Orange UK rolls out the Sony Ericsson W880i
Exactly 22 days after the W880i was announced by Sony Ericsson, good ol' (and apparently really fast) Orange UK gets this wee device out the door for "pay monthly" customers. True to form, our distant friends in Europe get mobile toys first -- if this handset were to ever grace our shores and store shelves, you can bet it would be months after announcement. Orange seems a wee bit confused about the specs on the device though; battery life is listed as 2.5 hours talk time and 1 day standby. With power specs like that, we doubt these nano-sized cells will be flying off the shelves -- talk time should be listed as 6 hours with 452 hours standby time. Sounding a little more attractive now?[Thanks, Orange Man]

It's not just Orange, most stores (Carphone Warehouse) and networks have had this in stock for a week. Been available SIM free the same time.
It's free on 12/18 month contracts and £299 (approx $560).
Picked a Silver one up sim free and it's a great little phone but nothing groundbreaking.

It is also available here in australia. My supplier said he would send it out today and I should have it Tuesday.
