[dalejake]

gutted

ok so it seems orange will hopefully get it officially, just not sure of the date. waiting game then :/

sounds not a bad idea actually waiting for a bit to get anymore bugs ironed out. i see the vol bug has officially been fixed now and new stock is on its way to the shops?

also flash will be there come december, so i am hoping orange will have it by january.

Couldn't be arsed waiting for Orange to get hold of it, if ever.

Called phones4U and ordered one, hopefully from new stock.

If you push them a bit they have some decent deals, managed to get free phone

My contract with Orange is shortly available to renew too, I'm torn between S2 and Nexus, especially as S2 is getting ICS in the new year. The better screen on the Nexus is swaying me to that. Does anyone have any experience of both phones (not just handling in the shop) - any advice?

 

[balders]

That's not a bad deal. Was the cashback for your old phone? Which network did you go with?

The cashback was nothing to do with my old phone, thats on Ebay right now, it was just a cash money gift!

I stayed with Orange.

I order 23rd November, was told it would be with me in 2-3 days, called today, and was advised that they won't have it in till after new year, some shops have 2-3 in in stock, rest of orders will be after new year.

Very pi**ed of with phones 4 u, as stores won't budge on

 

[balders]

Would be just as well swapping to another operator, not good since I've been with orange for 10 years .

Thats a lot of magic numbers.

Thought I would call Phones4U to check my order, they informed me it had been dispatched and gave me the tracking number.

Odd they gave you different information.

Last wednesday, the 30th. I did think it was a bit odd when it didn't turn up on Friday, but they said 3 to 5 so i'll have to wait and see.

Phones4u had me down for Galaxy Note, despite going over order 3 times,
Re-ordered & should be with me in 2-5 days.

Very Poor customer service, as expected !!!

Arrived this morning, it took 6 days to deliver. lame.

worth the wait though.

Well here's my tuppence-worth.

I've had problems with Orange - customer service dreadful.

First, I was on the phone to them for 1

I am hoping to get Samsung Nexus too through Orange as it's coming up to my upgrade in February.

Is is better than Samsung S 2?

I am hoping to haggle my contract this time, paying about

I popped into the Orange shop today to enquire about this and they said they're getting it in "early January". Depends how much stock you want to put into an employee at the Covent Garden Orange shop really.

What are Orange like for upgrades in terms of offers? I only switched to them on my current contract.

 

[rmcdowell]

Given that is so slow coming out and the S3 is expected to launch next month I could be tempted to wait a bit longer for it

 

[basictonal]

still no sign of the nexus on the coming soon section of the orange website, rubbish!

the s3 is tempting now.

It'll be interesting to see what phones are announced at CES next week!
