Mine, ordered on Sunday, arrived yesterday.

For those who are still waiting or are thinking about ordering one when they're back in stock, don't expect to get any useful accessories that would come with a new p990i - it's just the phone, charger, battery, manual and SIM (and the free BT headset). No data cable, no wired stereo headset, no CD.

Oh, another thing to note: don't put the phone near a magnet, it makes it think the flip is open. This is quite annoying when you have a belt case that's just the right size but uses a magnet to hold it shut!

Thanks it was the SAT NAV unit that was holding up my order. They said to re-order the phone on its own, which I've done.

Note that the Orange SAT NAV unit comes with a car charger AND mains charger the play.com unit comes with the car charger and free 12month wayfinder software. So although they are the same make and model the packages are not the same.

Where is the best place to get a USB data cable for the SEP990i, are there other accessories like a case and car charger I should get?

I was going to look on EBay unless anyone know of a better place for this sort of thing. I wanted the data cable to change the code on my phone so I can back and then debrand it.

I had this phone at the start of the year on Vodafone. Not a bad little gizmo. I think I was expecting a little to much of it really so set myself up for a bit of a disappointment. I must recommend a program called Swiss Manager, makes it run much smoother.

That is very strange because mine was on Orange when it was launched and it came with the desktop sync cradle which chargers the phone and syncs up to the computer, which was as standard on ALL networks, I would double check that with Orange if I were you. When Orange sold them, they had both Orange branded boxes and standard GSM boxes and both were unlocked for all networks, but as far as I'm aware, BOTH types of boxes came with the sync station and cable.

I know its odd but the deal was £99.99 but no accessories. They are quite cheap in the aftermarket / eBay as it is an old 2006 phone
