I'm at work today but I'll try and get some pics done and uploaded this evening. First impressions from the couple of shots I took yesterday, outside in good light, was that it was a much better camera than the i900.
The phone comes in the usual Orange branded box with the Orange bumf, manuals, etc. The only branding on the phone is a small, less than 1 cm, Orange cube logo on the back cover with the i8910 number next to it. UI wise from the menu view (not a Widget fan) there's Orange World which is the Web Browser with Orange homepage. It doesn't seem like this is changeble but obviously I can add bookmarks such as google. There is also the Orange Music Store that installs as an app when first used. Other than that there's an Orange Maps Widget in the Widgets bar which takes you to the Orange Maps page to download/buy their Sat Nav.
There really isn't much enforced as far as Orange branding goes. I would imagine the noticable difference will be seen when the phone is de-branded and I can see what Orange have removed over the original Nokia/Samsung OS.

As of right now ANY model with the 850Mhz 3G band is NOT shipping. Currently Orange UK is the ONLY reliable source on bands supported on an Omnia i8910 because its SHIPPING and verifiable.
I don't fully trust GSMArena as they've made mistakes before, then edited their content.

I ordered mine directly from Orange online. I would imagine the Mobiles.co.uk phones are branded too as the earliest date I've seen is the 25th May for the SIM free units coming in and Mobiles claim to have stock already. I could be wrong though.

Digging about on the Orange website and clicking the 'orange recommends' link
http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop[....]nds/paymonthly?WT.ac=ACSPALL_L
clearly advertises the
16GB internal memory! (you even get a fancy flash annimation when clicked on) Yet click on 'more detail'
http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop[....]ung_i8910hd/detail/pay_monthly
then shows the 8GB version being stocked.
Anyone who's actually recieved their HD direct from Orange like to comment on which version is being shipped? Thinking as this is Orange we're talking about is probably just a glaring mistake on their website!!!

Thinking the
16GB version would certainly go a little way to justifing the £99 blanket min cost?

It's an 8gb version from Orange. I would imagine that the "Exclusive" bit is around the 8gb part and that another Mobile company will get the 16gb version. I don't believe the 16gb version has finished final production/shipping yet. So Orange will have the handset exclusively until that time. If I recall correctly they did it with the i900; Orange got 16gb and Vodafone 8gb.
