Nokia N80

Ads_172 · May 1, 2006

Anyone know the release date yet? Thought it as April...

Clart · May 1, 2006

dunno but i want one!

Red Cup · May 1, 2006

Me too!

Mobileshop had a few in (I think) but it's now gone back to pre-order for May 2nd. Everywhere else states May.

If you're on o2 you might be able to get a good deal on one on upgrade. A year or so ago they were gearing up for a potential takeover by Telefonica and were trying to keep as many customers as possible and apparantly the retentions dept is still offering good deals.

There is a long topic about it here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=74041 Start from the end and work backwards though as the first posts are a year old.

spoke to o2 last week they have it set for launch on the week comencin 15th may. so they`ll be takin orders from then i think. no price as been set yet though

Ads_172 · May 1, 2006

Could be expensive!

biojo · May 1, 2006

nah carnt see it been over 200, maybe 150. When the v3 came out that was 400-450 on sim free, and that was sold for 200 on contract. the n80 is around 400 on sim free so 150-200 would be my gues . o2 will prolly charge 200 for first month then drop it by 20 quid

Got a URL?

Cheapest I've found sim free is around £520, although it's more than likely that the price of this will drop when people start getting in large quantities of stock.

Clart · May 2, 2006

M1TCH · May 2, 2006

I'm due for renual on 13th May so might have to hold on for it, but theres no way I'm gonna pay a penny for it!

biojo · May 2, 2006

The Hoff · May 3, 2006

Right just spoke to O2 upgrades/retentions on 0800 0288151 (freephone). The release schedule for the N series are as follows on O2:

N91 - 15th May
N80 - 22nd May

No pricing structures are available just yet, but calling in a weeks time should get results. Those are CONFIRMED dates.

Cheers.

Andy_con · May 3, 2006

Wouldn't get one from orange, it'll have the cack orange modded firmware and that cripples most phones they supply! My mate had a symbian based phone from orange (he was one of their 3g trialists) and he hated all the rubbish they put on it.

very ture, but an option is to get it flashed with unbranded software.

sn00p · May 4, 2006

There's also e2save.com who are a brand of carphone warehouse, they have some good deals.

yeah true, they put this stupid shortcut sidebar on it which is proper w**k and gets in the way of your background pic

might move to 3, just dont trust them.

Andy_con · May 4, 2006

mitch i can flash it with an unbranded flash for you as you live close

Adams_16v · May 4, 2006

dont go on '3' mate!

signal is toss!!!! custs out all the time when its switching 3g/2g as well

cant wait to go back to O2!

M1TCH · May 6, 2006

^^ yeah I'm scared of going to 3.

anyone that needs to ring up other people to sell there contracts is s**t imo!

andy that sound great cheers, gonna wait for them to release it then ask for another 100 mins free and ill be happy.

Caramel · May 6, 2006

im on 3 and have been from day one and i totally disagree with these claims. they are cheap, create signal and great phones (nokia are the best i have found)

The Hoff · May 6, 2006

3 are a big w**k stain on the duvet that is mobile telecoms.
