The reason it's taking so long is because Voda haven't approved the phone for release yet...its got nothing to do with stock availabilty, regardless of what you have been told.
Orange are releasing it early to get a jump on and encourage people to place deposits and orders with them first....doesn't mean they actually have access to any handsets

would love to tell u all that i've been down to the orange store and am now a proud owner of a P800, but can't I'm afraid, been down there and they said they're expecting it some time next week, as they've received the pricing details today, and they always receive the price details up to a week before they receive the stock. Pricewise, the guy showed me the thing, most tariffs will be £299.99, but a high-user tariff can get it as low as £199.99, and the guy actually told me to buy it on a high tarif and change after a month to a low tariff

Me too.
Fargate branch & Meadowhall branch in Sheffield had deliveries this morning. I just picked mine up from from Fargate branch. They had six delivered. I was first to buy one 10am and 4 of others are already booked for collection. Not sure how many at Meadowhall but probably all gone by now.

Just tried it with a Virgin SIM and it complained with 'Insert correct SIM', so looks like they are indeed locked.
Firmware versions are
Phone R1d
Bluetooth R2C
Organiser R1F01
CDA R2A01

I can email someone some pictures of P800 with orange packaging if you have ability to post them up.
Nice screen but colours a bit 'milky' looking in contrast to vibrant colours on iPAQ3970.
Already setup for GPRS access. Just tapped in
www.esato.com/p800 and no problems.
