Guest d3f3nd3r Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Anybody have any info on when this will be available? Or even where I can buy one from overseas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr Who Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Well, my constant pestering of Orange has revlealed 'July'. Since there is no actual date listed this apparently means that it won't be out until some time in August, eg the Nokia 7610 had a release date of 'late June' and will be out 12 July. I guess we are all hoping that the C500 addresses all our various issues, a bit like XP after ME. I live in hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Helix Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 They said "Give it two months" to me. But that was in mid-June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d3f3nd3r Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yep, I got a few replies of 'July' as well. Thing is I am starting a new job August 2nd for which I'll need a new contract and I don't wanna buy some existing phone only for the C500 to be released 10 days later! Aren't thse phones available in other guises from somewhere else? My usual place, Expansys doesn't even know about it. I currently have an Imate Smartphone2, but that will have to go back to my employer when I leave! aaargh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr Who Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I am similarly time limited. If it gets too tight I may go the Symbian route via the Nokia 7610 released on Monday, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pd.ryder Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I bet I'm back here in September moaning that my contract is up for renewal and the C500 still hasn't made an appearance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kurtfhouse Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Thankfully my contract isn't up til December so its just a case of how early I upgrade :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d3f3nd3r Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 6th august. Do you have that on good authority or is it best guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Desser Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Do you have that on good authority or is it best guess? He works in Orange retail, so it's probably "on good authority" :D That's not to say Orange won't move the goalposts :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goinnuts Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 cheers simon, these dates can change weekly, if a new bug is found or if a shipment fail quality testing (eg. 6230) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lingerhosen Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Quality testing? What is "Quality testing?" Not like the Big O to let a few bugs stand in the way of more cash! :wink: Anyway, I thought that was our job!

Guest blackhorse Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 cheers simon, these dates can change weekly, if a new bug is found or if a shipment fail quality testing (eg. 6230) I can second that, i work in orange retail as well. Were told early august. But as stated the Nokia 6230 was released (about 12 a store) then O found there was an icon bug. Held up more deliverys until it was sorted. This entail delayed the next batch for another 4 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RussellH Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'd rather hang on a bit and not have any bugs than get it sooner and end up sending it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
