Samsung Omnia 7 Three UK

Sadly it would appear that Three in the UK are not currently listing the Samsung Omnia 7 as available dispite WP7 listing them as a carrier
Anybody got any inside info on why this is?

Omnia 7 in the UK is available through T-Mobile / Three / Orange. But following a series of great deals for this handset, I can confirm it's currently out of stock on T-Mobile, so I assume that is the case with Three. For the past few weeks Omnia 7 has been offered for £15.33/15.00 pm on T-Mob/3 respectively.

I wonder if the device is being heavily subsided by Microsoft/OEMs or the carriers themselves?
I.e. are the carriers trying to get rid of their Omnia 7s or is it a concerted push by MS to try and increase their share of the market..?

I don't think it's a MS attempt, because all the other WP7 handsets retain their £20-30 pm price bracket, at least in the UK market. (HTC 7 Trophy being the only exclusion). The Omnia7 (the 16GB edition) was offered in Germany, from T-Mobile @ 199eur (~£176) on PAYG, as well.
It seems strange, though, cause if there is one WP7 device that enjoys some success, that's the Omnia7. Just a wild guess, the Omnia7 was close to hit end of stock, and was offered on discount to clear.

T-mobile appear to be absent of Omnia 7's too ?
The reason I looked is that I ordered one earlier in the week for my father, he had play with mine before saying get one to replace his wm6.2
colleague wants a cheap smart phone again I showed him mine & said look for a Omnia 7 on T-mobile or three, from £15 the three deal comes with .5 GB of data
I got a report that the phones ain't there.
Orange don't have an Omnia just a Mozart

O2 Germany 32GB Lumia 900

http://wmpoweruser.com/o2-germany-claims-to-have-a-32-gb-nokia-lumia-900/
Wishful thinking but is this why O2 UK haven't any stock?

That is surely a mistake otherwise they would be shouting about it wouldn't they?
EDIT: well it seems that post has been updated with confirmation from O2 Germany of the spec. Interesting.

In a way I am glad of this, I now know to get one from Germany if the UK spec ones if they ever show have just 16GB, Hate the fact that we get everything last in UK, At least O2 Germany appear to be doing their customers proud with such a great Handset, Well Jel

When it says "confirmed by O2 customers service" here's what I picture happened;
WMPowerUser: Please can you confirm how much memory the Lumia 900 has?
Customer Service: Sure, let me check that for you.
At this point, they consult the website / catalogue, which as we all can see says 32Gb.
Customer Service: That phone has 32Gb memory.
WMPowerUser: Brilliant, thanks. Goodbye.

O2 had the omnia 7 with 16 gb of memory while everybody else had it with 8 gb of memory, i think that there is something here.

So are you saying Nokia have a seperate production line producing 32Gb 900's solely for the German market?

That was T-mobile, not O2
I believe the Germans also have a 32GB HTC One X, I wonder why they get these privileges on storage

I just can't see this, it'd sort of sound like suicide for Nokia as it'd alienate customers in other countries.

well like i said, o2 did have a history of producing larger storage in their devices, so i would not be suprised, and so what now there would be an option for 32 gb noia lumia 900!

O2 updated the page and it now shows 16GB.

Wow they certainly made a big Typo there lol, Well spotted.

Funnily enough I emailed Nokia earlier today to ask for confirmation and now it's been corrected. Seems the journos didn't clarify things after all.

Rogers Cyan Lumia 900

Looks like Rogers is getting the Cyan version of the Lumia 900 based on the new ROM that showed up....(Same version of the rom though)

Hmmm! Good find

Hmmm interesting! Does it ship with tango?
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

No same version of rom...as my post indicated Only Tango Rom showing up is the one from Finland but there is always a possibility that Rogers will wait until a firmware with all the fixes before making the cyan sku available which would me an updated firmware for all of us. Of course that's all speculation.

Ugh, I hope they release an update soon, getting agitated with purple screen, battery problems, phone lag, and a delayed touchscreen...
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

If this is infact true.. I will be a happy man. My AT&T cyan 900 has been collecting dust since the beginning of April due to no sim unlocking. Would love to ditch it for one I can actually unlock and use AND pick up down the street.
Hope this happens.

[Q] Move from Lumia 800 to 900

Hi everybody
Just bought a Lumia 900, after owning a 800 for 5 weeks.
On the 800 I bought quite a few games, and of course I dont want to buy them once more!
Is there any way to move the games from the 800 to the 900?
On Android and Apple devices you acount allows you to move to another device and redownload what you have puchased earlier - I have not found this option on the Windows Phone!?

Let me answer taht my self!
Just rebuy, you will be told that you already purchased the software, and that you can just reinstall!

Yes, but unfortunately saved game states do not persist so you will start from scratch there
There is on way to transfer those.

Lumia 900 (At&t) getting Tango on June 18?

So, according to this article http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/15/nokia-june-18th-pureview-808/, a lot of people are speculating on the announcement for the Nokia PureView 808, but, there is something else... the US Code of the Lumia 900 is also RM-808 and since all other countries with the Lumia 900 are already shipping with the Tango Update, I'm thinking the US version is due to get the update next Monday 18. Another curious detail is that according to the 'Hint' on the Facebook page from Nokia showing a Map of Hawaii, the location of the 2nd destination is 'Lumiaina Street'. So since there are 2 destinations on the map, it could be that they are announcing 2 things, one of them been the Tango Update for the Lumia RM-808.
what you guys think?

I think Verizon may be getting its Lumia 900 on this date too..
But anyway, Tango is really a minor update with sms/mms improvement, lower memory footprint for apps , tethering.

The BIG annoucement is likely the Microsoft Tablet, but yes it could possibly be more phone models with latest OS.

I absolutely agree.
Also, if you look at the photos in the Nokia US facebook page, there is one picture which was posted on the same day as these other pictures, which shows that texting pictures on the Lumia 900 and that is a feature of Tango.
So, I think Tango should show up tomorrow.
