Orange payg u900 soul £79 only!!

Hi, I have discovered Orange doing a brilliant deal on a Samsung Midnight Soul U900 for £79 PAYG. This phone is worth almost double! Please let me know how you get on I have had issues with them and they are trying to cancel my order. Long story but briefly:
  • I placed the order on Saturday 03.10.09
  • Received email to contact to confirm and process order
  • Contacted on today (Monday 05.10.09) call handler says phone out of stock
  • He told me the website updated every hour, but I checked on orange website and phone still as available (2 days later)!
  • Spoke to manager absolutely unhelpful and useless, challenged me by stating 'you put as many orders as you like on the website none will be fulfilled'
  • I told I will not give up, please do have a look if this is something you're interested in. Don't forget to use a cashback website as there is cashback available
  • The more numbers and complaints we can gather the better chance we do get this deal if we really want it
Good luck and I look forward to hearing from you guys

    Have they taken money from your account yet?
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies

    You need to check out the thread on this 'deal' over on HUKD. You'll see many many people who ordered this phone only to be stuffed by Orange.
  • I have checked this morning and the money has been taken out, had many phone conversations yesterday but no one of any use. One of the customer service guys suggested put in another order of £199 for the same phone that I clicked for £79. Amazingly if I wanted the phone at £79 it's out of stock and £199 back in stock! Orange don't have the phone on their website at all.
