What happened to vodafone, it used to be the first to launch phones.
Now i am considering the orange offer, specially if i find someware that unlocks the P800

This is ridiculous......
Below is the content of an email I sent to Sonyericsson customer support.
Sorry if I go on a bit.
-------------------------
I have just been informed by my local Vodafone shop that the P800, I
was due to receive today, is now not available until next Friday 7th
March.
I cannot find the words to adequately convey to you how furious I am
over the completely unprofessional way the roll out of this phone has
been executed.
We have been promised dates again and again (since Q3 2002) that
were obviously never going to be achieved, and when the phone does
finally start to arrive in some form it is on one of the least popular and
most restrictive UK networks and there is no sign of it anywhere else.
I am then given a firm delivery date of the phone on Vodafone, one
week after it’s release on Orange, only for the shop to be informed the
day before that SonyEricsson aren’t shipping any units this week.
I want an explanation!
Can you please give me your assurance that this phone will be
available to the Vodafone network before I die of old age?
Can you also assure me that the support of this phone, once it does
turn up, will be an improvement on the way it’s release to the
networks has been handled? Otherwise I am seriously considering
returning to Nokia.
This situation is a very bad reflection on both Sony and Ericsson, two
companies which I have had good service from in the past.
I eagerly anticipate your response.
Chris Fletcher.

Orange is actually the most popular network in the UK by more than one million customers.
As for the delay, Orange are supposed to have a 3 week exclusive deal before it's released on the other Networks. |

Richardadc either you made that last thing up or someone misinformed you because vodafone has more customers than any other network in the UK and orange has no such deal with sony ericsson about a so-called three-week priority. the phones are already in vodafone warehouses and are being delivered to all vodafone retail outlets during next week, ready for general sale on friday 7th march. Quit making stuff up.

The information on Orange having an exclusive deal was from David Chow (What Mobile contributing editor). As for the subscriber figures, that was from a trade magazine. But i'm sure if you send an email to Oftel they will confirm this.
Your post did give me a laugh though.
