Guest Rusty Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Got my spanky new E200 on saturday from OSPS and was very pleased with it initially. But after a couple of days thinking about it, i have decided to send it back under the 2 week money back thing from Orange. I already have an SPV which has 2months left to run on the contract, i thought the E200 might be worth getting an extra contract for, then scrap my original SPV contract when it ends in January. However, after seeing the rather long list of faults/shortcomings with the E200 and after bing pissed about by Orange for the last year not sorting out problems with the SPV, i don't have much faith that Orange will rectify any of the E200 faults any time soon. I was rather hoping and expecting the E200 to be quite problem free, after all, LOTS of feedback must have been gleaned from Canary/Tanager users. But alas, the E200, in it's own way is as buggy as them all and most of the bugs will never be fixed if Orange's past performance is any indicator. Mine will go back tomorrow and my trusty old Canary gets a reprieve.................if in a couple of months the E200 has been sorted, then who knows :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pagemakers Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I agree with you totally, but for me the E200 is the best thing out there at the moment. I am gobsmacked they haven't listened to us and fixed the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adrianfox Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I'm going to take my E200 back to the shop (under SOG act ) this morning becasue - Has missing pixel on display - Bad call quality (buzzing sound from earpiece) - only 4-way joystick - Bad battery life not to mention the bugs that have been discovered already!

Guest rryan Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I don't blame you guys. Mine should be with OSPS now and I'll be getting a call from sales about a new Nokia 6600 :shock: Roll on the SPV E300. Could it be 3rd time lucky? - Maybe....

Guest chucky.egg Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 i don't have much faith that Orange will rectify any of the E200 faults any time soon. Yeah mine's going back as well for the same reasons, and I am absolutely gutted about it! I expected so much better, and I really don't know what other options there are (P900 is probably the best bet for me personally). Gutted. Absolutely gutted. :cry: :cry: :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rikwebb Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Im not sure at the moment, I have 2 days left to think about it BUT, all the bugs are a pain. Wanted this phone as it has BT and so I could connect it to the BT Car Kit, activesync, GPS, Ipaq, Laptop etc etc..... So far it only works with the laptop, and activesync, but the battery life is sooooo crap, that you need to dock it anyway, or the battery doesnt last the day !! I am thinking about sending it back and getting the Nokia 6600. At least with the Nokia's, they do 'what it says on the tin', and have a reasonable battery life!, just the symbian os thats crap IMHO. I am so disapointed, been waiting for this for months, what a let down.... Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danbassy Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Mines going back too, What happens if i am in the middle of porting my number over? Do i send back my oramge sim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rhaleuk Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I have to say that Im shcoked so many of you are actually returning the phone. I agree with you that it is not a perfect product, but there isnt anything out there that truly competes in my opinion. Its still a great phone, with some imperfections. Just take a moment to think about everything that it CAN do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danbassy Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 It can do alot, but i need a good "phone" which is it primary use.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I have to say that Im shcoked so many of you are actually returning the phone I'm shocked too, I didn't think it would come to this, but like Rusty said in the first post - I dont believe that O, HTC or MS will actually fix the problems in an acceptable time frame. I'm not going to keep supporting their real-world beta testing. I'm really disappointed though, and not doing this lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If however, the T9, Email and other bugs are fixed in the Qtek 8080 I would have no hesitation in dumping my E200 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MARKUKCOUK Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 for me the main problem is in call quality. i will be returning mine to onestop. ill ring them later. VERY sad its come to this :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zabirp Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 i got mine from osos too.. overall im happy wid da phone, it works fine(so far!!).. i agree that battery life is poor, very poor indeed... You have a 2 week return policy so why not keep it till next week then return, test it out properly :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MARKUKCOUK Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 i go from one to the other really. maybe your right - ill wait a bit. the in call speaker vibration is so annyoing though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adrianfox Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Took my E200 back to the shop today! One of the plebs tried to convince me that this buzzing sound is "normal". I got a bit riled and the manager took over. The upshot is that I'm getting a replacement sent out tomorrow directly from Orange. I tried another phone at the shop and it manifested exactly the same symptoms. If the replacement is the same I'm going to push for my money back, even though I upgraded in store (and forfeiting the 14 day money back promise) as IMO the thing is not "fit for purpose".

Guest statscat Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 it could just be a faulty batch of phones. I don't get the buzz and just in case it was my hearing I passed it round the office to see if anyone could hear the "vibration / buzz" and they couldn't .......(maybe they are unable to hear the noise who knows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MARKUKCOUK Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 the buzzing is also present on the hands free kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest statscat Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 goinnuts (hope I got his username right) seems to think its the speakerphone as the nokia 6600 seems to have similar issues (its in another thread can't remember which) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gnuig Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Just saw this link: http://msmobiles.com/news.php/1700.html Maybe some word soon from Mr. O (he is online :? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adrianfox Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Just phoned Orange CS 150. They seem to have changed their tune. I've been told I can now take my E200 (in shop upgrade) back to the shop for a different model. They've put a note on my account to this effect. So mine is going back on Saturday for an MPX200!
