Guest summie Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Ok I haven’t written for a long time on these forums and maybe I’m not looking hard enough but there is very little info on the release dates of phones – namely the C500 and the MPX220. These phones are going to be great and I think everyone should share any info on release dates. OK – so this is what I have; I spoke to Orange CS because my SPV (yes the original) has got a headset mode problem – surprise surprise! Anyway the guy aske dme if I wanted to upgrade and I said not really because I was waiting for these phones to come out. So away he tapped on the computer to reveal that the O system says the C500 is due out in August and the MPX220 in September. However – another phone I like is apparently out this month which may or may not interest this forum – it is the SE z1010 (see carphonewarehouse.com in the coming soon section). Anyway please share what you have re release dates and let’s not get bogged down over the specs of this phone. Many thanks D
Guest Dr Who Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Favourite release date for the C500 is August 6th - to new customers only I believe!!! However the other day somebody mentioned it was coming, "in 10 days" and I think Paul commented that he thought that was highly unlikely. Doing the maths means that the 6th would have to be the earliest we can expect it. Lets hope the C500 rollout is faster than the M1000........
Guest summie Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 looks like the MPX220 is def going to be in Q4 - so October earliest. Why didn't I upgrade before? Also - Paul two things - do you think we should have a release date watch somewhere? Secondly - newbie - I'm a newbie? I know my post count is low but I've been a member here forever and used to contribute a lot to the smartphone community. (oh well) D
Guest drblow Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 i think a release date watch is a terrible idea. the forum just seems to get swamped with posts about when phones/updates will be released - some of which seem to infer that people are withholding any info they may have. having been an active modacoist for some time now, i am 100% confident that as soon as anything is confirmed regarding release dates, we'll be the 1st to know. creating a watch thread would only lead to more rumour & myth, which to me is totally unnecessary.

Guest Disco Stu Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 I agree. With more and more Smartphones being released it's going to get ridiculous.
Guest summie Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 hmm - the rumours get posted anyway guys - but it would be great to get them in a central place. anyway – my idea is to put somewhere a article or something with – eg Motorola MPX220 Official Release Date TBC/or October 2004 (updated 26 July 2004) Orange Official comment Motorola Official comment Rumour Mill: Modaco’s View This way – some of us who do not frequent the forum every hour of everyday do not need to search through 10 million messages relating to the MPX220 to see what the latest news is. Even if there was a “sticky” it would be a great start
