Just spoke to Orange and the gave an RRP price of £249 and said that the release was imminent, they informed me to phone back in a couple of days, so they must be expecting it very soon, does anyone know whether Orange could release before SE Eshop???? |

The orange logo would spoil it, but to get it earlier than the 17th, have no hassle return insurance and for £249, I could live with the orange logo!

the orange logo is only on the removable flip, and says welcome to orange on startup.

Isn't the welcome to orange part actually due to the sim card?
As for the phone being avaliable soon, i would say it's unlikely as it's not even showing on their website as coming soon yet. |

Hi Caspa and all,
it looks like SE are going to try and do a simultaneous official UK release with the Sim free version and Orange version on the 17th February. I phoned SE again today and they are still saying the release will be the 24th but possibly the 17th February.

As long as it is 250 quid on upgrade then i'll get it for 175 of my lovely pounds!
But to be honest, who cares about the price...Its been a long time coming! |

The person I spoke to today at Orange said that all the details of the p800 had now become available on the orange systems, hence why she believed the release was imminent, dont know if that has any significance? |

i reserved a p800 on wed from my local orange shop, and the manager (who i used to work with) says they are going on sale on the 17th without fail. ill get a call or text the day before to confirm i still want the item, and can pick up on the 17th!!!
ill be waiting outside for opening times!!
the one prob is that he couldnt confirm the price, but i dont think itll be more than 250. |

Hope you are right... but my local Orange store told me today that it would definitely NOT be available in February, and probably not the first half of March. |

If it's available in Orange shops will it simultaneously be available in O2 or shortly after?
Cheers. |
