nokia n8 on orange

BARRINGTON_3

anyone please know if the nokia n8 is to be available on orange when released next month

It will be on Vodafone first, but will follow suit on other networks shortly afterwards. Normally a handset gets a debut network and sometimes retailer (CPW) after about a month it usually rolls out to the other networks and retailers. So if you wait a month you should get the phone.

Not as far as I know, not directly from Orange anyway

I_heard

Just heard from a mate who works with them (or for) it is coming to Orange, he said it will be with all networks from the start - he said if I want to spread it out to people buy it from Orange or T-mobile as they are joining forces so you might get a better deal if you order up front - pre order if that means anything to anyone :j

Any news if N8 will launch with their 'Comes with Music'/'Ovi Music Unlimited' free music streaming yet?

I_heard

I think what they need to do is bring it out on something cheaper for Xmas, good if it was on T-Mobile - 5230 please Nokia! I will ask my mate in the week and keep you posted

It's been confirmed on Orange for a September launch

BARRINGTON_3

any ideas when in sept it will be released on orange please, is it worth trying to pre order with orange?

drbesty

No more info yet, just sometime in September, dont think you'll need to preorder there should be plenty of stock

I_heard

Just heard October but pre-order from Sept. My mate is saying if you pre-order you will get special gift but maybe not from Orange...he said look out for T-Mobile & others. Not sure if you will need to pre-order but if you want it then why not get the gift and order early!

2 contracts up for renew soon. Either iPhone 4 + N8 or iPhone 4 + Galaxy S. Will see. Worst case, stick with a Nokia 1661.
