Me too, but they aren't really in stock - check again...3 days!

There was a mix up at the warehouse and they received totally the wrong phone - they seem to think the supplier is going to send them next week now!

Dont get your hopes up. This is almost certainly an error on their behalf, its far too early and much too cheap.

This page now says expected in 3 days cost £221.78.

I did think that it's too early and too cheap, but you don't know if you don't try!

I know that I'm in the first batch and I ordered this morning, because for about 15 minutes my order was ready to ship and I was told delivery on Monday (clarified over the phone)...so whenever they are, I'm in the first lot - they have to contact me if the price is wrong and I can cancel before it ships so I can't lose!

I'd advise everyone to at least give it a go!

Expansys have done this before. I read somewhere (in these forums) of someone who has been waiting 3 months for a 3650 cover which is listed as in stock.

Given that the phone isn't released by Nokia yet, they aren't going to fulfill the order (I doubt they will ever fulfill it at £220-odd SIM free, especially as that is cheaper than the 3650)

I did ask them to confirm that their supplier's delivery did exist as it will be the first shipment of 6600s they've had, and they seemed to think it did exist...yet to be totally convinced, but it's as promising as it can get...

Also, their website went from expected 4 days...to in stock...to sold out...to 3 days in the space of half hour/an hour...it shows they are updating it, therefore you'd think they'd correct the price if it was wrong...I know it seems low, but it's still up there...

it's all about hoping one's going to appear in the post next week!

There's no way it's about to ship - Nokia don't work like that - they ensure sample versions have hit the journalists for reviews, they gear up advertising campaigns, and Expansys (being a dealer, not a distributor) are not going to be the first to announce stock.

If Expansys thought they were getting an initial stock of say 100, then it could easily go from In Stock (ie about to be in stock) to out of stock and then 3 days within hours.

I notice the Rose version is still listed as Pre-release order though.

There's at least one journo around here and my-symbian.com who would have seen and used the phone if any UK dealer was about to get stock, and he hasn't.

Whatever it is (mistake, marketing thing, error on the part of their supplier), the phone's aren't going to be delivered next week.

I emailed Ekpansy about this and they have confirmed it is an error. They are not expecting the 6600's for Quite a while.

I'm not worried - at least I have my order in NOW.
So at least when they DO get stocks my order will be near the top of the list.

I remember the exact same thing happened months before the N3650 was released. Expansys had it on their website as "available in 5 days". Few days later they caught the error and removed it from their website.

I have just got a confirmation email that they WILL be available next Wednesday.

The price IS correct.

Unfortunately for all you Doubting Tomas' all have been aloocated and they will have no more after this for 60 days.

WOOHOO :-?

Yep, contrary to what I was originally told, they are actually imports due next week - but for that price I don't care!
