Does anyone have a C500 WITHOUT Dust?

[Guest xerxes]

I've been thinking of getting one of these for a few weeks now but having suffered through the original iPaq dust problems I'm a bit worried about this issue.

Please post if you have had a C500/i-mate etc for more than a couple of weeks. It would be good to know if this affecting everybody or not.

i have about 3 tiny specs bottom left of the screen, but u can only just see it when the screen is off

[Guest chucky.egg]

I've got about half a dozen specs near the "earpiece volume down" button, buit again you can only see them when it's off

[Guest Djarid]

Over 2 weeks now and no dust.

This is without a phone cover

and due to the left pocket procedure adopted by so many MoDaCo members (apparently) I also have no scratches yet :)

[Guest Phil Lee]

I've had my replacement phone for 2 weeks now and so far no dust. With my original phone I had dust after the first 5 days.

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Dust-tastic :)

First phone had a stupid amount of dust behind the screen, the replacement has one spec near the volume up/down rocker but you can't see it when the screen's on. Just noticed a couple of specs near the bottom of the screen as well, but can't see them with the screen on. Not looking good for the long term :)

I've had it for two weeks now. No dust yet. I use a siemens cover to clip it on to my pants, don't want to wear it in my pocket because of possible scratches

[Guest e200novice]

Should change username to c500 novice i guess? Had c500 for 3 days and have loads of dust under screen! Phoned orange though and they have told me to simply pick up a new one from the orange shop where i upgraded. Crap phone build quality but great customer service.

Does anyone know of a high street outlet selling a case for this phone or know of a case for another phone that fits??

[Guest barrybryce]

No dust. :)

But the only thing Orange have got right recently :lol:

[Guest kurtfhouse]

Mine has a shed load of dust at the top right of the screen, I am thinking of phonng Orange and complaining :cry:

[Guest midnight]

over 2 weeks old and no dust whatsoever, case is rather scratched though, just touch a silver c500 and it gets scratched :)

[Guest Mal]

No dust in mine, though I keep it in its case when I'm not using it (Nice little leather looking case from the orange shop). Nearly 3 weeks now.

Design specs and pics please :)

[Guest peekie]

will make some photos ect and post them :wink: :wink: :wink:

[Guest Cloda]

Nearly 2 weeks now, not 1 spec yet. The dust issue cropped up just before I bought mine, and I was sorely afraid. Peekie's excellent solution (vacuum attachment from a B&D mouse sander no less) shows that dust is not the end of the world though. Even with dust, I could never regret buying this phone. (Why do I get the ominous feeling that those words will come back to bite me :roll: )

[Guest plantagoo]

Hi!

No dust at all on my SPV C500 which was bought in CH.

Update on orange replacement for my dusty c500. Orange lied about the note on my account for a replacement unit!! Luckily the nice chap in the shop "discovered" a fault with the battery which resulted in a new phone anyway!

Basically orange will not now replace handsets because of dust ingress. I guess that they are beginning to realise that this is becoming an expensive issue for them.

Lets see how long the new one stays dust free!!??

[Guest griff_dai]

Yes, please post a new topic with your design specs and photos of this dust removal device (mines dust free)

[Guest barrybryce]

Edited out as completely irrelevant. In totally the wrong thread :oops:

[Guest fozzie]

Eh?

Ooops. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

I must have had two windows open or something... that was supposed to go in the metrofone thread in applications.

So not too far off then...

[Guest TigerNet]

...no dust in mine...yet!!!

[Guest snakeeater]

Mine has two little specs. Cant hardly see it with the screen lit. Big fuss over nothing IMO :roll:
