Found an SPV C500 with ease!

[Guest snakeeater]

Okay, sold out on the Orange sites and most other mobile phone sites. Sold out in the Orange shop in Swansea (South Wales) however Llanelli Orange shop (also South Wales) has delivery of NINE! - minus one now which is happily sitting next to me :)

Seems they were accidentally delivered ALL of Swansea'a stock so if you want one ASAP look up the Llanelli branches number and buy yourself a C500 today!

EDIT: Amazing phone, wasnt sure about the black colour until I held it and realised that it has a sort of solid metal feel to it! Really really nice phone!

I'm struggling to comprehend why so few phones are actually being delivered to the shops :roll: Surely each shop could shift 100 phones a week, not to mention allow them to hold a buffer stock for cretins like me who ordered from Orange Direct who now have to wait forever to get one (since OD are perpetually out of stock) while the shops give out 1's and 2's... I called into the Queen St Orange Shop in Cardiff at the weekend... Sure enough they had stock... Real physical stock someone, not me, could walk out with... I informed them I ordered an upgrade with OD and they said "tough, wait for the phone to arrive in the post" :oops:

Surely it would make a little sense to simply hand a phone over to me - I get a C500, they shift the stock - everyone's a winner 8)

Whats even more surprising is that a Little town in Wales would get so many LOL.

Look in the most unlikely places :)

they are doing it to make you wait and want it more, so that when they do get a delivery in there is a crowd of people wanting them and taking them strait away so they are not left with dead stock.
