    Depends on phone you get, most can be reflashed with generic, unbranded firmware

    As the K800i is a 3G phone, Meteor might not be launching it.

    Well they might at some point but first they need a 3G license and then they need to build their 3G network :)

    Three have the k800i at present on PAYG and Billpay

    Sorry I meant the W810i got my phones mixed up.

    I'd say the K800i as it's the best phone i've had yet, or the W810i which should be coming out exclusively to Carphone Warehouse

    Meteor have the N91 which is 3G. There's a good chance that the K790i could make an appearance if they get their asses in gear. It's the K800i but with EDGE instead of 3G

    That's what i heard!

    Has anybody seen the W810i in a Meteor store, on any other network or store??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,080 ✭✭✭✭Random


    That's not true ns06. Meteor in Henry St have the W810i for sale.

    Did you see for how much?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 85 ✭✭ns06


    Ah right cool.

    It'd be a pretty cool phone as it still uses Pro Duo memory cards instead of the piece of sh*t M2 cards Sony released for the K800i!

    Sweet. Sounds like a decent price

    Was in a similar situation, with an O2 upgrade due. Thought that technically there probably isnt anything better that the K750i in the price range at the moment but
    1)thought it a bit thick and liked the idea of a thin fone as I carry them in my trousers pocket and the 750 is above average on this front
    2)it really is dull to look at. for a fine fone its a pity that it looks like such a low level fone (apart from the nice screen) - Nokia 3120 far superior looks wise for example. Surprised it hasnt had a few decent make overs since its launch, befitting it fine feature list. Looks were a huge factor in the long success of the classic 6310i for example but I cant see the K750 black passing for a serious/business fone in 3 yrs time.

    So I went for the motorola L7i which O2 released last week. Due to me next week. Only feature i was sorry to be compromising on was the lack of FM radio.

    Its in the Meteor Store in the Blanch Shopping Center. I've also seen it sim free in some of the stores on dawson street.
