Guest trueno2k Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Same price as OMC? Why not get a Galaxy 2? Is there such a phone as the Galaxy 2 made by Samsung?... AND, I don't think the Galaxy SII would be at that price any time soon, well not for a few years!... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) guys, our omc's can do anything SGS2 or dual core smartphones do, only at half the speed...sort of like an Albatross at a third the price of a dual core :D with tripple the battery time....I'm on 66% battery after 18 hours of moderate use with wifi, bluetooth music, some news streaming...thumbs up for the arm6 800Mhz cpu :D I've been playing around with an HTC EVO 3D and it lasted 6 hours with moderate use, just charging up for the second time today. nearly 3 hours for a single charge :o unbelievable for a £300 phone... dont be put off by comments like from randsomman....unless you've got £300 to burn Edited January 16, 2012 by dadashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the Argos 'fire sale' is over, Orange still has them on display in the shops and on its site for £119 INCLUDING the £10 top up. This is still a good buy when you consider that the OMC was £149 PLUS the top up when I was looking to buy last August.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Voxpop2011 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi Can you give a link where the OMC is available for 119 quid INCLUDING top up? Orange seems to have taken down the link I saw at lunchtime and replaced it with this My link which seems to be an entirely different deal. Your best bet would be to drop into your nearest Orange shop for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SlavZ Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 There is any difference between OMC from Argos and one from the Orange shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leeolly Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 There is any difference between OMC from Argos and one from the Orange shop? No, they are identical, i have had one from each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dadashi Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's £89.99 again at Argos - here Choose buy or reserve and you'll see they don't deliver and all the argos shops are sold out... Argos cleared their large stock of OMC's very quickly for whatever reason...maybe they were hoping for sales similar to Blade last year...they ended up selling it cheaper than the blade Maybe they'll get another shipment soon....

I've had a look at a few places, and so far I've found them in stock in Exeter and Harwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
