Guest AaronSoup Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Just been reading a press release saying htc are working on a new phone for the launch of orange's upcoming 3g network. the network is to be released in q3 of this year and other operators working on 3g phones for orange include alcatel nokia and motorola. Hopefully we'll be seeing three g orange spv300 this september! :) the only thing i'm looking forward to is the prospect of a high speed net connection (3g is 378kbps) and hopefully a megapixel camera.

Guest pisquee Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I just hope their 3g data access prices are better than their GPRS access prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I just hope their 3g data access prices are better than their GPRS access prices You are joking aren't you? They have to recoup their outlay for the 3G license some how and guess who's gonna pay for it...... Back on topic: A HTC 3G phone? Cool, more beta testing for us! I will never buy a HTC phone ever again; they are unreliable, (seemingly) untested, pieces of cr*p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AaronSoup Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 They are currently testing the 3g network in 4 parts of France (being a french comany and all). They will be doing a 4000 peron test in various places in the uk including London and Manchester.. No idea how to put my name forward for beta testing,,,, Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never buy a HTC phone ever again; they are unreliable, (seemingly) untested, pieces of cr*p. You do realise that HTC also make the XDA2 (also Orange M3000), and every Compaq / HP iPAQ? The only non-HTC Smartphone on general release in the UK is the Moto. Do you really want a Moto? Just thought I'd let you know before making any expensive future mistake.

Guest mcwarre Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 You do realise that HTC also make the XDA2 (also Orange M3000)They may make it but they sure as hell didn't design it. They manufacture it to the standards laid out for them. and every Compaq / HP iPAQ? See above. The only non-HTC Smartphone on general release in the UK is the Moto. Do you really want a Moto?Got one and believe you me it is of far better quality than any HTC designed & built phone. I had my original SPV replaced 6 times due to faults with it (not me dropping it or owt, pure faults). Just thought I'd let you know before making any expensive future mistake. Gee, thanks for that because I haven't made any mistakes, expensive or otherwise. Firstly, the MPx was free, and secondly it is a stable, well designed and well built phone. Maybe HTC should ask Motorola for lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AaronSoup Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Well built phone!! Man all I did was threw my mpx at a wall in a drunken rage and it snapped in two... :lol: Maybe that is asking a little too much from Moto though :) mpx is the best designed smartphone available... Motorola did a great job on it... If only it was Smartphone 2003... Still looking forward to the new SPV... If it's going to be Oranges flagship model then I expect it to a) have a nicer on the eye design :lol: be properly tested (the last thing Orange needs is bad publicity for 3g, it's going to be hard enough persuading people to buy them already :lol:) Maybe i'm asking too much though lol...

Guest chucky.egg Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 No idea how to put my name forward for beta http://www.trials.orange.co.uk Don't suppose it's there yet, but that's where they tout for "testers" to try out new flaky services. I was on the GPRS pilot, got free GPRS before it was launched and got *2* GPRS handsets for free. Wouldn't mind a couple of 3G handsets (but no HTCs for me either, thanks all the same).

You might also find HTC making phones for Moto soon. Did you know that Moto doesn't make or design the MPx series phones? All Taiwanese ODMs. Seems a couple of you had repeated major problems with smartphones, but you appear to be in a very small minority. I have had problems with mine, but I still won't go back to my old handset (T68i)......unless mine dies again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maverick Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 You are joking aren't you? They have to recoup their outlay for the 3G license some how and guess who's gonna pay for it...... What we probably dont realise is that we are already paying for it via high GPRS access charges !! Back to the topic: What about EDGE phones? Are there no plans to introduce EDGE by the networks?

Guest londonlad Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 HTC isnt that bad, there phones are quite good, its the fact that they get lumbered with beta OS's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 the MPx...is a stable, well designed and well built phone. Maybe HTC should ask Motorola for lessons. Strange. I could have sworn there were reports of bottom left diagonal/button combinations not working, getting stuck on moto screen, poor signal strength (often leading to battery discharge in a short space of time), and a VERY HIGH (didn't Awarner suggest nearly 100%) chance of sim card clips failing on that phone? I wouldn't use the words stable or well designed myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest londonlad Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 LOL, to the moto build quality fans... guess who they're gettin to build future models? can i get a H ? can i get a T ? can i get a C ? now scream H T C ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AaronSoup Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I agree on the signal mpx thing... it;s kinda s*** on the mpx... as for Edge... if nokia 7600 is EDGE on 3g network, i see no reason why any future MSMobiles can't have it....
