Bold released on Vodafone UK today?!

**__V__** · 08-12-2011, 01:56 AM

We all know Vodafone UK has had the 9900 on the pay monthly page for a while, and it showed the price plans as well, however when looking at these price plans and checking out it was clearly stated it was for "Pre-Order".
I've just been on the website now and there is no longer any "Pre-Order" signs or text any where to be seen, its like buying the phone normally.
Does this mean its officially released today!?

i tried to buy another one offline but they refused to sell them without a new contract/upgrade

they are locked unfortunately to voda with a voda splash screen as well.

My one arrived this afternoon. Doesn't have any Vodafone branding on it, which I wasn't expecting.

**badger906** · 08-12-2011, 07:53 AM

im waiting for mine to activate

apparently they've been having issues today

Pay anything for the phone?

**Rahularora1** · 08-12-2011, 11:37 AM

posting this in here as well to make it easy to search -

Fyi for everyone on voda - i just unlocked mine - £1.99 off a chap of ebay.

Slight change in unlock instructions from older bb's, if the standard sim card/mepd/mep2 doesnt work (i.e. no popup screen on mep2) then just stick the other non authorised sim card in the phone, turn it on and it will ask you automatically for an mep code.
