Somone on the HDUK site said they called customer support to ask where they had stock and they sold them one over the phone for next day delivery so that might be worth a try.

It depends if it's a true PAYG one or a contract one which they are selling as PAYG.
If it's contract then it's unlocked. Not all of the stores will sell the contract one as PAYG thought.
I guess you could ask? I've been looking at unlocking and it seems it can be done cheap but you invalidate your warranty.

Woman in the Vodafone shop said they unlock for £20, but as I posted earlier or in the 800 thread some one on GiffGaff forum said you might be able to get them unlocked for free if you speak to Vodafone's PAYG team.

second store i've been to claimed no stock and not able to sell contract stock.
on the HDUK site someone has posted that an internal note has been sent round advising them to stop selling contract phones as payg.
annoying. will just have to wait until it's on payg and try and unlock it.

Bought a HTC Radar in the end. Too much effort to travel to my 2nd nearest vodafone store.
I wish the Omnia W/Focus Flash was more available in the UK. As it's easily the best out of the radar/lumia/samsung which are all in the same price bracket.

How much did you pick the Radar up for? I've heard it's a great device.

Finally got my hands on one of these. Went with o2 in the end as they had it for £200 with a £20 voucher and £5 cashback.
Have to say i'm dead impressed. When i first saw the shots of this device it looked like the Lumia 800's ugly sister - it really isn't. It looks and feels great and having the different back covers is a nice touch.
Operationally i am blown away by Windows Phone OS. It is lightning fast to navigate between menus and apps and the built-in integration of contacts works really well.
I've yet test out the camera or look into the appstore so will probably give a more detailed review in time.

Had a nightmare with vodafone today trying to get one online the payment wouldnt go through saying it was my end when my bank said it was fine, they then told me to go instore to get and they were demanding £155 + £10 topup. I refused as would have needed the £20 unlock fee as well.
O2 have it for £189.99 and refuse to price match and them whilst trying to sell my a fail contract and offered me worse / the same upgrade as a new contract i eventually got a £5 off per month for a simplicity sim.
TLDR - Vodafone payment wouldnt work no instore price match, O2 refused to budge on price and offer poor upgrade paths. Got it from o2 anyway.

I just saw the Voda one available online - was waiting for about 3 weeks before caving and going with o2!
Still i'm with GiffGaff so this way i don't need to pay to get it unlocked. If anyone is looking at this device the Vodafone deal is really good as it also comes with a 6 month Zune pass which from what i hear is pretty good.

hi guys, does the 710 gets the same update lumia 800 got last weeks, which improve battery life etc?
It got a different update because the battery issue was limited to the 800.

so i guess so it still sucks
