Jersey based company have now changed their release date to the 3rd of May...not amused.

WAs the offical release date 27th?...why is it proving so hard to get this phone on its release date?

No, the offical press relase said the 1st of May for release. Phone4U however claim to have an exclusive deal to allow them to release it on the 27th.

If Phones4U do have exclusivity they'd be righjtly p*ssed off if anyone else did it too.

Ahh right so ive read it wrong then about their exclusive.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is now available on preorder from mobile phone retailer Phones4U and will be exclusively available on Orange. The retailer has also confirmed that the delivery date for online orders is the 27th of April, four days before it goes on sale.

I should get a confirmation today at some point.

I'm going to ring them at lunch time with my reference number for an update too, I'll report back on what they say.

I got a "free" unit, 700 mins, unlimited texts, 500mb interweb and a free 8GB sd card for £40 p/m on 18 months, why is that crap? It's pretty much comparable with other vendors. For example the CPW only offer two 18 month, free phone contracts and they are over £60 p/m!! Mobiles.co.uk, don't offer an 18 month contract on a free unit (on Orange) and want £40 a month for T-mobile which is the same as what I'm paying.

This is a top of the range phone, you aint going to get it for £20 a month and no up front fee.

According to this, they say they are getting it May, but I'm not sure how much I trust that page.

Phones4u are 'aware of an issue' that means you cant order an SGS2 online. Useless buggers.

cu3ed · 26 Apr 2011 at 12:00

So its a store only offer to get it early?

Robbo · 26 Apr 2011 at 12:02

They've just told me it should be working again at 12:30, we'll see.

Has it been confirmed that it'll be unbranded from phones4u?

It should be unbranded, but it will probably be locked.

I can live with that. I see they offer the same contract as mobiles.co.uk, oh the temptation!
