Yay got mine today from orange shop.
But may i offer one word of warning Orange have moved the goalposts as far as upgrades are concerned - You no longer have a 12 month contract it depends on your monthly bill. My t68 contract runs out in 2 weeks time but because my months bills are low they said i can upgrade till sept so i had to pay an extra £120 if i wanted the p800.

£299 + £120 upgrade charge(appears on next bill)
as for the organiser version, dunno phone is on charge at the moment but you do get an animated orange startup screen. and i think yes they are locked.

In my opinion you can charge it full (100%) and then start using it!
And then you can leave it with the charger pluged in over night!

That is so expensive. I got mine offline for £470. Plus, when i decide to upgrade to a decent phone on o2 i will get a killer deal and be able to make a load of money selling that phone on. I'm part of the o2 select club and so i get killer deals on stuff. Last month they offered me the S55 for free, but i don't think that many people actually want that phone. Waiting for the GD87 to come out on o2, then i will sell that on. Plus i get 20% off my line rental and cheaper calls and other perks for free...
I also phone onestopphoneshop and small talk to ask when they would have the p800 in, and one stop still said that it will be out on vodafone before it's out on orange (!). small talk said maybe a week on orange. useless for information really!

Eleventy7; You can;t change it down tomorrow, you have to wait 3 months. You will have signed to this in your contract so i advise you to read through it carefully. That is how orange make their money you see. They subsidise the phone, but you have to pay more line rental for 3 months...
if it is otherwise please tell me!

i thought it was 4 months on Orange. (till u can change the tarrif)
So far.. it looks like 'onestop' are doin the best deal for the P800. Just have to wait a little longer
