Guest amo Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Hey fellow MoDaCo'ers, Just received this weeks trading focus document at work, and can confirm the SPV C550 will be launched next week (approx Wednesday 13th July). Most Orange Retail stores get their delivery Wednesdays, however some receiving two deliveries (one on Friday also) so make sure you get to the stores then! As most of you know, we've had the dummy handsets in for some time now so you all have the chance to check out the size and weighting before committing to the purchase. The C550 WILL also be launching on PAYG soon after its contract release! The Official prices will be as follows (both for new contract and upgrades): Line rental below £24.99 - Cost of phone: £129.99 Line rental £25 and above - Cost of phone: £Free! On a side note, the M500 will be available only within business stores. Hope this info is of use, not sure if it was already posted elsewhere :roll: Edited July 6, 2005 by amo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squattie Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 My C550 should arrive today according to OneStopPhoneShop's online tracking. I ordered it on Sunday @ the bargain price of £70 over the 12mth contract after cashbacks (on OVP Relax 100 - though I'll just be putting the SIM in a drawer for a year as I already have an active contract to use it with!)

Guest koe_182 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 luckily im due a upgrade on my contract right now, i actually just phoned orange up today before i'd seen this to enquire about what phones i could have, they said they didnt have a date for this yet, and i was almost swayed to another phone. might as well wait for this now! anyone any idea what kind of price a upgrade will cost, are SPV's generally free upgrades?

Guest PenFold101 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Does anyone know if orange ever offer a pre-order option on phones? I rung up orange on monday enquiring about the C550 and I was told that they are still in review, and IF they get out of review they are due july, but thats more then likely to be august, and thats IF they do actually pass the review, which they might not :D To be honest I took that statement as "They are coming in, we just dont know when" :) What I mean is is it possible to ring up on monday and get my phone ordered then, or will i have to que up at the orange shop in town on wednesday to get it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amo Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 PenFold101: It depends on the Orange shop - Im sure if you pop into your local one and leave them your details they will be happy to reserve one for you provided they havent taken too many orders already. Could a mod close this thread as its been made a news item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
