Calling this a bargain alert. Followers of this pnone will know it was 400€ for Pay as you Go, now down to 199.99€ (and lower with online purchase and Fatcheese) in O2 shops

Only a year on the market if that.
Picked up one myself today, well pleased.

Windows phone 8 is due out with the next month, hence the bargain I suspect. Will upgrade to WP7.8 though?

Good price. But you won't be getting Win Phone 8. You will get the new home screen, though.

AFAIK this applied to the original firmware but was fixed in a later update.

Yes, it does update to 7.8.

I have one and got herself one too. Battery is fine as long as you have it up to date with the latest firmware. If you leave it on wifi all day, it'll be short, but it's fine other than that.

I can get just short of 2 days after a full charge and using it for work emails / browsing, calling.

It's at a great price!

Does anyone know how much would it cost to unlock one of those? I'm currently with 48 and don't want to switch to o2.

How does one avail to the 10% off with priority moments? I go through the order and until the confirmation page still shows €199.

That's a really good bargain. I'm with O2 and have been watching the Lumia range, couldn't decide which one to get. I know a lot of people are waitng for the 820 and 920 to come out but at that price I'd defo buy that. Must check reviews on it. Cheers for that info!

I've only been able to find one crowd online to do it and they want €45.:eek:

Any ideas how to get the 10% off code?

48 is o2, different branding; same company.

I have used Lumia 900 since June and my gf has Lumia 800. Both are great phones and it is a bargain on that prize. Both phones has free music and gps navigator and which you dont usually get when you buy a new phone.

But the 48 sim card won't work in this phone because it will be locked to o2...

48 are a virtual provider on the o2 network so it will work.

You have to register with O2 priority offers and you'll get a code for that. I'll fet on with them in the next few days as it seems the offer is running Thursday to Sunday, although I couldn't get the 10% off for the last 3 hours, my code didn't get recognized and the total was still €199.

Are you sure about this? I know 48 use the o2 network but i thought a 48 sim wouldn't work in an o2 locked phone, the same as the way tesco mobile sims wouldn't work even though there using the o2 network also.

Pity the camera and SQ wasn't better or I'd jump on it.

48 are owned by o2 but their sims don't work in o2 phones, I checked. Tesco sim cards don't work in o2 phones either.

Nokia will publish Lumia 920 next month. It will have the best camera in mobile phones. I think it will cost about 650 euros "unlocked"

Pricing error for a clearance model being sold in-stores, and being sold for even less elsewhere?

Oh O2, you are a strange strange company!

Do-more

One thing to bear in mind if you are considering a Windows phone is that whilst there is a Skype app available it doesn't run in the background so is just about useless for receiving Skype calls. The last official comment that I am aware of from Skype 2 weeks ago still doesn't confirm if Skype will run in the background with either WP7.8 or WP8.

Whilst it is widely expected that Skype will be integrated into WP8 and should also run in the background with WP7.8 no one seems to know for sure.

Soo disappointed. On the O2 site on boards a rep told me that the €199 price was an error and that they are updating it...........................

BostonB

Its that price in the O2 shop I asked in though.

Eathrin

I was told in the o2 store the price was dropped due to overstocking.
