buymobiles.net don't seem to be able to upgrade me, at least not online. I will try phone ASAP.
I just wish P4U and CW would hurry up and stock this phone!
Sorry Damian, I didn't see that you had asked me this question. Here is a copy of the email I sent to Stephen Elop.
Dear Mr. Elop,
I am sure that this is an extremely tiny issue compared to the hundreds of other emails you must receive per day, so I understand if I receive no response from this message.
I have contacted Nokia via Twitter and Facebook asking form more information about when the Nokia Lumia 1520 would be available in Yellow in the UK. Reasonably, they told me to contact my local retailers and find out more information from them.
All the retailers I have contacted have told me they are waiting on Nokia to give them more information about when the phones will be shipped to the UK. I then used the live chat on the Nokia website and got told that they could not help me and nobody in the company knew when the yellow 1520 would be available.
I am very eager to purchase this phone and would greatly appreciate a rough date/estimate as to when the phone will be available for purchase in the UK. I do not feel as though I am making an unreasonable request, I am simply asking to be told more then "be patient".
It really shouldn't be this hard to buy a product.
I've now sent a follow up e-mail to Simon Rayne to see what he says on the issue.
As far as I am aware, the cheapest deal at the moment is the O2 Refresh deal where you cancel the contract immediately and essentially end up with a sim free Red 1520 for ~£480, they will also unlock it for you no problem.
If you want a Black or White, buying it sim free and then going on giffgaff or similar seems like the best option.
If you want to be difficult like me and purchase a Yellow one, it would appear that all we can do is wait for now :(
