    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.
    It's been on an upgrade list for 6 months & its a dual core 1ghz processor. My 3yo HTC Sensation is higher spec. But for €149 its worth a punt.

    Do you think that it could be simfree?

    it's more than 20 euro to unlock it in Ebay :(

    Rang the Store in Carphone Warehouse, girl told me they have all been recalled and taken out of stock due to some issue? Is this a Samsung recall I wonder?

    Suprised there isn't more takers for this..

    .. maybe everyone learned from €50 iPhone 5 thread.

    I expect a cancellation from this anyways.

    The link doesn't work. Can't find that phone on the site anywhere

    To be fair, that was posted almost 24 hours ago.

    Phone was in-and-out of stock until 9.30 this morning.

    Seems to be gone now.

    I think Carphone warehouse will have them onsale again next week at full price again, and say all sold out at sale price, reminds me of Argos great sales when no stock available in any store in Ireland, and then available when full price again....sounds fishy to me, my opinion well done to anyone who got them at €149.

    Just got an e-mail from CPW:
    Many thanks first of all for your purchase of the ‘Samsung Galaxy Beam’.
    Due to unforeseen demand we are currently behind on stock, but will have this item back in the coming days.

    We hope to have this handset out to you by the middle of next week pending credit checks.

    Apologies for any delay and appreciate your customer,

    Please follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and offerings,

    And just spotted the following on their Facebook:
    Due to the massive uptake on our Samsung Beam offer, we are currently out of stock. We do not want to disappoint our customers so we have withdrawn the product temporarily. We are currently sourcing more stock and hope to have the offer available again early next week. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. There are plenty of other great offers on our site at present for customers to check out:

    Currently out of stock? why take them off the shelves in their stores? surely selling the ones they have on shop floor would make more sense!!!!!!

    I purchased at 7.30 this morning but still haven't received a confirmation email.
    Is there anybody else that hasn't received a confirmation email yet?

    Called into my local CPW,you guessed it,system is acting up & no price available for the phone so was told it's full price:(

    Ah well,if it was available,I'd have bought it at €149,guess it's back to ordering a phone from China.

    Seeing as it:
    • is unopened
    • is locked to Voda
    • was posted on Adverts ten hours ago
    • is the only Galaxy Beam on Adverts
    No.

    Seems the 149.99 hold that was on my account was taken off, haven't heard from CPW.

    Hope I still get it but I'm starting to have my doubts.

    Yh i did but then i got an email saying that they were waiting on more stock. Not sure
    If it was an automated email, so they might cancel it if there's none left.

    It sounds like they have open way to say - "canceled because no fresh stock". Now it's up to them if they want to give us these telephones for €150 or they prefer to sell them for €300 on different offer.

    I thought when i received the email from them it was a bit fishy saying the phone was out of stock. I'm guessing everyone who ordered that night has got the email? If thats the case we have no hope of getting these phones :mad:
