Just talked to SE rep. The rep. said that they will not be doing what they did for P800 i.e. promised a release date and then kept pushing back that date. Apprently the phones have been released or is going to be released to service providers for customizations etc.
So I guess May 12 or whatever could be a global release date.
I have mine pre-ordered on expansys.us

Well I kept pushing SE for a firm date and they said that it was real sooon. That is where the discussion about P800 came up. So I hope the real soon turns out to be mid may.

Well to get that lame response I sent the this :"Why is it that i've heard that Swedish shops are receiving the T610 on May 12th, yet the best date i can get for the UK is sometime in June? Why is it always that the UK must get the phones late, like the P800?" I don't think they like me anymore

I think Orange UK already have it, and are waiting for a global launch (perhaps?) on May 12. At least I hope so since I have planned to pick mine up on the 17th. |

Problem is, i can't buy it on contract, (i'm too young) so i need to buy it sim-free. This may take longer. |

SE are always non-commital - end of q2 is probably best you will get or early quarter 3 but i expect 10 days |

Look at it from their perspective - if they give a definite date (a la Neonode) and then break it (a la Neonode), then people will lose faith in the company and go elsewhere (a la Neonode) |

And at least SE is willing to acknowledge they had a problem with P800. |

But also with the P800 they added alot tothe phone, and that cost them alot of thedelay. Like the extended memory they added. And well thep800 would be shit without that so i dont blame them. |

I'm fine with delay, but i'm having to sell my T68i to get enough money, so it's having no phone that annoys me!
Do sim free phones tend to be released before they're on the networks or vice versa, or at the same time? (I haven't pre-ordered a phone before )
