I've found a way to get it from O2 even cheaper.
I've just joined quidco because I always see them mentioned on Hot UK Deals and if you buy using your quidco account you get £35 back on any O2 contract you buy (see here for details)
now, I haven't found a way to get quidco to use the student site but even using the normal O2 shop if you take the £219.99 and subtract your £35 back from quidco this makes it £184.99 and thus £10 cheaper than the student site.
Still trying to suss a way to use quidco on the student site though...

@amnesia - I'm sure you could have lol but I didn't put that much thought into this purchase! 
@masseur - 
thats all I have to say, apart from I'm never dealing with o2 again after this as they are complete and utter idiots.. grrr.. although phone should be here in a week now, lets hope its worth it when it arrives!
p.s. it should be  hehe

. . . metal (is it  ) cost more than 'hard plastic' nowadays ! For practical buyers, it's NOT worth the trouble in acquiring it! But for RICh guys like - Masseur, it's just like a WALK in the park mates
@defensive - You don't have any other recourse here do you? Can you still return the item back (money-back-guarantee) Just enjoy it dude . . . it's successor will be announced early next year I'm sure - Nokia 8800i

An updated 8800, supposedly the 8800i is rumoured to never be produced according to most Nokia forum's but I have my doubts, like the 6230 then 6230i etc.
Anyway it will be here soon(ish) so I'm not going to cancel it, was going to get CPW to match the deal but they are also out of stock at the moment they say

@defensive - That Nokia 8800 "i" was just a wild guess mate, but who knows it might just be included in the assembly line right? Good Luck with your new toy . . . boy . . . . enjoy !

the 8800 will be re-released in yet another version, but shall be a different number e.g. 8900 or something, and not a 8800(i) version! just whats been said at various places  thats why I got the 8800 as I thought (knew) their wouldn't be an updated version anytime in the near future!

@JN - as soon as I receive it I have already promised a short (although my posts always get longer than I expect them too!) review on it as well as sample photographs taken in various conditions, also maybe a video or two to sample the frame rate But lets not forget its not designed for those purposes so I myself am not holding too many hopes on that front, thinking I'll stick to my W800i for camera purposes when I'm out and about though!
ooh I'm getting all exceited yet again now I'm thinking about it, this is stupid, its a phone, and its a Nokia, but I want it NOW!!!

@defensive - OK ! I'll just be waiting for that review. For me, the Nokia 8800 is more of a 'show-off' mobile with inferior 'specs' . . . fortunately, you are INCLUDED in the ELITE member's LIST mate !

yeh thats what 8800 was designed for and why they used professional composers for the ringtones etc. more of a statement than a true everyday phone for me, thats why I bought it eheh!
for the sake of a few hundred quid if it gets me this excited and worked up over it then I feel thats worth it sounds selfish I know, but I don't care because I'd rather be happy and have an 8800 than never taken the oppurtunity to own one!

@defensive - YUP! I agree as well . . . as that's my very same FEEL when I wanted to OWN the Nokia 8890 and 8855 models then. UNfortunately, I only managed to acquire both 3 years after it's INITIAL launch in the market  !

@defensive
Nice phone mate, wouldn't want to swap my w800 for one ! IMO it looks good and feels nice in the hand. A friend of mine has one as he's very pleased with it

well I have the 8810 which I picked up about 3 months ago for £150 as good as new, previous owner looked after it extremely well! so that made me want the 8800 even more.
@JN - your honoured to own the Nokia 8855 Not officially available here in Europe so that makes me jealous lol
