Hi everyone,

I just thought I'd share the latest news with you that I got from Orange Customer Services when I spoke to a guy there last night:

I've been due for an upgrade for about 6 weeks, but have been holding off getting an SPV M3100 as I prefer the smaller form of smartphones compared to PPCs.

The chap I spoke to last night told me that he could no longer get details up on his screen about the SPV C700

He went on to say that because the release date for the C700 was August 24th (or thereabouts), and it was already about 8 weeks overdue, he didn't think things were looking good for this phone. His opinion was either that Orange might have pulled the plug on it entirely due to ongoing hardware or software problems with the phone, or it has been taken off their system because it is about to be released in the very very near future.

He suggested that I call back towards the end of the week, by which time they should have received a new spreadsheet for the last quarter of this year detailing which phones will be released / coming soon.

Has anyone else heard anything similar to this? Or can anyone enlighten me with more details?

Thanks

you got to commend Orange for this. After all the complatints the Mteor received I wondered how the hell Orange were going to fix them (not that it really bothered me as Orange don't operate here but I still wondered

)

They cant so they don't release a buggy phone (unlike HTC).

They REALLY need a new Smartphone out tho, so they should either a) give HTC an almighty kick, or

source one elsewhere.

I'm not sorry to hear the C700 won't make it to release, but i'm very sad that Orange, like T-Mo, seem to have forgotten about Smartphone loving customers.

Shame

There is now a gaping hole in the Orange candybar smartphone line-up, which needs to be filled by a nice new feature-rich model.

I guess its the M3100 for me

Thanks for the info anyway...
