you'll be waiting a while, it didnt come in stock today

stephen1980 · 26-06-2006, 18:47

looks nice, but no walkman button, I use the walkman button more than I use the camera button. But other than that I would love to own one.

Not worried, still have my trusty k750i to use.

scouse_j · 26-06-2006, 22:52

That because its a K model more Camera based, If you want a walkman phone you need to go for the W models.

Perhaps because it's not a Walkman phone?

The.Mole · 27-06-2006, 18:36

I'm interested in upgrading to this, has anyone had any look with getting this free from O2 on upgrade?

Operation Wolf · 27-06-2006, 19:01

just threaten to leave them,then you should be able to get your k800i,thats what I do just for your pak code to transfer your number and usually they offer you what you want within in reason

Taylz · 29-06-2006, 19:32

O2 are doing my head in..i also pre-ordered, on the 20th june...they had it in stock this week so i rung up yesterday to enquire about delivery and they told me it would be despatched today to come tomorrow(friday).. i rang up earlier today to confirm that it had been despatched and they said NO, it was out of stock and id have it next week! shocking or what?...especially when i pre-ordered, you would think you would get it when released!!..... Anyway ive now ordered it with '3' on a much better deal and should hopefully have it saturday!

daddycool · 03-07-2006, 09:59

I've been offered this for £49.99 on o2, plus £10 off monthly line rental for a year, I'd rather have an N80 but this seems like a good deal.

Finglonga · 03-07-2006, 10:23

O2 say the K800i Will be in stock on the 4th..Not going with '3' even if they have them in stock..Been there done that..never again.

daddycool · 03-07-2006, 10:37

I was told about an hour ago that the phone is in stock.

Finglonga · 03-07-2006, 15:47

Yep and my phone came a couple of hours ago.

Nice bit of kit.

Got to have a play now.

SamDavis · 03-07-2006, 17:00

So to clarify, are these phones currently in stock with O2? I want it!!

RSWorld · 03-07-2006, 17:00

Yep, I also got mine this morning.

It's a fantastic phone, guys!

The.Mole · 03-07-2006, 17:28

Phoned to upgrade mine this afternoon. They said it's out of stock but should be in tomorrow.
Got it for the upgrade price of £79.99, which I refused at first, but when I was put through to the cancellation line, he offered me £10 off my line rental for 12 months, saving me £120, which doesn't make sense really as they'll be worse off after 12 months. They should have just given me the phone free!
Has anyone managed to get this free on upgrade?

daddycool · 03-07-2006, 17:45

I got it today on upgrade as well. Phoned this morning and was told £49.99 with the £10 off every month and said I'd think about it. Called back later to take them up on it, she tried to charge me £79.99 but I said £49.99 and she agreed. Will apparently be here by Wednesday, if not I'll be complaining.

schnadi_uk · 03-07-2006, 18:36

I coughed up the £49.99 but got the online 400 tariff for £30 instead of £45! I'm having problems with the phone already though. When i turn the phone on it says inactive sim?! Any ideas?

Cheers,
Paul

You have to ring them to let them know you've recieved the phone. They'll activate your SIM - it's to prevent people using your phone incase or error in delivery.

The.Mole · 03-07-2006, 20:10

How come you have to be provided with a new SIM for 3G?
Do the new SIM's contain any undeletable phone numbers like they shove on PAYG? I used to hate those! Otherwise I'll just keep my standard non 3G SIM with no ads for 118500 etc!

jammers · 04-07-2006, 23:07

I got a free upgrade off o2 when I threatened to leave - it came today plus I stick with a 12 month contract - £35 o2 250 with double mins and texts for 3 months - not bad.

The.Mole · 06-07-2006, 18:53

Got the phone this morning. Amazing. They've improved on the k750i in every way. Build quality is excellent, screen is bigger, no stickers that make it look cheap. The only question I have is I can't figure out what the permanent blueish icon is at teh top left of the screen. Does anyone have any ideas??

imno12u · 06-07-2006, 19:04

Out of stock from the Orange stock already. Although, the same thing did happen with the K700, and the K750 when they came out.
