Ares, I have just checked their price again. Std price Euro 673,00. The catch is they are asking for Euro 110 for delivery. Total almost Euros 800,00...Almost UK price levels..

Just checked their site and the delivered price with UPS Express Saver was coming out at around 762 Euros which at current exchange rates (which you're not likely to actually get anyway) works out to around £515.

Just go to their homepage and the news is in a panel on the right hand side a short way down the page. No direct link to the actual news posting itself though.

I emailed them a few weeks ago about the high shipping prices. They were quoting me over 100 Euros (to USA). Think their site calculation is a bit off. Their customer service said that actual shipping would be around 75 Euros.. much better! |

Will check the stock situation with them again tomorrow.
One thing about Expansys is that if they are saying they getting plenty of stock in. t\\This actually may be te Uk version of the phone as opposed to the 'pre-launch' version mantioned previously..
It does say 'Qwerty, UK' after all... |

Can our Swedish friends confirm this?
Some stock will arrive in Denmark tomorrow but this is also sold out. Price range Euros 800,00. So it seems that the phone is expensive everywhere at the moment, sim free..

No, can't confirm that. You can still buy them here in Sweden for around 730 Euros, SIM free.
It's not OK, but almost leagal |

Keep your Expansys order and order from mphone.co.uk then check mphone tomorrow about delivery. If you get your timing wrong you may get two P990s but you can always return back to Expansys without opening the retail box.

@jah
do you know if expansys charge for restocking and if it ends up that they charge my credit card for £595 how long does it take to refund it. Dont think i can afford to have two phones on my credit card.
I was thinking of phoning mphone first thing and if they have enough stock to cover my order then i will cancel expansys and order with them. Saving £50 odd pounds would certainly help towards a bluetooth headset. |

@jmcconnell
understand. My thoughts:
1. Also try to call phones2udirect (i know other have problems but at least their phones are working now)
2. mphone will have extra stocks if not on Friday then probably on Monday
3. after initial stocks at Expansys, mphone, etc are sold i don't they have any more stocks for a few weeks. I think Expansys will have the largest stocks and will continue with the high price

@jmcconnell, expansys charge a 25% restocking fee if you have opened software only
read their returns terms and conditions here
credits to your card take around 2 weeks max though they quote up to a month

Ive pre orderd with expansy and mphone....so ill probably end up with 2 p990's
Thing im worried about though is i know if i dont like the p990 i can send the expansy order back no probs ive done this a few times.
But unsure on mphones policy do they allow you to open the phone and charge battery etc or does it have to be sealed for them to accept as a return.
This is the first ive heard of mphone....never heard/used before always used expansy for sim free phones
As anyone orderd from mphone before and returned an item with any problems at all?
Thanks

Not in the slightest. To be honest even if it means I have to wait until Monday I think it is worth it to save the £60 on the Expansys price. Expansys confrming stock also probably means that everyone else will get stock Friday too - especially as Expansys say they are going to be receiving a large quantity. |
