Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 That's right, Monday 23rd August @ 19:00 BST we are holding a 'Meet the Parents' session. This session is a specially moderated chat session that will be attended by Mr Orange, an Orange technical representative, myself, members of my moderation team, and maybe a mystery guest or two - and will be your opportunity to put any question you like to any of us, about our pride and joys :) Got a burning question about the C500 you want to ask? Shoot! Have a MoDaCo question you'd like answered? No problem! To participate, simply click on the 'Chat' link on the site at 19:00 BST on Monday, or even better, download mIRC (http://www.mIRC.com) and connect to #smartphone on irc.modaco.com. Those who have been involved in similar sessions on MoDaCo before will hopefully agree with how useful these sessions are... so see you there! :P P PS The chat room is actually open 24/7... feel free to pop in and say Hi, and get some practice in before the event ;-) PPS Not actually sure who the mystery guests are... but they'll be worth talking to all being well ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Richie M Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 And hopefully Question Bot will behave in this session :) Hope to see many of you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good test for how well Orange's 3G card holds up :) Oh, and i rewrote a big chunk of QBot last night, so hopefully she'll behave herself more on Monday!

Guest blade001 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Damm, Unlucky me. I really want to be there but I won't have the net from monday for a week. Getting new broadband (Finally 2 meg connection :)) and apparently it takes a week to activate :roll: (well thats what I have been told, god knows how long it will really take :!: ). Second thought, I should have my c500 then, so I can go on the net using my c500 :P. I guess will see you guys there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest B@man Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 So are to to surmise that Orange have officially dumped all Motorola Smartphones? Will continue to reduce the accessories offered with new HTC Smartphones? Rushed out the C500 inspite of the known problems? I've been with Orange since they were Hutchison Telecom and one of the many that remember the Rabbit Phone, ".....set to revolutionise cellular communications...", how long did that last :? I'm not here to knock Orange but as a long and loyal customer I am trying to understand what they are doing to offer me the BEST product range? It's obvious the new Motto SP's are not what was expected, :cry: none the less they were an exciting prospect. I wonder if the M2000 will make it to the first stage :?: Disgruntled but happy to know the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chaser81 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 @MaximilianWeisheit Hehe, that would have been me asking that one! I remember some people on here asking the question, so I thought I would put it to Orange for you. Hope you liked the answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
