I just got of the phone with the Orange center (NL) and they could give me with the definitive release date!
It will be available in Juli, but 'probably available in the Orange Shops from June'. They will send me the full official technical report today, but he read it to me and it stated that it will include WINDOWS MOBILE 2005 when it's shipped!!!! -260.000 colors -1.3 megapixel camera + flash -Windows Mobile 2003 SE (specs sheet states WM'05..upgradable perhaps?) See full specs in Attachted PDF. Regards EDIT: I got the information in my mailbox. It doesn't look too official (that's because it isn't  ), and it's in Dutch. But you can take my word for it, or let other NL Modaco users call orange.

Well, even if that is true, Orange UK will probably release it with WM2003se round about the end of next year! :evil:

 I was merely being insulting about Orange UK, who have a very chequered history of releasing products a long time after others. The possibility of the C550 including WM2005 has been discussed here previosuly, and has not been confirmed. And again, I was being insulting about the possibility of Orange UK actually providing this.Put it this way ... if Orange UK does indeed provide the C550 with WM2005 by the end of June, then I will eat not only my own hat, but also any other hats that members of this forum would like to send me!

WM2005 and 128MB RAM?

I don't know much about the different approach Orange UK and NL handle, but it would be very strange if they launch it in holland with WM05 and in UK with WM2003se.
So I will send my orange cap now, so it'll arive on time Hmm, I am wondering if the tele worker just didn't know that this info isn't officialy confirmed yet. I was thinking on how to prove this email is genuine.. I could post an screenshot of the mail with the headers, but with a simple DOM editor that's also easely tweaked.. let alone photoshop... If anyone has a good way to prove an email is real.. tell me Anywayz.. the delay will be well worth it when it really does ship with 128mb |

Can confirm that today the validity of the previous posts. I read a report stating its release in July here in the UK earlier at work today!
Unfortunetly its not clear about the WM05 situation but its definitily in line for July. Even listed as the HTC C550 as opposed to SPV C550 - so not sure if thats a positive indication (Orange not ommitting features/software)? -------------------- "I'm sorry you'll have to speak up - i'm wearing a towel"

I would imagine that it's going to be very unlikely it will have WM2005, after all the OS only went RTM to HTC etc end of May.
And if it was I'm sure there would be more 'traffic' on the various sites just like there is for the HTC Wizard etc. |

I tried to get a statement from the Orange press informants, but I just got an email back with the line (more or less) 'As long as it is not released, we cannot give any information'
And that's more than logical that they won't do that seeing the sceptic reactions towards Orange statements. I wonder if I should enquire more by replying to the Orange Service employee who gave me the fact sheet (pdf above) and asking for more information and why the press center keeps its lips together. But would it be worth the trouble? Afterall we'll see it within 31 days.

I'm in contract situation until 8/20/05.
My thoughts are: first it was may, then june, now july (for England). Since I live in Switzerland (where a lot of things happen even more slowly) it might still be fresh on the market when I can get it!

If you click on the images of the C550 (at engadget's website), it takes you to coolsmartphone.com. There it says, "The latest gossip is that the Orange SPV C550 (pictured) will be launched on Orange on July 11th 2005".

I bet that the SPV C550 will not have WM 5.0!
