Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 News just in (I posted this once and accidentally deleted it... doh!): Orange Retail are to EXCLUSIVELY offer the C500, normally available only in Black, in 'Champagne' (same as the Qtek 8010). This is exciting news, as opinion seems to be split as to which colour looks best - time to decide which one to have P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Bah, bad marketing desision by O. The Silver will flop and they'll be stuck with a bunch of handsets no-one will buy... :P [Edit: Fixed Mono's spelling and badly formed XML - Paul] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ferryrich Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 So does that mean my original SPV which I've been calling silver all these years is actually Champagne? I feel I've been doing it a disservice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways. Have posted this before, but do you guy's think there's a chance the black one will be sold unlocked? Now that Orange customers get to choose between two colours, the rest of us non-orange's should to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Samsonite Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I cant see any details of this new toy on the O UK website but they are showing the SPV M1000 (O2 XDAII equivalent) now for £249.99!! and just to be involved, got to be a silver/champagne/metallic grey/pearlescent graphite 500 everytime... now if they were talking iridescent purple or blue i would be able to talk the wife into having a decent phone...

Guest nedge2k Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 My Galant was champagne :P I hope this doesnt mean silver...for my money the goldie/slivery look is much nicer...my 2nd ever mobile was champagne (Moto M3588 - house brick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Well its got the be the black one.... champagne is an off silver... but the worrying thing is there are alot of variations... including slightly yellow, 'dirty' or pink.... any confirmation of the actual shade would be good! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nickcornaglia Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 If it is the champagne color HTC used for the PPCPE devices...let's hope the coating doesnt peel off over time with wear as it did on the PPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I think my long suffering other half summed it up best - she said it looks 'retro' in Black, which sounds about right! I think i'll be going for Black, it looks great in the flesh! P Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
