I have a P800 that I bought from a Swedish site for $636 + shipping. I have R1B and the typical errors - people can barely hear me when I talk to them. Called support here in the US and they "can't" upgrade the software until the phone is not released. Such crap. Of course they could if they wanted to. But anyway, they didn't know when it would be released so I called the online store. They said "Release is confirmed for March 15, if you order now you'll probably get it in the first two weeks of April".
That means I will have to either go buy a phone so I can have conversations for the next 3 weeks, or I will have to pay some guy to have it flashed

@svenblocklandt
Thanks for the info.
That is exactly what I am worried about regarding buying from 3rd party now. How do you upgrade in the US? Where are the Sony centers that will facilitate the upgrades? What is the latest versions? Man SE sucks right now! |

i'm really f**kin ticked off at SE for these damn delays, they keep stalling the damn release dates, what the f**k is the hold up for this? Sigh, Arghhhh, I'm thinking about just f**kin cancelling my order and go buy me a printer or something, I'm tired of all this damn waiting, arghh... even the SE corp division said this week, and i asked them are you for sure this time and they said yes, f**k, maybe the corp is the same shit as the stupid customer reps, f**kin nobody knows shit... sigh, SE you are really pissing me off... I never had such delay in waiting for something this long in my entire life... this is really ridiculous of you guys, I hope somebody from SE are reading these damn threads!!! |

Are there any online retailers that have the p800 available now?
I know that http://www.expansys.com is still waiting for inventory. Price $722.25 US. Firmware version unknown but probably the latest.
http://www.mobilefly.com claims to have some in stock but requires paypal with a 3.85% surcharge. Price $735.00 US. Firmware version R1D.
http://www.gsmphonesource.com/cellphonespecials.html. Price $899.00 US. Firmware version unknown but software updates included (not sure if this includes firmware flashes)..
Any other vendors out there?

What's the hurry? Just wait until amazon.com have it with rebates for about half the price or less.
I got my t68i for free with rebates from amazom and I'm hoping they do the same with the P800. |

Anyone have an idea of what the hold up is? I have contacted SE e-shop on this issue and still no reply after several inquires. Is this a quality control issue or a design issue (ie./ cr@ppy manufacture issues or change in some major factor - like a better camera)? I have been waiting for this phone since its original expected release in September 2002. SE has only hurt itself from this poor management. I would have bought a T68i to carry me over but I expected the damn p800 any week. I am still stuck with a T39 which is in bad shape. I will never rely on SE again. If 2nd qtr of 2003 is indeed the date, then scr#w it, I'm buying a nokia. |

my feelings exactly
if anything i'm going to buy a nokia just to spite SE
if i ran a company this badly and all of my employees were this uninformed the company would fail in a heart beat. |
