I don't think it really means out of stock.

I checked at about 11 this morning, and it was coming soon.  I wonder if the shop software, has automatically moved it over at a specified time, but as there are none in, put it as out of stock.

[Thumper Net]

Seems to be in stock now as my brother in law has just ordered one and gets it on Thursday. me i have to wait

[mbeattie]

OCS are always last to find out anything, the front line of oranges customer service seems to be the last line in information.

Someone will phone later today and be told different i bet.

[Wozbacca]

this pisses me off.... i hate the fact that there are 2 stock piles... why arent existing orange customers ever able to get the phones they want?

if orange have m3100's anywhere, they should make them available to anyone who wants them?? surely that just makes sense!

My experience of upgrading..........

Me- I am considering leaving Orange for TMob and want to see what you can offer me

OCS- OK Sir, which phone are you interested

M- M3100

O- The Sony Ericsson?

M- No, the SPV

O- Its not out yet.

M- Yes it is.

O- Oh. Ah yes, but its not on the upgrades system yet.

M- Oh.

O- Oh.

M- I am leaving because of the data packages offered by TMob. Can you tell me about your Panther tariff and your £8 unlimited browsing offers.

O- Panther is for data use after 7pm and at weekends.

M- Not very good is it?

O- The £8 offer gives you 8Mb of......

M- I mean the UNLIMITED £8 offer. It specifies WAP browsing. Does this mean Orange World only?

O- Mmmmm I can find no details of this. I suggest you email Orange online for an answer.

M- BYE!

Right call me all the names under the sun but...

Im starting a new orange 18mth contract even though my current one has 4 months left.  Reason:  The Vario II looks shocking with that horrible purple/red crap, and the one orange deal doesnt seem bad..

m3100: £49.99

£40 a month, 660 anytime, 400 texts, unlim orange off peak calls, no data (but the £8 does exist somewhere)

Doesnt seem that bad really apart from data.

What ya think?

[jimbouk]

So they have stock - I spend £150 per month with them...can I get one as an upgrade...NO - they are only available to new customers sir"

Apparently "it is the same with all networks Sir", so a new customer spending £30 a month is more valuable than me? "Not at all sir, but ..."

"You are of course free to leave for TMobile, we will take 3 days to issue your pac code and they will take 5 days to affect the switch over..."

Cuts me off...

[mbeattie]

I have been trying to get by with a semi-broken SPV c500 for awhile now waiting for this device.

Being a Loyal orange customer who could leave at any minute to then be told that the M3100 is to be released to new comers first and existing customer last. seems backwards if you ask me.

Does anyone know, from experience how long the wait is for the device to reach Upgrades. is it a week wait or longer.

[jimbouk]

It is usually a week or so.

[Wozbacca]

why is this thread in the smartphone forum?!

shouldnt it be moved to the hermes forum?

[Pondrew]

Oops! Passed me by until now. Moved to Pocket PC Hermes section...

[scotty1978]

I've just called Orange to upgrade and there system is currently down. I was told that I couldn't upgrade as the phone wasn't out yet. Once I'd pointed out to the guy that according the website it was I was then told that It wasn't available on upgrade. It seems that new customers are more important to Orange than the ones they already have.

[FragMeister]

reminds me of that Nationwide advert.

Can I borrow your pen?

- No, thats for brand new customers only!!
