and yes ive unlocked mine and using it on o2

The're out of stock too!

huh!

Sorry about that Ricardo, Doh!

D4 you need to put the mp3's on memory card, a 32mb one comes with it,

Am I right in assuming that if you buy one on vodafone, unlock it and use your O2 sim then there's absolutely no way of getting any free call credit from O2?

Obvious indicators are that they've no reason to give you call credit but maybe there's a way? I hate having to buy a vodafone one and lose the free credit just cause o2 are out of stock.

huh!

The bonus pack version for €99 is still available, this is for vodafone customers who want to upgrade their phone, you still get the €60 credit added to your own vodafone sim,

Chabsey- I sold the sim that came with it , dont know of any other way around it,

I really wanted to get off Vodafone contract.

Being an O2 customer can I buy that bonus pack version and unlock it for my O2 sim or is it only the other, sold out, version that could do that?

Chabsey, I'm in the same position - an O2 customer but bought the bonus pack version.

AFAIK I'll be able to unlock it and use my O2 sim ... will let you know ...

Funny they let me buy it without entering a valid Vodafone number, huh ?

Carphonewarehouse still have O2 N-gages in stock. Mainly cause they're selling them at 229 and refuse to acknowledge that the prices have fallen. According to them they'll sell the Vodafone ones at 99/109 euros but not the O2 ones cause they've not got word of the price drop.

They will price match but as nowhere has an O2 n-gage in stock there's no way of getting them to price match!

I don't suppose anyone knows anything about how carphonewarehouse work in terms of 'getting word' of how the rest of the shops in the country have dropped prices. I wonder, when the Qd comes out will they still insist on charging people 229 for the older machines? I know they're higher spec than the QD but still, seeing as most people who really wanted one got one at 99 euros, it doesn't seem realistic to keep selling them at 229.

Bonus pack for €99 with €60 call credit for a voodoofone customer (a mate for example)

http://www.vodafone.ie/onlinestore/productlist.jsp?cat=specialoffers

The one on the left not the one on the right for €89

RobertFoster

are they worth it? they're only a bargin if you need one...

I've heard they're rubbish phones...are the games that good? What other uses do they have? What's the largest card it can take for MP3?

milltown

@ Robert Foster

It's a lot of technology for €89 so yes IMO it's worth it.
The hardware is top notch. Aside from the side talking nonsense the phone is great, and tri band too, which the new one isn't.
The games are pretty good even if the screen is a touch small, and the wrong shape.
Other uses: Play MP3s, Movies, USB drive, manage contacts á la PDA, radio etc.
512MB I believe, possibly depending on brand.

I bought one when they first came out but sold it on because I figured I wasn't getting enough use out of it's other features to warrant having such a (relatively) bulky phone but I've missed it since. I was going to buy a small MP3 player until I saw the post about the €89 N-Gage. I already have the MMC card so for 89 eurons I will have me a new N-Gage with MP3ability again.

@ Longfield

If the order is shown as picked then it's on it's way to you. I ordered mine on Friday night and it's "picked" too.

anyone find sites selling cheap compatible mmc's yet apart from ebay? theres a list of compatible ones on some sites

Supercell

Well the new toy arrived today
Was missing the charger but a quick call to customer support and am getting sent out one tomorrow, have a charger from my last nokia so is charging up now as we speak..let the games commence !

Time to source me a big capacity mmc ...

milltown

Got mine today too

Funny thing though; When I entered the generated unlock codes it kept saying "code error". Rather than risk using up my five free attempts and lock up the phone altogether I tried my O2 sim in it anyway, and it worked!
It seems my phone was never locked in the first place.

RicardoSmith

Over the last two weeks

Tried O2 - sold out
Tried Xtravision - sold out
Tried online - sold out
Tried vodafone shop yesterday - sold out but more tomorrow
Tried vodafone shop today - guy in front got last one

Aaarrrggghgh!

These seem pretty reasonable, and free delivery to Ireland also, haven't checked n-gage compatibility yet..but am researching atm..

Hi all, ordered the €99 one from the special offers section on the vodafone page earlier, and it's status is now picked, which I gather means it's all good. Can anyone tell me if the fifa game comes with this one, or was it just with the €89 model?
I guess I'll find out in the next day or two anyway...
take it easy...

huh!

WTF? Its saying out of stock for me this morning and again now. Fates way of saying noooooo???

huh!

yeh tried it just now out of interest and sold out!

tuco

where does it say out of stock? I ordered by going to the online store, then special offers, then selecting the n-gage which brought me to this page:

http://www.vodafone.ie/onlinestore/product.jsp?cat=phones&productId=11266

From there, I added it to the basket and proceeded to checkout.
Is it somewhere after this you get an out of stock, or are you following different links?

huh!

when you add to basket and try and check out, accept terms and bing, sold out message
