no, they haven’t. i work next door to an orange retailer and i went in for myself and saw it in the flesh 2 days ago. i still refuse to buy it until samsung realise they have made a big mistake, and allow other networks to stock it. the least they could have done for the benefit of us, AND their business, is give the exclusivity to a network we actually want to use!

Orange Pricing – my experience. just got this fone for £15 upfront, £30p/m. However i am an existing customer they didnt want to let go. A lot of peeps seem to be complaining about the handset tye-in with orange but remember that the same us true with its nemesis iphone on o2. i went for 1gb month for 9 quid a mth and that should b enough i recon – after all, unlimited does not mean “unlimited” in any communications contract ive ever seen so you cannot compare can you? Regardless of carrier, the handset itself is what should be subject to criticism or acclaim. Lets hope that samsung can do us proud.

Great shout howler, i want to know too. Im not sure what to do for the best either. Phone looks good. IS the general idea on the size ok? Seen it in the shops but not sure if its a tad too bulky, what are people finding with it?

Orange shop, the carphone warehouse and phones 4 u have recalled their stock of the samsung i8910 hd for software problems (quoted by the manager of a phones 4 u shop last week),
They no longer sell this phone in any of their shops !! and its only just been released, is this because orange have messed with the operating system ? or have they made a huge mistake by bringing out the Jet and boasting that it has a far superior operating system to the symbian ?

Can anyone tell me weather the phones will be upgraded and released for sale again ? or have they been discontinued for ever?

hhmmm – should i punt for the much duller Nokia N97 ?? or wait for the verdict ?

I was so looking forward to this phone on o2, but with this “exclusivity” crap going on these days, I really hate it!!! makes me wanna puke!

I DO NOT LIKE ORANGE!

What’s the deal with this exclusivity nonsensical madness? Exclusivity is at a loss to the manufacturer, because if this phone was available on all networks, there will be more sales.
I mean, this is the UK, we didn’t use to do this exclusivity crap like the US, but with the advent of the iphone, exclusivity has now become a common phenomenom.

I remember the days when you glance in the carphone warehouse section and all phones were practically available on every known network, but these days thats not true..
Maybe I should get the European Union to look into this, because the omnia hd has everything i want in a phone currently available, but its a shame i can’t get it because I do not want to leave my t-mobile and o2 network..

The consumers are not being thought of when they strike these exclusivity deals, are choices are being restricted.
I think i’ll file a lawsuit against orange and samsung UK… I will file a lawsuit.. just wait to hear my names in the newspapers very soon
