    They are not cancelled, just out of stock. Here is the email we received:
    > Dear Customer
    >
    > Thanks for placing an order online for the <Samsung Galaxy Apollo >.
    >
    > We’re sorry for the hold up with your order but at the moment this phone is out of stock. We are expecting a delivery very soon and we will let you know via e-mail as soon as your new phone has been dispatched including details of when the phone will arrive.
    >
    > The credit decision is valid for 10 days. Should the phone not be in stock within 7 days we will contact you discuss an alternative phone that will suit your personal requirements.
    >
    > Rest assured the special offer price plan you saw on our website will still be available when we complete the phone order.
    >
    > If we are unable to contact you and the original credit decision does expire, we will have to process another credit check which may lead to an alternative decision.
    >
    > If you need any help or would like to change your choice of phone, please give us a ring on 0800 956 2208 option 3 quoting order reference <XXXXXXX>. We’re available between 8am and 7.30pm, Monday to Friday and 9am to 6pm on a Saturday.

    Are you running froyo 2.2? gps is very important to me so if it's temperamental I think I might avoid..

    2.2 is not readily available from what I can see? You'll need to manually update the phone yourself if you need this, instructions were given a few pages ago.

    What I really need is a way to stop the phone going over the allotted minutes, the teenager in question tends to engage his mouth well before his brain! There are a few good monitoring apps, but I want something that actually stops him. At present I have not really found much, that is free anyway. There is an app called traffic counter that will give a warning, that seems OK.

    On HUKD someone said they were offered the LG optimus ME instead, as they have run out of Apollo.

    I know nothing about phones, but the screen looks very small?

    How annoying that they're still showing the Samsung Apollo on their site, if they're supposedly out of stock :/

    I don't want an LG !!!!!!!
  • Got my phone this morning, all great BUT PLEASE check TMobile have put you on the £5.21 deal, they left me on £10.21, took a long time to convince them that the Quidco deal even existed! 5 operators later, all sorted. Just call customer services and make sure they know you used Quidco, don't assume they know!!

    Somebody else says optimus 1, which is the satnav one.

    They have 8 free phones under their £10.21 deal - maybe we can choose one? :)

    But they're still LGs. Poor battery life IME.

    At the checkout it's coming up as £10.21, is that right?? Or should it be showing up as £5?

    Mine said £10.21 at the checkout, but the person on live help said the discount would come off my bill. Did you go through quidco, to a T mobile page that mentions quidco?
