well i waited that long because:
a) yes, it is an awesome price tbh
I spend about £35/month on my normal TMobile tariff and this will basically cost me £110 (£70 handset + 4 x £10 diff on monthly tariff) that's the way I rationalise it anyway 
b) changing network back to Orange and keeping my existing mobile number hasnt cost me any extra - I've been waiting over a year for a decent phone to replace my existing T68i and figured a couple of weeks wouldn't make that much difference.
Mind you, I was beginning to think I'd never get the damn thing.
I called up Onestopshop every couple of days and got the same old bullshit you lot had been getting. Cancelled order owing to "account issues" - "yes we're very hopeful to be getting an order of phones in next monday/wednesday/friday etc"
To actually get it now, and before xmas, is a big bonus 
Almost worth the wait!
Just getting used to the thing now - the movie recorder is quite good isnt it? 
Havnt worked out how to transfer saved movies across to the pc using the cradle yet, or worked out how to draw a "D" without getting 9's or 0's but on the whole im quite impressed!

trick is, do a small "d" near the bottom of screen = a small d
do a small "d" half way up the screen = a Capital D
numbers are input by drawing them at the top of the screen.
If you like the idea of moviies on the phone then it wont be long before you need a 128mb Duo, £41.89 at Amazon.

You (OK, I) will be pleased to hear that my P900 has arrived. I will now change my picture (the one under my username)
THE END (unless it's faulty (probably))
I am now happy. Dunno how long to charge it for though (will five mins do?) |

I am pleased for all of you who have been waiting so long for your P900s. Please make sure you let the battery charge 12/14 hrs - there have been many posts here about people who just charged for 2 hours and are now having problems with battery life. You just need to wait another half a day.

im in a similar sort of boat to u guys
except with www.e2save.com
exact same as onestopphoneshop
ive only been waiting a couple of weeks though
phoning them as i write this too see if they have any in stock
/me sings along to stuck in the middle with you as music on hold. Kind of ironic, Clowns to the left, jokers to the right and all that
They got stock in today and more tomorrow. Should get Monday/tuesday at the latest. Ill call them Sunday if I dont get it and tell them that if its not here bbefore xmas they can "suck my fat one !"(name the film that quote was from for bonus points) |

Well 18 or so pages later and there we have it... the majority, it seems are happy once again!...
Congratulations to all of you who got one through the door and will do for the nest few days... we all love that Stork hey !
Ady... that's one less pressie for Santa to bring now then, he will be pleased i am sure! (I wonder if OSPS would treat him similarly?:-))
12-16 hours to charge... well if you have waited weeks, moving into months, for the damned thing to arrive, you just as well wait a few more hours to charge it properly... YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO SEND IT BACK NOW WOULD YOU? 'cos of a dodgy battery thats empty in an hour...
Best make sure you look after it as this must be the worst time of year to buy something like this... think of all the late night parties (P900 and alcohol...i.e. being dropped in it, do not good partners make), and the trips in taxis (keep a careful eye on the belt clip of the accompanying case!), whilst sage and onion stuffing will have not a nasty, but rather irremovable, habit of getting into the corners of yer screen (worse still could be the lodging of your beloved (the phone of course) up the rear end of the said Turkey a la Mr Bean's head... Just check before putting it into the oven, thats all i'll say!)
There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.

Does "Stand By Me" get bonus points ?
back on topic, if the only interest is in the hardware and
not in the contract is not the cheapest way to get a P900
to go for a free phone on a high tariff that can be
reduced immediately ?
I gather that it is possible to do this through O2, Link and
Carphone warehouse outlets.
Is it also possible to do through their online stores ?
Or should I just stick with the highly praised OSPS.
