I just called Orange again, and the phone is *on the stock list* and is *due to be released today*!!! I was told to call back in a few hours to see if they could give me one then.

It is available for new connections, but not upgrades. Grrrrrrr!

Here's the upgrade page to watch: http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop[....]sets/upgrade/sony_ericsson/all

The online price of UKP150 on the UKP19 12month line rental package seems good value

Well, I've just been told by the Orange Shop on Princes Street in Edinburgh that they will be in the shop on Monday 16th October, 2006. I've placed a pre-order.

I've just upgraded to it! It has cost me £49.99 on a £25 tariff and will be with me on Tuesday. All of you who have been waiting to upgrade to it can now, just phone them up. Roll on Tuesday!

Yeah, I got mine after a text message. Must give them credit for that, didn't think it was going to happen but it did.

called orange on the premier phone and sorted out an upgrade on both phones for 2 P990's
at 1st they wanted £49.99 each but i said i wasnt paying
then it became free but on an 18 month contract.
again i rejected this and said i would check the other networks.
ive been with orange for about 10 years and theres no way im going for an 18 month tie in.
so i'll look around and see what the other networks offer,then i'll offer orange the chance to retain me,otherwise im off to someone else
