Guest Brody Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 It started less than 24 hours ago! Besides, we may not use that one actually..
Guest karmapolice Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I to got that email this morning....I just spoke to a girl at Phone4u and was told that they do have stock but there all allocated and if you recieved that email its safe to say that you've got one... :)
Guest Brody Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I just rung to cancel mine as i price matched and didn't fancy having 2! They told me to email them yesterday so I did and confirmed it via phone this morning!
Guest karmapolice Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Cool...so there is one more phone available Brody...who did u price match with ?
Guest Brody Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 The Carphone Warehouse, took in a screenshot printed out, I rang in advance to confirm they would match it (although others have had problems, The Link seems a better bet). I went into the store and the first sales assistant said they couldn't match web deals so I said that i had just spoken to a store member over the phone who said i could and i got passed onto that person who put it through for me! P.S. How big are the 3 contract forms! :)
Guest Martin@Home Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I to got that email this morning....I just spoke to a girl at Phone4u and was told that they do have stock but there all allocated and if you recieved that email its safe to say that you've got one... :) WooHoo ! Expecting a phonecall today then !!! :o :P :( :lol: PS Is that the paranoid android sleeve as your avatar ?
Guest vijay555 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 can someone tell me: apart from the geek factor, are these things good for anything. i'm craving for one, but that's the "me-too" in me. But, can it play mps, what kinda storage, what kinda photos, any free sms, any free minutes in the PAYG? You're all getting one, but what for? It'll be scratching up my shiny e100 even if i could fit it in my pocket! I do want one, just tell me why! V
Guest Brody Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 it plays wma not mp3, has 64 meg internal mem not upgradeable, no free sms or mins on PAYG type contract.
Guest The Futures Bright Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 So basically they are useless toys unless you wish to pay more for calls on top of your Orange contract? I'd rather get one for £25 a month and get 500 mins of calls a month to any network i think, now, when is my Orange contract up? :mrgreen:
Guest vijay555 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 it says expandable mem. i mean, it'd be nice to stick it in the car as a cheap wma/mp3 player, and £10 is the price of headphones now a days, but still, have to throttle back, spv 2 coming soon :wink: Nah, i love my e100, truly i do.. V anyone got more reasons why i should shell out my hard earned cash :)
Guest Brody Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 It does say expandable memory but that is notin the format of flash memory so i am not too sure what it refers to atm!
Guest vijay555 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 as in "surface mount chips" removable!? khh, i guess the bluetooth comes with supplied dental paint applicator too? V
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Heh, ok Expandable memory: No Bluetooth: No Sorry guys. But, it does have 64 meg of internal storage. But I whacked 24 meg of my SPV'd wma's on and it took up 14 of 100 "slots". So you do the maths... Theres also the £10 free content a month for 3 months, fun to play with, and you can mess around with videocalling a bit.... Also, to put the cost of video calling into perspecitve. On Orange, 1 MMS is ~42p (or similar). That gets you 1 picture, 1 small audio clip and one snippet of text. For approximately the same cost on 3, you get about a minute of streaming, realtime video and audio, and you can take a snapshot and email it on later. I know which i'd rather spend my cash on :) Also the call charges at peak time are cheaper on my 3 contract than my Orange contract...
Guest toadvox Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I got two from CPW yesterday evening. Printed out the form from Phone4U but they didn't even want to see it. They said they knew about the deal and just priced matched! Nice. Here's a couple of forums to take a look at if you havent already! People are trying to find a way to hack the PC transfer software etc to upload Java stuff via the PC. The Aussies seem to know a lot more than we do about them! Maybe some of you cleve bods can figure out how to make these things pay for themselves!! :-) www.3gwhizz.com www.aussie3g.com
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I've had my email as well :) now to see how good the 3G service is :? for the price it's worth the risk :o
Guest stevewright Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I ordered one, and I got my email on Monday. Anybody know when I might receive my call?
Guest amo Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Can any one post a screenie or copy of a print out (pre sold out notification) as i dont think anyone will price match if theres no stock :/ MUCH appreciated...
Guest karmapolice Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Yeah a print out of the £9.99 offer would be cool...iam gonna try a few CPW to price match tomorrow...anyone know off a CPW in London that does? cheers people Karmapolice
Guest Swift_gti Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 ordered mine monday too, still haven't had my phonecall :cry:
Guest mrkenny18 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Hi Could somone who knows or owns one of these phones, tell me what the 10 pound inclusive 'thing' is, cheers Ian
Guest amo Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 We're just trying to establish _EXACTLY_ what it is. I will post my definete findings tomorow
Guest Simon Desser Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I felt a bit left out, so I just went to CPW and got one. It was the last one they had in the branch. I asked the guy to price match, and showed him the print out, but he said they won't price match websites :P Luckily I had their "Price Promise" ripped out from their brochure and told him that it says in here you do 8) QUOTE " We also match bona fide prices offered through online website retailers or telephone retailers up to a maximum of £50.00" So what could he do? he gave it me for £9.99 :o I asked him if I could pay the £9.99 on Interest Free Credit and he fell off his stool :)
Guest karmapolice Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Did he give you the Bo**ox "We cant match the price cos Phone4u dont have it in stock" ?
Guest Simon Desser Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Did he give you the Bo**ox "We cant match the price cos Phone4u dont have it in stock" ? Nope :) He just wanted to go home :o I've been asked for the printout from the phone4u website which I think I left in the shop :oops: I might have one at work tomorrow :?: But, this should help, here's a copy of CPW receipt which clearly shows they sold it me for £9.99 with a £40.00 discount :PNEC E808 Receipt.jpg
Guest karmapolice Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Cool...thanks man..iam gonna go into CPW armed with that reciept and get me a Nec 808 for £9.99. By the way whats the phone like are you happy with it ? cheers Karmapolice
