How much did they charge you for the handset MM?

£99.99 butter, but I know you've bought yours already! What did you pay? Want to have a dirty video call? :evil:

Blimey, 21 pages on a phone, how sad are we?

Sorry about all your traumas Mitch, hope you can get one next week - it'll be all worth it when it arrives

Jay · May 20, 2006

Anyone used the disc that comes with it? mine doesn't seem to be working :S

Jay · May 20, 2006

£49.99 my tariff I had on Virgin was dogshit and this one on orange is 900% better, plus they gave me £80 back for ANY phone. I took a shitty 3330 down which was a bonus as well. Loads of free texts and mins for the first 6 months as well!

I finally managed to have a play with a N80 today. Lovely phone, great screen and a nice size. having said all of that I'm not convinced that I really need to own one of these though. It doesn't offer lots more than the 6630 I own or the N70 which I could get for free with a amazing contract (750 xnet anytime minutes and 750 texts per month for £20). The earlier Symbian phones also benefit from having far more software available and are not handicapped by software requiring to be digital signed.

I was confused about what to do before, even worse now

M1TCH · May 20, 2006

I had to ring of my own doing today, why the f**k they don't ring you when they hear something I dont know.

anyway I spoke to a love girl called ermm claire I think, anyway she said there was a message back from support and I hadnt paid for the phone.

Now I have and the phone has been dispatched for here monday, latest tuesday

sneeks · May 20, 2006

Excellent news and about time

The N80 is smaller than the photos suggest, very stylish.

M1TCH · May 20, 2006

really

I was worried it was gonna be too big, especially with the buttons down.

Revels · May 20, 2006

Its not as big as I was expecting! Ive had a play with Racing Blues!

Should have stolen it! lol

sneeks · May 20, 2006

You don't really worry about the size of it with the buttons down nd it's not very tall. Quite a thick phone but nothing terribly bad.

sn00p · May 20, 2006

It's sexy as hell.

Mine was dispatched saturday mitch and arrived monday! We expect regular updates on the situation!

And the phone

I'm glad you didn't steal it, after waiting 8 months for it I'd be gutted! I just wish I had a better signal at my house.

M1TCH · May 21, 2006

lol enough of that RB!

this is a geeky phone thread not a....

anyway I'm gonna ring again tomorrow to check it all went through cos the card I used for my payments is having ermm a few problems at the mo

lol. I've never heard of a woman being so excited and waiting for the release of a phone!

M1TCH · May 21, 2006

and shes hardly gonna use the thing!

Revels · May 21, 2006

lol, shes uber popular really!

Its now got some very dodgy music on it aswel!

Chili Red · May 21, 2006

Nothing dodgy about the Baywatch theme

I will use it!!

Sorry Mitch..back to the geek-speak

It is one very sleek phone though, it'll be a while before I see a better one. Even the K800i (out in July-ish) isn't as good.

sneeks · May 21, 2006

I'll have 18 months with the N80 so it better be good

M1TCH · May 21, 2006

i couldnt be with the same phone for 18 months. they change so much over 12 months anyway.

M1TCH · May 21, 2006

corr they must love me in their call centre!! lol

just phoned to make sure my phone has been dispatched and it has

wooo hope it comes tomorrow!

sneeks · May 21, 2006

I've had my current phone for close on 18 months so I'm sure I'll manage to keep the N80 that long. I used to change my phone nearly every month but I've got over that now

Andy_con · May 21, 2006

18 month contract arent good

thats £35 for a further 6 months - total £210

its cheaper to pay £50 for the phone on a 12 moth contract

sneeks · May 21, 2006

I'm not paying £35 though, only £27 and for that I get a free N80, 750 xnet anytime minutes and 750 texts. At that price I'd be stupid not to accept, even the guys in Phones4U gave up trying to sell me a contract when they heard what deal I'd been offered.

Revels · May 21, 2006

Whos that with? Was than an upgrade deal they offered to make you stay?

Yes that was a offer from o2 when I threatened to cancel.

Revels · May 21, 2006

Good good, I'll be remembering that!

ok £27 x 6 is 162

seems alot for 6 months

I don't think it is considering the value the tariff alone represents. The phone is not the only benefit here.

true, but just upgrade after 12 months and keep the same tariff

RSi Dave · May 21, 2006

My mate has just got one from orange for FREE. not to sure on the contract but tbh looking at them if O2 dont upgrade me for FREE then im going to orange.

M1TCH · May 21, 2006

I doubt he did. they wont give them for free and they arent for new customers either, beleive me I tried mate.

oh yeah I didnt tell you peeps, on thursday I got called for a customer service report because of my abusive call on the tuesday evening opps! lol

sneeks · May 21, 2006

Sounds like you were right to be abusive, did they apologise?

Andy a 18 month deal will be fine for me, saves me having to go through the nightmare process of choosing a new handset in 12 months time

M1TCH · May 21, 2006

lol nah they didnt appolagise, I just had to answer questions on how the operator handled my call haha.

anyway I'm getting straight on the phone as soon as its here to get some compensation, hopefully a months line rental or something. I got a complimentary £30 off last year when I complained about my bill changing which was actually my fault hehe

sneeks · May 21, 2006

Which N80 owners will be at the FCS? I need to plan my targets well in advance!

M1TCH · May 21, 2006

targets?

M1TCH · May 21, 2006

I cant beleive peeps are paying so much for these on ebay lol nutters http://phones.search.ebay.co.uk/n80...ZQQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ3QQsbrftogZ1QQsofocusZbs

Yeah as in who to steal from or mug

Disclaimer: I should clarify that I am joking so don't blame me if something like this actually happens.

sneeks · May 21, 2006

I've sold several phones on ebay in the past and I've always been amazed that people have sometimes paid me more for a secondhand phone than it would have cost them to buy a the same brand new and sim free handset in store. Weird.

Try it and I'll b**ch slap you into last week

sneeks · May 21, 2006

Ok I'll strike you from the list. Last week was a bad week so I don't want to go back there.
