As of this morning it seems, the W550i can now be had on O2 for £119.99 and the K750 for £159.99 when bought with £10 airtime from CPW.
Not sure if this further reduction in price of these two SE phones is to sustain commercial interest in these models after all the news and exposure of the new SE handset launches this week or not...

Wow, in Australia the equivalent prices for the W550 and K750 are about £190 and £254. Wonder when our price drop will come?

That is cheap, especially as W550i's still sell for over £160 on ebay new.

True, although with all the Orange branding compared to say, O2.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the CPW PAYG stock theoretically sim-free?(although some have CPW start-up/shut-down menus & wallpapers.)
I've bought a Panasonic VS6 and Sagem myX6-2 and my nephew a Motorola C139 from CPW, and all are unlocked as standard. Only the choice of PAYG network SIM caused the price to fluctuate.

id take the o2 enn personally,

@amawanqa (nice nick!)
All CPW K750i and W550i handsets are not locked and unbranded. There are still a few network-branded handsets knocking around CPW (PDA phones, network exclusives etc) but generally speaking the vast majority are not and indeed the only difference in price is due to to choice of PAYG sim.
