an unhappy camper on the way up there to give them a piece of my mind!
Im going to lunch anyway to destress 😊
Just spoken to Emma (to place an order);
She said the Week Commencing the 24th of Feb is the "Official" UK release date (sounds like a range of dates to me), so they could be in any time during that week. They will be shipped out (mine included) as soon as they arrive.
And on the question of Memory Stick duo availability in the UK, 32 and 64MB versions will be released in March\April.
You're will be shipped out the day it arrives ? Have you pre-ordered one from Orange direct. I was told I couldn't do that.
Damn Emma...
You should have asked to speak to Justin... he knows whats going on 😊
Emma has always said the 24th, and whilst she might be right I believe she is just saying that to shut people up.
I reckon they'll arrive as the SE eshop tomorrow afternoon...

When people speak of Emma or Justin, they are talking about the SonyEricsson E-shop (08705) 238 238. P800 = �500 sim free.
Not orange I'm afraid.

Probably the cheapest around. Though not in stock for a few weeks apparently
rest assured that I have someone waiting at home every day who has been threatened to ring me as soon as the delivery arrives..
Lets see who posts here first to say a eshop phone has arrived...
Let's hope it's me on friday afternoon 😊
id like 2 know how the sim free version works with line 2 on orange!
i may even get it on the virgin mobile tarrif on orange if thats the same price as se eshop and then get it unlocked for another �20
If you buy the P800 with an Orange contract, and it does support Line 2, can you migrate an existing pay monthly Orange contract on a seperate SIM onto that line?
I have an Orange pay monthly SIM that I use for work, but I wouldn't mind getting my own contract - but I don't want to have to change the SIMs back and forth whenever I want to make personal or business calls.
Any ideas?
hmm not sure if u have 2 sims u on orange u can divert all calls from one to the other at no additional cost if thats what you mean
its called orange everyphone, here a link below
http://www.orange.co.uk/services/every_phone.html
as for 2 seperate sims having the same number - i doubt it but u could ask them.
sorry i see what u mean now u want ur exiting number as line 2 number on the other phone. They dont let you do that, but there are 2 ways round it.
a: cancel ur existing contract and go on pay as you go. when u get ur new orange contract transfer ur pay as you go to contract.
b: this is a long method, get a pay as you go sim for another network and post ur number accross then port it bacl to orange on ur new contract as line 2.
they dont let u post ur existing pay monthley contract to another new paymonthly contract within the same network. The make u upgrade for that.

No, she didn't say the same day. She said "straight away". In the same way as she didn't say it would be released on Monday. She said the Week begining Monday.
And I was referring to Emma at the SE Shop, as someone mentioned before.
Just to interrupt your little tiff :roll: expansys have a confirmated release date of 25th feb.
Who's up for placing bets!? current odds are 10000000 : 1 that it WILL be then...
Given that Expansys have not made any unfounded commitments
so far I'm ready to believe them.
Oh God please ..............
I reckon that Expansys are baseing this date on the fact that everyone in the forums is saying the 24th!!! They have been consistently wrong and usually a week or two behind the latest rumours. We will see come Monday!
Bit eerie, this threads gone quiet.
Looks like no Orange retail shops have the phones in yet. Still got 2morrow though.... :-?
or monday, tuesday... 😞
they've gotta release the P800 whilst we're still in Feb or what little confidence consumers have in SE will shrink considerably. Personnaly I stopped waiting for this product in November. I would have been waiting for it for over a year by this time. I was initially expecting it to be released last July.
If it's still the hostest thing around in November 2003 then I'll buy one.
All,
Hey, in case there are people here that dont read the Esato forum then someone there has spoken to Justin at the SE E-shop and Justin said that they ship phones to Expansys. So Expansys will have gotten the date from SE direct.
Monday is still looking likely to be the actual day they get the 1500 P800 phones in stock.
Zoidy.
Cool... 8)
Does anybody know whather there will be any unlimited gprs tarrif for it on orange like the spv had?
I have heard that the release date by ORANGE is going to be Tuesday 25 February and the ORANGE site is showing the handset with a contract at �329.00. Last week they had it down for �299.00 with contract so why the price hike only God knows?
They probably saw what Expansys was charging for it and decided they wanted a piece of the action.
Seems you have to virtually sell your soul for a P800 through Expansys - 24 month O2 contract (which isn't even very good) and even then the phone is still �293. 😮
Yeah, i just checked Orange... �30 extra..... HMM. Only because they *can*. We've been waiting for so long �30 isn't going to put us off, and they'll be richer.
Damn them.
The simple fact is, Carphone Warehouse are advertising P800's in Feb. The are, if not the biggest, one of the biggest, handset supplier in UK. They would not advertise 'due in Feb' if it 'aint coming in Feb. So if the vibes on orange are 25 Feb then it isn't gonna be far off.
Forget what orange and SE are saying, this phone will be on public sale on one of the networks by the 28th of Feb!
Apparantly Orange had some stock which they sold yesterday afternoon, hence why it is listed on the website as available for upgrade.
They are now out of stock and are waiting for further deliveries, and are not taking upgrade orders in the mean time.

P800 AVAIL now in Orange Shops, Ring ur local retail to see if they've got any in stock. I've just had a call from one of the Leicester Stores & they have just had them delivered. I have reserved one. :P :P :P
