Hoping to get mine on O2 contract, ringing them later to upgrade!

malachi · 20 Oct 2008 at 13:28

I was going to call o2 myself then read on the o2 forum that it has been delayed until sometime next week.

panthro · 20 Oct 2008 at 16:08

I spoke to o2 on friday who told me they are not being released till the 27th due to the C902 Bond edition (or something) was being released at the same time and they didnt want the release dates to clash :rolleyes:

Oh what! It better not be delayed!!

i hear a lot of bad reviews about this phone, something to do with firmware i believe, not sure if it will be fixed come release

Im looking at C905 to replace my ageing K800i.
Just need to know how much they will be now.

Exactly the same situation, got the K800i mainly for the camera, and that's the same reason I want this. Don't think I got a good deal at all last time though so going to barter a bit more this time

Well it's upgrade time of the year for me, this time last year I got a k750i, SE always seem to release new phones around this time, I guess pre-christmas.

Looking at all the current deals it's 18 month contracts

If anyone does get thier hands on a phone next week post pics!

I want this but I'd have to buy it sim free, which is going to cost me a fortune. If anyone finds it cheap let me know!

Reppyboyo · 20 Oct 2008 at 22:25

Doubt that`ll happen for a while, seems the C905 is set to be a pretty popular phone.

panthro · 21 Oct 2008 at 08:49

Im leaning towards an 18 month contract to get the best possible deal due to the fact Im using my K800i still, which is 2 years old. Im pretty sure the C905 will last just as long.

Exact same as me. I find it amazing not only that my K800i is still working as perfectly as the day I bought it (release day!) but also I've yet to see another phone released to rival it as an all rounder!

Ok it's not perfect - slightly bulky and the interent button is too easy to press but apart from that I love it. Bloody bomb proof too!

Hope this C905 is as good as I hope so I can finally upgrade!!!

sources? I can't google any bad reviews, infact there are a lack of reviews!

Should be around £250-300 on ebay, think I'll have one at that price...

Stanners · 21 Oct 2008 at 13:02

Just spoke with orange, they still do not have a date according to the lady on the phone but she said she could put me on call back when the do get it in.

Azza · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:53

I so want this phone...

I spoke to a lady at orange, who said that it should be out by the end of the month.

Its taking a while, as they are testing it to make sure it doesnt have the same problems as the c902.

Also that it should be free on upgrades, dependent on what tariff you are on.

Me too. I just hope it's not too expensive sim-free.
