Hiya Everybody!
Just thought i would share some images of my brand new O2 Silver K800 Bond Edition as I believe it is the first on esato from the UK. Enjoy.
Yehs...the O2 Branded Handsets Come In The Bond Box
There You Go Guys!
I'm over the moon with my k800...i think it looks awsome in Silver rather than boring Black. You Guys Like it?
Feel free to leave your comments or ask me any questions about the phone.
Cheers Alex

Cheers arj2442, which shop did you get it from?

Posted by arj2442

O2 Online...give them a ring...available to order now!
Good Luck Mate!
Posted by PeterKay
Cheers mate, will do.
Posted by arj2442
it says ya get free bond dvd's on the o2 website now haha
I didnt get them!
Posted by PeterKay
Unlucky mate

I'm very tempted to buy this, but the o2 shop mentions theres no PAYG version....which is weird since you can get it on PAYG with the black k800i. You think if I ring them up and ask would they be able to offer it on PAYG? (I'm not too keen on being tied down on a contract)
edit: and also, how much o2 branding is there? is it enough to bother you?

Aww - i want one
Any chance of fascia's on ebay?
Posted by volvoman
Any chance of getting the special message tone off the phone, what does it sound like? and can you get any of the other special items off the phone as well, I know it is a bit of a cheek, but I must get points for trying.
Also did the 512mb card come with it as well.

Posted by arj2442
the 512 was included in my offer but not in all.
Although i rekon if you tell O2 that a free card will b the sealing factor of a deal they will throw it in no problemo!
Also...sorry volvo...all of the special themes / ringtones are ALL LOCKED and therefore can not be transfered!
Sorry Mate
I rekon you could wangle a deal on PAYG mate..try it, can't hurt!
Believe me its well worth having its nice to be different...not many people are going to have this baby as everyone goes for the black as they have seen there mates with it.

@ricster2000
Believe it or not....THERE IS NO O2 BRANDING AT ALL...due to it being a james bond edition...all of the branding is Bond..i.e bond wallpapers etc etc which can all be removed if u wish....theres no o2 stuff at all...no o2 start up screen or anything like tht..instead its a Casino Royal start up screen:p which looks pretty sick as well
Hows That Sound?
Posted by ricster2000
No O2 branding has completely sold me! I'll give them a ring first thing on Monday (probably try tomorrow as well but since its Sunday chances are no-one will answer). Hope they're able to offer me it on PAYG, otherwise I might have to give it a miss......
Posted by ricster2000
I decided to just ring o2 now, and their customer service is shocking to say the least....they didnt sound like they knew what they were talking about. Anyway, i was finally passed onto the o2 online sales team, I asked about buying it on PAYG and they said its only on contract. I asked several other questions (e.g. the black one is on PAYG so why not the silver?) and the guy simply answered "Don't Know".
Looks like I might have to settle for a contract, the cheapest one I could find was £25 for 12 months. Would it be possible to transfer my current PAYG number onto the contract? And also, after the contract finishes, would it be possible to transfer this number back over to PAYG? (ie. PAYG -> contract -> PAYG)
Posted by spikeyjac
are you on o2 now?
if so tell them you will leave them and get a contact(even though your on payg) on another service provider.that might make them give you a lil bit of a beta deal but i duno?
Posted by ricster2000
I'm currently on O2 PAYG and would ideally like to stay like this. But I want the silver k800i so badly!! I'm going to check carphonewarehouse next week and see if they are able to sell it on PAYG.
Posted by nalbagli
Congratulations on your new k800...looks great...the only thing I dont like about silver edition is thet the cam cover is black
Btw change you avatar!! jaja

Called CPW today, they say the silver K800i is available on upgrade.
Posted by glorfingal
too early for an upgrade so new contract time
Damn that's a fine looking phone
Roll on Tuesday :->>
Posted by PeterKay
with CPW you can upgrade after 10 months on a 12 months contract.

