Nokia N80

Got my N80 ordered from onestopphoneshop.com.
On 02, 250 mins and 100 texts (500 min and 200 text for the first 3 months) £35 a month and the phone was £30.
It was out of stock, but I rang them last night to see what was going on.
The nice chap on the phone told me that they get their phones from carphonewarehouse and were expecting a delivery last night. I should have it by tomorrow (saturday) or monday.
He also told me that they get them in sim free, so it's not locked and will accept any sim card. Great for re-selling after you contract is up!

One thing I find annoying....
No autolock but it auto unlocks when opening the case, no option to enable autolock either?! :-$
And if you don't lock it, then when you quick press the power button to bring up the menu, I think the first option should be lock rather than power off. I keep turning the phone off by accident!

Had it since monday!
Very cool, liking it a lot, but then I did just come from a SPV C500 so anything would be an upgrade from that! (windows mobile)
Not so keen on this "symbian signed" thing, as far as I can understand pressure was put on them to do this by the mobile phone networks so that people wern't installing rubbish software and then phoning up their network (support) to ask why their phone doesn't work.
There's a few pieces of software I'd like to write for it, but they've got differing tiers of "signing" depending on what features you make use of - the more features you use, the more it costs to get your certificate to allow development, then if you want to distribute it needs to be tested by them ($$$) and then signed with their certificate so that others can install & run it. It would however appear that signing of freeware products is free.
There doesn't appear to be a developer mode that allows running of unsigned code either, which is a pity.

Ohhh is THAT what it is? Yeah I'll never use 3g either, so I've just stuck my old sim in it, and it works fine. I'm dying to get loads of songs put on it, haven't had a proper chance to play with it due to lengthy trip to Ikea last night.
The prices on O2 sound horrendous, glad I stayed with Orange - they haven't billed me yet either, I hope they forget to (somehow I doubt they will).
Not liking the look of those upgrade prices! They can go forth and multiply if they think im paying that!!
Went to 4 phone shops today, none had the N80 in stock!!
Think I might be changing to Orange/Voda! Whos got one with them? Have theyre own software and changes like they normally do? I know I can get it flashed, but its easier if it comes good to start with!

wish I'd just done this.
I'm really fucked off now!!!
you know they had problems with my card details not being saved etc and I was told it would be sent out and I would receive it today.......yeah you guessed it no f**king N80 here!!
well phone them very pissed off as mums been waiting around for it all day, and only to get told again that theres a problem and they are mailing support (exactly what I got told on wednesday!) also I'm not going to get it till mon/tues!! grrr
being very pissed off after that call I've gone through to customer services and am now claiming compensation for being messed about!!
lucky I did cancel my other contract on tuesday hey...

nah this is all because I havent paid for the phone (basically they got my card details messed up and its not been debited so they wont dispatch the phone) but why should I have to chase them up for something theyve fucked up.
I was told the payment went through so I'm not now going to accept they fucked up they can send it to me for free.
I just phoned them again and was told that support have been contacted and to ring again after 9am to find out if anything is happening. if not I'm going to phone orange colchester and go and get one and cancel that other one!!

Yey! Got my N80 today, but I have to admit registering the bugger taken me an hour!
first of all got through (after 20mins) to some non english speaking person saying can't help you you need to ring such and such..... tried again......... 17 mins wait this time... and got through to the same non english speaking person again :S so hung up
Tried a different number (waited 10 mins) told the guy (english speaking) I wanted to keep my pay as you go number on the new phone / contract. Ok he said, but another department do that, I'll register your phone for you now. Done, so rang the "other department" told them the situation, oh can't have your pay as you go number now because the new phone has been registered! so I'm stuck with a new number.
But there is one positive outcome, my dad is having my old 6230 pay as you go with my old number.
Had a little play with the N80 - thumbs up so far.
Sorry to hear you didn't get your N80 Mitch.
