Is this a definite then ? No-one I've spoken to seems to be able to verify this ...

After all this mucking around they wont confirm ANYTHING until they are on the shelf, i`d be there before they open if i were you because it seems everyone is buying it, including staff from other phone shops where the p800 isn`t being released.
Since i got mine i`ve had to beat girls off with a stick

In all likelyhood, will the CarPhone Warehouse have them on O2 on Monday too?

Thanks.

I would doubt that bigtime.

At a guess, I would say the end of week beginning 24th feb for normal CPW stores... maybe the bigger ones will have them a few days earlier.

Just a guess and I can't back that up at all.. but let's see....

Where is this info coming from? Every time I phone orange (either E-shop or high street shop) they still have no firm details on their system and say the system would normally show up info regarding the phone min. 2 weeks prior to release!

Correction!

Just phoned the local Orange shop & saleswoman said they have it down for delivery week commencing 10th Feb (this Week!).

Said to keep calling each day as it could come in anytime this week. They usually only get costs when phones are available to sell.

Apparently high street shops work different to e-shop.

I am astonished at how something as simple as a phone can have such mystery about it?

It will definately be on Orange this Friday, only to Orange direct I think and possibly orange shops for around 299.99-349.99. It was in todays mobile news.
