I faxed my "rant" to my local Vodafone shop and the manager forwarded it onto the head office.
I got a response from SE stating that the delay was due to Vodafone holding up the release due to problems during testing. I hope this isn't going to hold it up further.
I also got this same message from the Vodafone head office.
We'll see what happens this week. |

Unbelievable!!!!!
This is made so much harder by the fact that two of the guys in my office have already got the P800 on Orange. 
Is this still the official line Steve? |

I gave up on Vodafone last week and grabbed the last Orange P800 from CPW. As I'm out of contract, I've ported my number to Orange at no cost and got the phone for £199 rather than the £299 that Vodafone want.
Getting my e-mail via GPRS worked first time with Orange. Unlike Vodafone where I never managed to get it to work on my Nokia 7650 and couldn't find anyone in Vodafone who could assist. Perhaps I was unlucky with my e-mail but so far the transition to Orange has been smooth. A few years back I wouldn't have touched Orange but the service appears better now. |

sorry guys 1/2 price line rental is only on live phones and the p800 is not one
so £299.99 and 12.99 a month is the best price
still being told fri 14 but i will wait and see after the lies we have been told in the last few weeks |

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.
Orange had theirs in their shops 22 Feb! ANyway I'm due to get mine next week for £19.99
