right the old p800 has just gone **** up again! orange are sending out a replacement but i'm due an upgrade on the 20th and quite like the p900. trouble is orange want £200 to upgrade and i don't want to pay that much so anybody know of any good deals at the minute where i could get it cheaper? preferably on a £25-30 pm tariff with at least 100mins free.

I got mine for free on Vodafone talk 100,and i then just phoned up the next day and reduced the tariff which anyone can do,obviously a new number though

scoobyboy

how much was the tariff?

I got mine FOC from Vodaphone as well as I spend lot on calls. I was able to retain my own number as they could "port" it.

I've been waiting for over 2 months to recieve my P900 from orange. They just keep saying its out of stock

so what are the chances then of saying to orange that i could get it free on vodafone albeit i will have to change the tarif but thats not really a big problem by the sounds of it and them giving it me free as well has anybody managed to do that.

got mine free from orange last month as an upgrade, tell em you can get it free if you go to another network and ask why your loyalty to orange is being rewarded by a £200 bill?

tell them you are thinking of leaving if you cant get it for free, they have a leaving dept that have more power to discount the phone.

scoobyboy

jaybird thats just the info i needed! many thanks

Scoobyboy,it doent matter how much the tariff is,because you can change it the next day!! not a lot of people know that,

The networks are now wise to this. T mobile wont let you drop down for the first 11 months, O2 for 4 months, from 1st june orange wont let you change for 6 months and voda are about to implement the 6 month rule.
Scoobyboy, if you want a good deal PM me with your requirements and I'll sort you something out.

I just got off the phone with Orange, asking if they had any P900's in stock yet, as I have been waiting 2 months.. guess what.?


non in stock yet & they dont know when they're likely to arrive either

Ive gone back to my trusty T610 as my P900 didnt work all the time with the HBC30 bluetooth car kit

Pondering what to do with P900 now, as I have an iPaq too

I have had problems with the Nokia HDW headset with the P900,very hit and miss

Jaybird-UK

Perhaps it has dodgy bluetooth

I phoned sony-ericsson about this, they said it must be my car kit and I should return it back to the fitter... when I told them I fitted it they said I could get its firmware flashed if I unistalled it and posted it to them, since it works perfectly with my T68 & T610 Im ant be bothered with stripping it out. I still reckon its the p900

dba

so do I,the headset worked perfectly with my 7650,with the p900 its intermittent at best

works ok to make calls,although I still have a problem transferring the sound to the headset,but trying to get he phone to answer itself after 5 rings into the headset is a major problem.I normally have to unset everything and then reset everything

jaycee

The problem with bluetooth is down to handset software but unfortunately SE haven't got a fix for it yet.

Madgrip- I can get you a P900 on Orange for Tuesday/wednesday if you like, PM if need be.

hmmm,and with the short product life cycle of phones i bet they aren't in a rush either.Hopefully they will post a patch on their website,thanks for letting us know

jaycee

You can count on that as the P900 replacement is out towards the end of this year.

Thanks for the offer mate, but I need to keep my number (work purposes) and Orange are letting me have one for £100, so unless you can match that I wont waste your time..

Thanks again
