Hey, US guys... there's a thread about this in the "Americas" forum:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=16090&forum=31

Woedee, you say T-mobile US is going to sell it soon... are you sure about this? What is your source? How soon?

Thanks,

Sven

Hmm...

I wish I had as much money as you people seem to have...

I'm going to have to rely on my trusty 7110 for another month or so, till I get my student loan in, and can then spend 1/3 of it on the P800! (plus another £100 on upgrading to XP so I can actually install the software suite that comes with it!**)

** Aparently it doens't run under Windows 98, so I guess I'd better get XP

UAEMall is a legit operation. Got two from the UAE, one is for sale. $850. New, boxed, still in courier packing envelope. Interested? Send me a private message. This is a legit post, no scam, not go-on-take-the-money-and-run.

Hey, Omar do they only take money transfers.... is there any way for me to use a credit card because they have not responded back to me after I placed my order..except to tell me to wire money over there.

Thanks.
Taylor

Ok Contaygious, here's the deal. As I said earlier UAE Mall is a legit operation. However, they're not very sophisticated. Before the P800 went on sale they had it on their website as a soon-to-be-released item. I contacted them through their website and expressed a "definite" desire to buy one as soon as it went on sale. On December 21st they sent me the following automated message:
"We have received your offer/inquiry for Sony Ericsson P800 and it has been delivered to the supplier, uaemall_mobiles. He will respond to it at the earliest."
I haven't heard from them since. This doesn't mean they'll take your money and do a runner but it's just not good business practice. I just checked 4 u and they don't accept credit cards.
In the event My local SE dealer here in Qatar flew to Dubai, UAE (45 minute flight) and came back with 50 P800s. I bought one. Then my brother who works in Dubai sent me one coz he knew I wanted one ASAP. So I ended up with 2 P800s.
And the other one is still for sale.

Hope this helps.

Live in the US?

www.techshop.nu will ship to the US with UPS. They are the cheapest, has awesome 24 hour customer service and are among the top sellers in Sweden. Highly recommended!

I sent an enquiry to techshop & i included my post code asking to price me for a p800 + post,
A nice man called peter emailed me back to say "please send me your post code otherwise we can`t give you a price" so i explaned that i had & gave it again & that was the last i heard.
Great service. Anyway i got a P800 yesterday off a guy in London. so Techshop can shove theirs up their P800 holes.

Regarding TechShop.nu

Unfortunately they don't have their website in English yet but they do speak English if you contact them.

They need your postal code in order to get a shipping quote from UPS.

My experience with them has been awesome. It might be hard for them to keep up since they are getting tons of inquiries every day from Esato members across the world.

contaygious> if you seriously consider to purchase the P800 from TechShop you just need to email them and request their bank information and company information. I could post it here since I've completed an order with them but I don't want to be responsible of any mistakes or misunderstandings.

All you need is their:
-bank name and address
-account number
-company name and address
-SWIFT code
