I have a "UK" P800. There is no "UK" specific customization or special software. The only thing is when you select a language for the phone UK English is the only choice available. ope this helps. And, yes, the "import" phone batch I bought was specifically designed for the UK - down to the charger plug!

Thats all very well except without some special software version, it is unlikely to ever get released on Orange, as it doesn't have line 2 support!

I have just spoken to the SE E shop and they still do not have a confirmed date even today the 24th. I spoke to Emma and then to her manager Adam. He advised SE could not release the unit sim free until a networked had released the phone and that was orange, they took all the free stock for the UK and re badged it. The stock the SE shop are waiting for has some new features !!??, A digital zoom function and improved night picture capability. Once they have delivery details he is going to email me the expected date.

Woohooooo! I hope the details on the new camera features are right. Haha, take that Orange, in your face . Well, it will be worth the wait if the P800 is going to be better Sim free.

Will I ever get this phone !

I've just phoned SE UK and they have gone from saying sometime during 17th to 24th. To now saying 'We don't have a confirmed date' and are no longer sure when you will receive it !!

Does anyone know when CPW will receive P800's (unlocked) and have them for sell. As I'm starting to wonder if I should go somewhere else.

This is so frustrating !

Oh dear, that doesn't sound good.

I've just phoned the e-shop too. Spoke to Justin. He said they were still expecting the handsets in today. They still dont have a confirmed delivery date, but they should be there today, or sometime this week. He said that someone there had e-mailed SE (in either sweden or denmark - I cant remember which) asking for confirmation of delivery, but they hadn't received it yet.

He did say that anyone that has pre-ordered will have their handsets shipped out with next day delivery, and that if they arrive before 1pm (unlikely if they usually get the delivery at 2pm) they'll be shipped the same day as they get them.

Looks like different stories at the e-shop.

At this rate going to CPW may be the only option. I guess SE UK still haven't had the phone delivery as I haven't been charged yet.

Its pathetic now, I spoke to emma today, and she sounded really pissed off. Now they dont know when they are coming, hopefully this week, but could be next week now she says...

Im getting REALLY sick of this.

Hi,

I guess Emma may have been right all along. When I first rang the SE Eshop at the beginning of February she said it would be delivered the first week of March. If that will end up being correct then they should have all stuck to that story all along (Justin, Emma etc).

It's pretty ridiculous that SE are not announcing the reasons for the delay and not announcing an offical release date. We should all bombard their service desk with questions about it ....
