Could this big delay not all be down to the fact that vodafone were trying to make a deal for the exclusivity. So while this was going on they just sent them to the us? Maybe it took a month or two for the deal to be setup?

I sat on a play.com preorder for a month before that. I wished I'd moved to nokia.co.uk sooner; I'd have my phone now if I had.
edit (maybe ;))

I think we should be in the second batch. Because the lady i spoke to said you are in the second. Hopefully your in the same boat. I was going to order from play.com as well but they delayed the release date so i thought forget it. Try nokia online store. Fingers crossed we're in the second batch and receive the phone by money. ( VERY unlikely, nearly impossible lol)

Good luck. Don't think you will get it before christmas. Might as well wait for public release the way things are going right now.

what is the "European" version and why is UK not in Europe?

BTW, if you don't mind a German layout: Amazon.de is going to ship on Dec 4.

some possibly interesting news for Amazon UK preorders:
Last week Amazon Germany set the shipping date to "in 3-4 weeks".
This evening it was updated to "Dec. 4th"

Hi again. I'm now thinking of purchasing the USA version. Can someone please tell me EXACTLY what the difference is, if there is any ? Thanks....

No major difference. it seems the only difference is on the wireless channels, 1-11 in US vs. 1-13 in EU, even tho I did not see many wireless networks using 11-13 channels here in Romania. Maybe someone could statistically say how many wireless spots have those channels.
Warranty might be the only real difference.

Your second sentence suggests your first question requires no answer. If you don't know what "European" means in a context where the UK is mentioned separately I'm not going to help you out.
