Well my car was MOT'd today and didn't bust my bank account. So seeing as the G900 is the phone of my choice as it has no GPS (Don't want this as I have a bluetooth GPS and om Tom) I am after one. I want to buy a UK spec one so no import model. The choices of place of purchase I can see are Play.com or Expansys.
Is there anywhere else to buy from? Which shop would you guy's recommend, the price is the same at both of them, I got my P1i from expansys, the phone had the Irish CDA on it though, but then again looking at the CDA list the P1i doesn't have a UK spec firmware. |

Be careful of Play.com. I know of a T650 which was bought from there that had a Swiss CDA and had to be reflashed via Davinci.
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose  |

Thanks Rookwise, I was a bit sceptical of Play as I know they have been late on delivery's recently. I went with my head and pre-ordered from Expansys as I got my P1i from them and they are pretty good. They also advertise the phone as UK spec. It will probably come with the Irish CDA which is good enough, better then Swiss anyway!!! |

I want to buy the se g900 sim free uk spec. I have found two websites who are doing the uk spec ones they are mobilefun and expansys. But they both will take over 2 weeks to delivery due to shortage of the phones.
I dont want to try play.com because of the things I have heard.
Does anyone know where else I can get this phone from? as I really want it and have been waiting a long time for it.

My CDA is:
Phone - 1203-6566 R9L004
Bluetooth - 1200-5567 R1D
Organizer - 1203-8784 R6H815
CDA - 1207-6480 R3a
I ran it through the SE updater service and there was no new version and it stated the firmware as Custom UK  |

I've been waiting for this phone to come out on O2 for ages. i think i read somewhere it's the 9th August now.
I've found it at Plemix.com for £234, though so to the person that spent nearly £300 on it from Play, you might be a bit annoyed, sorry! The pictures at the bottom show it comes with a UK charger.

dont worry, saw it on plemix when they got it a while back.... if you do order, one thing to note is that as its a parralel import you dont get your warranty... which nowadays is 24 months! |

Ah i see. I guess i'll have to wait for it to come out on O2 then. Damn it, i can't wait much longer. My K800i is going a bit weird on me. Thanks for the info though. |

Hi Barny
I got mine via Plemix too --- and there's also a post delivery tax to pay to keep HMRC happy! So the original price isn't the bottom line...
However, mine is still with all the original wrapping and I'm selling because I cant get the PC connectivity I want. So if you're interested please PM me...
I know this isn't a sales forum - it's just that I've spent 3 days of sync grief and I'm not going to spend any longer.... The phone is great - it's just the PC connectivity that I cant get right...
