Ok people calm down first, deep breaths!

Just foned to `pre-order' a p800 from the eshop, and they told me specifically the fone is now released in the UK, they are getting new stock in on or about the 20th of Feb,and I will get one the day after they come in stock.

Can someone else ring them on 08705238238 to confirm I just didnt get a stupid sales rep talking rubbish!

OK, listen to this. I just rung up Sony Ericsson E-shop, and they told me the 99% confirmed dates of the release of the P800 Sim Free and on Orange. Apparantly, Orange received their stock of units today and shall be distributing them over the weekend, in order for them to be sold by them on Monday. Sony Ericsson also confirmed that they shall be receiving their stock of units on Thursday, and that other networks will release the handset from the 24th February and onwards. I don't know about you, but this is great news!

Surely a phone is "released" when you can actually buy it and take it home?

Prob dependant on contract price tho? Im guessing he means 299 is the maximum, surely anything above that and its kinda pointless when for 200 quid more its yours sim free!

I phoned and placed my order with the UK SE Shop on Wednesday.

I was told that they would actually have the units on Monday 17th February. If I pay for next day shipping I would have it on the 18th (Tuesday) if not I would have it on the Thursday.

Are you sure when quoting Thursday you don't mean via normal delivery ? As I got the impression it could even be Tuesday (if you pay for next day).

In fact they even confirmed I should ensure I'm at home on Tuesday to sign for the package !!

Not much longer now !
