Reports are coming in from various places that the B7610 will be available in the UK, with Windows Mobile 6.5, very soon. At least one online retailer has listed the device as ‘in stock’ (NOT! Now listed as ‘Due November’) and one reader on the blog is commenting that Thursday could be the big day.
Pocketnow reports the B7610 with WM6.5 being ‘just around the bend’ although PocketLint is reporting a 30 November date for the B7610 on the 02 network in the UK. We’ll just have to wait 24 hours to see!
Thanks to everyone that commented in the previous article. News about Portugal and Italy there too.

It would now appear totalpda.co.uk have lost or sold their stock. Now due in November.

These tricksters. I see it so many times. Websites show availability and then remove it. It’s all part of the marketing process I guess!
Thanks for the info.

It is nothing more like marketing – who is going to be first, who has the biggest stock, who has 2gig internal memory version … ? It`s easy to write on your website : available from 6th Oct … and with small print on the bottom (shipment etc 3-5 days, small delay possible)

play.com has changed from tomorow to 16 of november this is going to be one of them horribly annoying things that will get released the day after you get a different phone because of the annoyance of consumers not being given any info

Haha.
But don’t forget that you can order a qwerty-euro keyboard version from Holland. It re-flashes to UK language.

I love this phone and totalpda.co.uk had stock but sold out quick, my expansys b7610 came with 6.1 but 2gb rom, when i start it up, the windows 6.1 screen comes up in green and i see a tiny bit of white light but after the screen goes it vanashes and never returns, strange, never did get the nice helicopter demo

Thursday :
There is no Omnia Pro available :/
I have checked 5 carphonewarehouse stores in and around Southampton, phones4u, vodafone …
Only in the most new carphonewarehouse newspaper I could find the picture and info that it`s available in pay monthly from 30 pounds p.m.
I`ve been told that they didn`t get handsets from samsung :/
Will have to wait …

hi guys
i bought my omnia pro from expansys u.k
i have managed to get it online (after loads of hassle ) now it still wont sync to get my emails and loads of other functions still dont work
so far expansys support have failed to reply to any emails , there management cant put me through to support either ……. pretty bloody useless !
samsung u.k are unable to support the phone as its not officialy out in u.k , and all major networks say the phone is unsupported
looks like a nice phone but id have to say dont bother rushing out to buy unless your in a rush for a flash looking doorstop
