thunderstorm, 29 May 2008they do them in carphone warehouse, got mine on orange today in store! you have to ask them it... moreDamn right...thunderstorm lol....and its a tough call secret vs F480... i love the secrets looks just as much as the 480 but i do like the secrets ui...the "entertainment sections of the phone are fully touch where general use is not... both fantastic phones. contract wise though the f480 is a cheeper pcm cost (off the top of my head), from 30 squids both 02 and orange..
Samsung f480 everytime Rob, Anything less than touchscreen is a step in the wrong direction at the moment i think!!

co-h i was in a similar situation to you, my voda contract is up mid june also. i think they may brand it with their crap i cant see any other reason. ive jumped ship to orange.
they do them in carphone warehouse, got mine on orange today in store! you have to ask them it wasnt out on shelves. came in yesterday apparantly :D
O2 website is currently unable to process online orders...hopefully when i call them again later they will have updated their system and can send me the phone.
Good luck to anyone else trying to get this handset.
yes tmobile have them.. ordered mine finally... arriving 2mora! i hope i like it.. considering i have never seen one!
thanks for the people who told me it finally arrived in tmob!
Vodafone still sticking to early July for a release date. The reason "we need to put the phone through our own checks" (dont you mean rebrand it with the vodafone logo and mess about with the software) My contract is up in the middle of June and dont know whether to jump ship to someone else or hold fire as the tariff im on with voda is a good one for £20 im getting 150 mins /250 texts/ carry over mins / stop the clock/ virtual passport etc ...and i know i will get this phone for free when threating to cancel where i'll have to pay for the handset with another provider on a similar priced tariff as they only give it free with £30+ tariffs. So looks like i'm going to have to wait on Voda catching up with everyone else.
Visited the t-mobile shop and CPW today saw the phone close up looks great they have it in stock and t-mobile say they will have it in the shops next tues/wed.
Newbie!! You might have a point there mate, they could be saying it as it is just an upgrade rather than a new contract (new contract--probs new customer) but have you spoken to the same person or a different one? or try just calling and saying that you are a new customer to see what they say regarding stock. I ordered mine yesterday from the 02 shop and it was online so it better had come tommorow or i'll be marching in there for some answers! quick question anyone:::how do i get the 'track your order' thing to work on the o2 website???
Can anyone tell me, does it got camera in the front?
or just the one at the back?
Maybe newbie but when i phoned yesterday about upgrading etc he couldnt find it at first on system then when he did he didnt say whether it was in stock or not yet, just that i cant upgrade early :( there mean! i can pay and cancel my contract costing £75 and start new contract with new number but i cant pay to finish early and upgrade! doesnt make sense to me so il have to wait.
Following on from my last post, do you guys feel that O2 may be making me wait as it is a handset upgrade and not a new contract?
When i explained that the website shows the handset as 'In Stock' they just fob me off saying their system hasn't been changed yet.
Again, this is so frustrating because its such a good handset.
If you buy the phone on 02 dont get it from carphone warehouse, get an online 02 contract from the online store, £30 for 200mins & 400textx on 12 month contract with phone free. Carphone warehouse will make u buy the phone on this deal! cant wait for the phone but July is my upgrade :*(
I ordered mine from O2 online yesterday am - I paid £9.99 for next day delivery b4 10am - however I didn't receive any confirmation of my order so I called O2 and they said they had my order but the phone was out of stock!! He said call tomorrow for an update - then at about 6 last night I had a text from them saying that my phone had been despatched and it was delivered first thing this morning! so am very happy - the phone is just as good as I had anticipated! Love it!! don't worry guys, it is worth the wait so just hold out for a few days longer! :-)
Having spoken to O2 5 times now, I keep getting told that there stock system hasn't been updated and to try again tomorrow.
Its a shame that such a good phone has to go through crap phone companies who just keep passing the buck!!!
Ordered my F480 from O2 on Wednesday and just received it
First impressions are absolutely fantastic, Interface works great & haptic feedback is good and the Widgets are a blast
