I thought the situation was that the w900 would be exclusivly on Voda until Feb or March and then the other networks would join in but so far no other networks have released this ? Is this becasue of the imminent launch of the k800 or does no othr network want this handset?

Shame really as it had great video capture

Also a quick question for those who own one. Is the lens embedded like in the w810 as there is no shutter or is that the actual lens exposed.

in the high street the only place you'll get a w900 is at a voda store...and only in white.

by the time you can get the w900 on other networks, the k800 will probably be out

have been told that no other network eg via the network themselfs or via the highstreet, will be selling it on any other network other then vodafone, as black one was never ment for the uk. still leaves the possability for it to be released on other networks in white....or do as i have, buy a unbranded and unlocked vodafone one?

@The Lostprophet, if u really want a W900i then go to http://www.mobileshop.com/mob[....]sson-W900i.php/nwrk/A/ttype/A/
They offer this phone for free if u sign a o2 250 contract for 12 months and it work out for £420 for 12 months. At least u could get free minutes and 12 months warranty for the phone.