@arj2442: you and the matador are turning me jealous with your silver casino royale's k800. i hope u, both, enjoy it. the only cyber phone offered in dominican republic is the k790a.
note: if the k800 would be CID36 or far would support CID49, we we would be able to tranfer those blocked themes, right?

Dont no

Not quite true. From looking at your pictures and seeing the handest in an O2 store yesterday, they have put a link to the O2 wap site on the main menu and got rid of the play now button.
Posted by PeterKay
well spotted mate.
Posted by arj2442
True...sorry mate that is true..but admitedly, i think the o2 link button is incredibly useful so i liek it to be there...
When you are in town and you need to find out the football results or latest scored quickly, 2 clicks and your there with the o2 button
p.s...Can we have a Silver K800 AVATAR PLEASE! =P hehe
Thanx for the comment about the pictures!!
Anymore Questions?
Alex
Posted by ricster2000
Is that the only bit of o2 branding?If it is I don't mind. Have you tried checking for firmware updates yet? I'm assuming it'll just use the regular k800i updates, so I'm guessing it'll be possible to debrand the phone, but would you lose all the bond exclusive stuff?
Posted by arj2442
I dont think you would lose the exclusive stufff...hang on ill try saving it to the memory stick
...
Posted by arj2442
Nah...cnt do that so mayb u mite lose it but i doubt u actually would
BTW
The Silver K800 come with the latest R1e Firmware!
Alex
Posted by ricster2000
You know what? I just got one!!
I decided to pop into town and there it was in the O2 shop, so i thought "what the hell" and bought it there and then. Had to opt for a contract mind....but its only a 12monther so thats alright. I'm charging it up at the moment (o2 guy said charge for 8-10 hours), so I'll let you guys know how things are tomorrow!
edit: oh yeah, they also gave me 3 Bond DVDs (Man with the Golden Gun, Goldeneye, Goldfinger)

Congrats on your purchase mate, what price plan did you get it on?
Posted by Superluminova
What do you think my chances of getting one on payt from o2?
I'm on contract and i can get an upgrade on the 16th but i'm gonna get the w950i with that but i want the silver k800i
Posted by ricster2000
This might be a stupid question, but how do you get the battery cover off? I'm trying to change sim cards and I can't get the cover off.........
I'm on O2 400/100 for £35 for 12 months. However, I plan on changing that to the £20 tariff after 6 months. I know its not the best deal in the world, but I like to think that I got a phone with a high resale value, so that makes up for it
edit: nevermind.....i finally managed to force it open, hope i don't ever have to do that again!!
[ This Message was edited by: ricster2000 on 2006-11-05 16:12 ]
Posted by arj2442
HAHAH DID YOU HAVE THAT PROBLEM TOO!
I swear i sat at my desk for a good 5-10 minits trying different techniques to slide that bitch off...its almost impossible to get it off isn't it!!
Anyways...had to do it again once i'd swapped contacts as i needed to put my new sim card in LOL...stupid me
it is a nightmare getting that cover off though...its a tight fit!
Alex
Posted by ricster2000
Haha, yeah. The instruction manual says slide, but theres nothing to grip onto to actually slide the thing! In the end I just kept rubbing the cover as this seemed to be working, albeit VERY slowly.
Posted by arj2442
my best technique was using like 3 main fingaz
pulling it downwards rather thn pushing it down..like stroking over the surface with a bit of pressure from the bottom of the fone.
Worked in the end
was sooooo frustrating though...started swearing my head off at it lolol

does the silver/bond k800 have rubberized keypad aswell? after selling my black k800 to get a P990 im planning on getting a silver oneas a second phone, though im quite annoyed on how a few of my previous k800 keypad's started peeling just after a few months of use. TIA
Posted by O B Haive
Hi all, just to let you know you can also get the BOND silver version through o2 stores! You even get the DVD's like online
[Man With The Golden Gun, Gold Finger, and errrrr...... of course Golden Eye!]
