Do we think the speaker offer will include in store sales or just web orders?

The Verges review is all over the place in scores, I actually don't think the Verge was overly negative or Bias ( but they do have a thing against anything Microsoft related, not overly much but it does show at times), but they sure as hell don't make any sense when it comes to that final scoring system.
Could you not just pay the bit extra ( we are not talking a huge amount here) and get the sim free as a couple of us here have done from Cyberport?
I understand if you want it Via a contract, but I dont think it worth the hassle of buying one within the UK right now.
I believe it was web orders.
Thats working from memory though so check where you can.
As I said above if you are buying it outright from P4U can you not just buy where some of us have and save yourself the hassle?

Some POS photographed said there was the free charger in-store. No mention of the speakers though. Although I find it a bit misleading having an ad up for the first 500 orders. I find it hard to believe there hasn't already been 500 orders on the website.
That's the best option, if you have saved and/or can afford to splash out. If not, its a great way of spreading the payments over 12 months. It also depends on who you are as to whether £500 is a "huge amount"
The 1GB option works out even cheaper than the 3GB at £662. Very reasonable and my preferred option at the minute.
Yeah I understand your point, and I was so close to ordering from there, but then I wasnt sure what exchange rate i'd get and also would miss out on the free charging mat. I think at the moment I'm just going to sit and wait and see how things develop.
The crazy thing is everyone I have spoken to at P4U ( 3 people in different stores, and 2 of their online help chat people) are adamant that all the phones they sell sim free, are not locked to a particular network. Guess this is just another example of P4U/nokia being useless at getting the information to their own workers, let alone their potential customers.
@ Lemmiwinks, I does seem confusing even on THAT front what you get with what exclusive order, 500 for the nation isn't that much I wouldn't think, well maybe, well for Nokias sake I hope not lol.
Theirs one thing even though I have ordered one you cant deny, this is one of the worst product launches that serves my memory at least for a VERY long time.
If it was a case their was a mad rush and pre-orders where selling them out etc, I could understand that, but thats not the case here.
Compounded that it seems we are dealing with three incompetent companies now.
Nokia, EE, and P4U.

Thats shocking that in store they would no reverse what their own (Twitter feed was it?)...is saying.
I understand on the Euro front, I think my bank offer a VERY small charge for the transfer if anything at all, maybe worth calling your bank?
Another option for those not liking the contracts is just taking a credit free card lol, plenty about, same as a monthly bill with no extra fee or being stuck in a crap network and tariff!
Something has obviously be very wrong with these handsets and availability; P4U, the two EE stores and the two CPW stores in my town have PoS, display units and dummy handsets, yet nobody knows when they'll be in stock. The stores are evidently ready to sell them, but they have no handsets to sell. To my mind, that points to there being some sort of last minute problem - they wouldn't have been telling people Friday, with all of the PoS and displays in place to sell the devices by Friday, if the date was always a couple of weeks away.
CPW are offering the 820 from free on a £26/month two-year contact. PoS says you get a free Windows 8 Pro upgrade with the handset. There is a charging plate on display and the PoS encourages you to try Wireless Charging, but there's no working unit available.

Hmm about £500 before delivery, would love grey but not sold on when they would get them in.
Sneakily im thinking if ze Germans come good, and we get them next week maybe?....then we have full sim free phones to sell on foea good price I think and pay a small difference to get the preferred colour if it suddenly becomes available.
Also, does the 920 come WITH a wireless charging plate in the box?

I will be funny if we get the handsets before P4U / EE users.
EDIT:
No, It doesn't come with a charging plate out the box. Even so I have still ordered the stand.

Why would anyone consider the 24 month option? It makes no sense as it doubles the cost and you don't gain anything unless you need over 3GB. Makes far more sense to me to have the choice of being able to upgrade after 12 months, bail if the network doesn't work out or the money saved could buy whatever the new most amazing phone ever is.
P4U only doing 24 month contracts makes absolutely no sense to me and when they're priced exactly the same as ordering from EE what's the point of using P4U? I suppose you would lose the £50 cash back but who cares when you're going to pay £500 + for the extra 12 months.
