okay i also heard that too, 1st batch of shipment coming 17th and 2nd batch on the 24th of this month... does this also apply for the US release? I am thinking the 17th cause that is when Opera is officially announced... maybe thats what they're waiting for... it makes sense that Opera is available on SE's site for download but yet the phone isnt released yet... so maybe thats why they waiting for the 17th... I think this is true...

what are the chances that i could go into an Orange retailer come monday and actually see a P800 let alone be able to buy it on contract?

hmmm... i think Eleventy7 just answered my question.

lol parvski, what appears to be happening is every1 is quoting various different sources, and comin up with all sorts of dates, there's various people on esato claiming to work for orange, and they're giving different dates, and then u actually speak to orange themselves and they say somethin different. All a load of arse if u ask me, i'm not gonna bother gettin me hopes up any more, will keep soldiering on with ole trusty T68i for now!

edit:
Just rang Orange meself on 0500 802080, spoke to a guy named Richard, and he said it's this month, no date coz they're not told until day b4! I asked him if he knew the price and he said they're expecting it to be £170 on contract.

Bunch of lieing arseholes methinks!

Well, Im guessing you dont have the fone to return, so you can just cancel with them?

Anyway, 170quid on contract? Thats way off the mark I think, someone is pulling your leg there mate? Unless its on the 75quid a month contract maybe!??!

Damn you guys.. this isn't news!

Its been 17th from the eshop for a good few weeks now and theres been posts on here about it for that long.

The only thing you haven't mentioned is that when I last checked with them, which was about a week ago, they said that the first batch would easily cover all of the orders to date, ie noone who had already orderred would have to wait for the second batch.

I orderred mine from there about 6 weeks ago

I doubt anyone will let you return one after unsealing it & having a play.
Everyone on here who wants one has 3 choices,
1,Travel abroad or go online & get one from oversea`s,
2,Wait untill the shops & dealers have them in window/stock, then go & buy one,
3,Keep posting on Esato stating that YOU know the truth & what you`ve heard is fact & if the shop get them on tuesday & the postman does`nt fall off his bicycle with exitement you should have it at precisely 8.04 wed morning ETC ETC...........you are surely the same people that will be moaning about sms reports & no T9, & the fact that it doesn`t suck your cock in the mornings like you read in a review..........can you all just FCUKING SHUT UP.
No offence, but i live in the UK i`m not rich & i bought a p800 about 6 weeks ago.
PS. @Eleventy7,I did`nt mean you mate !

I don't mind waiting for a proper UK one in case there is any significant difference by now, ie possibly a different hardware version.

Chill out pachy!
