Apparently Orange have withdrawn the P800 according to someone who just tried to order one.
I wonder why?

So it does!
Edit:
Apparently he ordered it online, heard nothing for 2 days, called customer services who said it had been discontinued.
They're not always right however...
Can anyone from O confirm anything? orangeman?

wouldn't it be slightly dumb to discontinue without a proper successor to replace it??

Are you sure it's not the T68?
My bro went to upgrade the other day and they told him that this model had been discontinued - he went for the T610 in the end, nice phone, better camera than my P800! |

P800's camera is better... 0,3megapixels rather than the 0,1 megapixels of T610... pictures seem better on the T610 because T610 has more colors than the P800.. If you transfer the pics on a pc you will see the difference |

We're definately talking about the P800 here.
I do know that the web shop have different stock levels to Orange if you call them, so there may be different responses depending on where you call.

I work for Orange and haven't heard anything at all.
All discontinued models are listed on the Weekly Trading Focus in store...and the P800 aint there!
Only recently discontinued models are the Siemens S55 and SL55, and past ones include the T200, T300, T68i and the Nokia 5210 and 7210.
Still, I'll check the next one to see! |

The P800 is indeed out of stock according to Orange, they told me that there are currently none available. however, they said that if it has been discontinued they have not been informed as of yet.

Yeah, we have had those handsets confirmed as Discontinued also.
The P800 is being phased out, no more deliveries will be received.
Think they just havent given the final description of discontinued. |
