Samsung sneaks out snazzy 3G iPhone rival... the Omnia.

I just phoned and he said orange dont sell omnia lol...made him double check and he said oh yea we do, just been released 20minutes ago.

He offered me 600mins, unlimited texts and £35 a month, but the phone would cost me £100.

Wouldn't offer me anything else :(

bah :(

go to the shop and play one shop off another.

Here is how i did it: I went to Orange found the deal which was 45/month, I said to the orange rep that i was going to phones for u to see their deals. He said 'Come back and let us know what they can do and we will see what we can do'. I went to Phones 4 u, they didnt have stock and didnt know when they were getting stock, but from looking on their website i knew you could get the phone for free on a 35/month deal less the data. With this i went back to orange shop and said "P4u offered to buy me out my last month of contact and the phone is free for 35/month without data, the data being an extra £7.50. He said he would take 10% off which would mean it would be 41.50 / month and that was the best he could do.

Then when he sat me down I said are you sure thats the best you can do? Because i could technically get £35 quid cash back with phones for you. He didnt want to lose the sale and said he would do my first month for free.

There is always room for a deal if you have some confidence and a little bit of cockyness. To much and they think 'this guy is a plonker' to little and they think 'he will buy anyway' - its finding a happy medium i think.
 
what is touchflo ??

he says the original omnia comes without touchflo installed ?

touchflow is a 3d graphics thing which comes on the diamond i think.

The omnia doesnt come with it, but that video doesnt show it either so not sure whats going on. I watched that video the other days and dismissed it as I couldnt see a difference.

Also putting things like that on would slow down the phone, which with it being windows ins't wise unless you have lots of patience.
 
well i ordered mine over the phone direct from orange and they said it will be here (with me) tomorrow.

and thought went to get his from a shop today, he has to go back to get it,,(i think)

Yeah i have to go back get it at 4. They said that the systems to connect the sim to the network was down. I got through credit any everything else which was annoying.

Better hope their systems are back up before home time! :)
 

orange used to offer £180 (or £150) cashback with new 18month contrats over £35...and they have 'hidden' it but still offer it according to my friend but i asked her like a month ago so im not sure if they can still do it...worth asking tho, and if they say no, then say another orange store offered it to me as they said the deal was still valid and i had to give in my old phone (thats how you get the cashback)
 
looks like there is some bargaining to be done tonight with orange, hopefully a nice cheap contract

Quote as having interest in another network and give them a price plan to match and they will put you through to disconnections where you should get a nice deal. My Dolphin 35 went from £30 to £22.50 that way plus an additional 100mins and Unlimited Anytime Internet :) Happy days! I'm gonna mess about with the Diamond tonyte but if the Omnia seems like a better phone I'll use my 7day grace period to change phones :D
 
ive started a new thread for owners to post reviews and software updates etc

so people dont have to search through pages and pages....

who will be first with mini review??
 
Just missed a 'courtesy call' from Vodafone. Rang them back straight away, hoping that they had just taken delivery/sorted out the t&c's or costs of the Omnia and were ready to offer me it on contract. But no.

I got through to upgrades to be told that they were calling me because I was due an upgrade. I asked a different salesperson about the Omnia and she was really vague about its release with Vodafone... She said, ''they were anticipating a Q3 release; the middle/end of September, but more likely in October" :eek:

I didn't want to argue or explain that only this morning I had been told they were expecting a August 22nd release - I just calmly said, 'Oh, okay. I'll wait till then, then...' Christ, by that time something else will be out! If there's no news when I call them on Friday, I think I shall have to leave.

Vodafone customers be warned ;)
