Some people on other forums have been saying that if you call orange on 0800 801080 then you can order it. I just called & was told that the phone HAS been launched on the network but they are waiting for stock to arrive. So basically, I still couldn't order one.

You might think orange are bad because your desparate for a P800 like the rest of us but where are Voda & O2? Not even mentioned on their websites. Not even released SIM free form SE yet!
At least orange are definetely having it and for them to be first (before Voda & o2) is unheard of.
true, but at least Voda and O2 aren't feeding us crap every time we speak to them, imo, Orange are probably in the same boat as Voda & O2, but instead of sitting tight and saying they're not sure when it'll be available, they're building up the hype for free by feeding every1 misinformation.
It's complete bull that they launched the fone yesterday, because if you launch a fone, u have to make it available to the public.

Just spoke to Emma at eShop. She says that the now 'confirmed' release date is the 24th February (this year!). Guess we gonna have to wait a few more days.
If ANYONE sees one available beforehand, PLEASE post here for the rest of us!
THANX Y'ALL

sent this email to Orange: Quote:Could someon please tell me why every time I speak to someone at Orange Direct on 0500802080), I get a different answer concerning availability and price of SonyEricsson's P800 phone? In the last few days I've been told 'we don't know whe it'll be released...price should be around £170 on contract'; 'it was launched today, but we don't have any idea when it'll actually be available...no I don't have any idea on price'; 'it's available now to buy, but not to upgrade... at a price of £249.99'; 'it's available, but only our top 30 stores have stock... I'm not sure what the price is'. The same goes for Orange Retail stores, I've been told by them 'have had an email saying it will be sometime in March, but not sure whether start or end of the month'; 'was it launched today? not as far as I know, we have no idea when it'll be available'. As i'm sure you can understand, this is infuriating, I alike many others in the UK are eagerly anticipating this phone, and are ready to spend!
a large some of money with Orange to get the phone, the least you could do for us is give us some genuine information, instead of the collection of blatant lies and half-truths we are getting from your staff. So, as a final note, could someone PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE CONFIRMED PRICE AND AVAILABILTY? and got this response: Quote:Dear
Thank you for your mail.
Thank you for your email about the Sony Ericsson P800.
I can confirm that this phone has now been launched and the price quoted on our screens is £249.99, although as you are aware, a lot of Dealers will be offering this model at different prices, as per normal, in order to obtain sales.
I have no information available regarding stock, however, our Direct Sales on 0800 801080 should be able to provide this, subject to their systems being updated.
For more information please visit the Orange Shop online for regularly updated news on all new products and services available on Orange. Click here for a direct link to the website:

We look forward to hearing from you.

so, that'll be largely avoiding the issue then! so I do as the nice lady says, ring the 0800801080 number, to be told by Caroline that yes it was launched yesterday, but they're waiting for SE to deliver their stock, and she's expecting delivery this week sometime. She the told me that I could probably get it cheaper than £249.99 on a different tariff.

In all fairness, Emma always says the 24th, I presume so that thats a worst case scenario.
I can't seem to get the search working on esato (you search on the word UK and it says Word Excluded: UK and returns no results) but if you had been reading the million+1 other posts about this you may have seen some of mine regarding release dates.
Justin said yesterday it's still 17th - 24th but he has a gut feeling about the 20th.
