K700i at Arogs

linkinpark875 · 02-10-2005, 12:45

I have tried every store local to me to find the K700i on O2 and they are all out of stock, it is half price only £75 anybody else had this problem with Argos? They told me they don't know when they will get stock back in.

It appears its out of stock in all stores...you can't even order online.
Having worked at Argos once, we only knew if stock was coming in 3 days before it arrived. So you'll probably need to keep checking online and reserve it from there.

I've just bought a Sony Ericsson K300i on Orange brand new for just £49.99 on the amazon.co.uk website. They have sold piles of them and they've been getting rave reviews. I bought mine last week and delivery time was "normally 1 to 2 days", now it's "1 to 2 weeks"!
I never expected the phone to be as good as it is. It's fantastic and looks and behaves like a phone three times the price!

The link is here

i gotta admit, that phone looks good....

you cannot comapre a k300i to a k700i mate, the k300 and k500i are ok but they dont come close to the k700i, the k700i sharper screen, bigger memory, bluetooth and better look. its my second phone with my main one being my new w800i

linkinpark875 · 02-10-2005, 15:58

Anybody know of anywhere else that does the k700i cheap?

I tried too and got nothing for my troubles. This looked a really good deal - radio, camera, music player, video player plus decent games etc etc etc. It disappeared off their website pretty quickly and the code for this item was quoted in their recent flyer as the £99 T-Mobile version.

Almost looks like the deal that never was...........

linkinpark875 · 02-10-2005, 17:08

It is still on the website:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/5472217.htm

You can get an instore pick up for the K700i on T-mobile for £79.99.

I need it on o2.

Will the deal come back?

MDX · 02-10-2005, 17:38

My local Argos had 4 Instock on Friday (Keighley Store in West Yorkshire)

linkinpark875 · 02-10-2005, 17:40

Can Argos not post me one out then?

They said they had no idea when it would be back in stock and no local stores have it.

Why not get it on T-mobile and pay £5-10 to get it unlocked

still pretty cheap

I think you need to debrand it too from all the T-Zones stuff, and you get the T-mobile bit under the cover so I would need a new cover.

But maybe if the O2 one does not come back in stock I might get the T-Mobile one.

P.S it is out of stock anyway and no nearby stores have it.

Also got Argos vouchers to use up so need to get it from Argos anyway.

obee100 · 02-10-2005, 19:04

Ebay is always another option for these phones.

linkinpark875 · 03-10-2005, 19:02

Went in today out of stock, they said choose another o2 phone and most were out of stock...

craggers · 03-10-2005, 19:06

planetnokia · 03-10-2005, 19:35

Don't despair. After xmas they will be selling the K750 at rock-bottom prices and that an even better mobile!

From Argos?

craggers · 03-10-2005, 20:52

yeah from argos, 547/2217? i got a tip for u, try reserving the item upto abt 20-30mins after the store has closed,as soon as the store system is closed down, any reservations that run out that night go back into main stock ready to be reserved again for anyone, try then.
