    Basq, you should really de-EXPIRED this thread as the offer is still available.
    I just ordered.
    The website is just really inconsistent on whether the phone is sold out or not.

    I ordered Vodafone Upgrade rather than Vodafone New Connection.
    Is the only difference that they now won't send me a free sim card with it?

    Is it seven days that I have if I want to cancel it for a full refund?

    Thanks for the BA, OP.

    It will be working fine with custom roms(if there is any available atm). I know you can root it without any problems.
    How many custom ROMS would have code for a .... projector ??!

    Just ordered without any problems for 149,99. It should be a lot better than my current phone which is the awful HTC Wildfire. Did others who ordered get a confirmation email as i haven't received it as yet?

    Absolute bargain, just ordered this for my mother without a hitch, but when i went back it was out of stock again, maybe it is just inconsistent like someone said above, or i got one that just came back into the system.
    I got the order confirmation almost immediately, well I checked after 20 minutes and it was there :)
    Delighted, thanks OP

    Got my confirmation a fews minutes ago. Great find OP and I just hope it doesn't end up like the iphone for €50 fiasco last week. But again, if you don't buy a ticket........

    Have unexpired.. but it's going in-and-out of stock too frequently to keep updating.

    Back in stock. And appears to be a genuine offer. When you get to order summary., it shows the discount of €330 from the full price of €479.99.

    Maybe it shows of stock while someone is just making purchase? I know it's unusual but that's how it looks like to me. So I presume, it's faulty website and I give myself 20% chance to actually get this phone.

    Picked it up also. Great phone for the mother, which she won't appreciate! Nothing like it for the price.

    Finally got it to work, many thanks OP.

    Samsung's website seems to promise an upgrade to ICS:

    "Platform
    Android™ Gingerbread 2.3
    (IceCreamSandwich version upgradable)"

    I managed to put in an order but as an upgrade as I couldn't purchase it as a new connection (even though I am not with vodafone) I haven't got a good feeling about this.
    I can foresee cancellation emails, money taken out, tears, threats, talk of Joe Duffy etc

    lads, it seems like a genuine offer, i would be shocked if it wasn't as we've seen offers like this before from CPW.

    I would be worried if you ordered late like i did however as that happened in a thread like this before in CPW.

    There is one on display in Carphone Warehouse where I am.
    It looks great, not too bulky and that's a great price.

    But after the initial play around with it I wonder if I would lose interest fast.
    Samsung have this digital camera now with a full Samsung Galaxy phone built into the back of it. Looks amazing and don't bring your credit card if you go to look at it in a shop.

    Samsung have some weird engineers working for them !!

    The fact it states 'On Promo, Better than half price' on the receipt would suggest it's legit and not an error. Delighted with this so cheers OP.

    Bought this but not sure if I wanna keep it, if and when, I get it. Should be handy to flog on adverts or eBay should I change my mind? Not looking to profit from the sale... Just get my cash back. Will probably open it when I get it to check out the projector, however....

    The fact that it is €479 from Vodafone themselves suggests to me that it is a price error:( Still I took a punt as if you are not in you can't win.

    Wouldn't work on Ipad or laptop. For some reason both wouldn't allow me to click on the Add to basket button. Tried it then on my phone and it worked!

    It is a genuine offer, its just the phone is low spec, well worth it though for a pressie or if you want a projector

    Other than the camera (5MP as opposed to 8MB - which is standard) and version of Android (it's on the list for upgrade), it's not really a low-spec phone by any means.
