Guest awarner [MVP] Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Now to think about switching one of my accounts to get my hands on the MPX220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 If you want to go to O2... I fully expect Orange to carry it too... I mean they'd be crazy not to right? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitfa Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Really? I though it was msmobiles that had reported previously that Orange were to drop the MPX220?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 And there's your mistake... listening to something MSMobiles wrote! That was a total misinterpretation of what was said in a MoDaCo chat... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AetherKnight Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Well, this is the e-mail exchange I had with Orange today... (7 Oct 2004) I'd like to enquire as to whether or not Orange will be carrying the due-for-release Motorola MPx220 handset, and if so, what the timescale is for its introduction. Many Thanks.Thank you for your mail received regarding the Motorola MPX 220 mobile phone. May I thank you for your enquiry regarding this handset. Regrettably Orange do not have any immediate plans to release this handset as it is not currently on our review list. This would mean that it is unlikely to be released within the next 3 months. May I apologise that I am unable to assist you further with your enquiry currently and I trust that this clarifies the current position for you. So it would seem that at the outside, Orange won't be carrying the MPx220 very soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pembo Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Yeah, I got pretty much the same, although I got told what phones were under review.. we are constantly extending our range of phones and the following phones are at present under review. Nokia 2650 Motorola C385,V3,V545 Sagem myX5-2 Samsung E300 Panasonic X700 Sony Ericsson K500i, P910i Im definately switching to the first provider to carry the mpx220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyrkesmith Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Yeah, I get the impression that Orange don't think there's room for too many MS Smartphones in their range (and possibly don't want the MPx220 to take sales from the C500). If they don't carry it, I'm seriously considering getting one on O2. Orange's reception is crap in my house (although I'll be leaving it fairly soon), and coupled with the apparantly not too greatly improved reception of the MPx220, I think I could become irritated. Nevertheless, if Orange come up with version two of the C500 and fix the bugs, I might be persuaded to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoos Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 if Orange come up with version two of the C500 and fix the bugs, Ha!! The C500 is 4th phone from the Orange/HTC relationship and each one had at least one update (maybe with the exception of the C500, I don't know....). I've lost confidence in HTC myself....

Guest midnight Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 yoos, i wouldnt criticise the C500 if you dont own one, its a cracking 'little' phone. And personally i'd rather have a phone they do update and fix bugs than a phone that never gets updates. (even if they are a bit slow on the update front) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RussellH Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Yeah, I got pretty much the same, although I got told what phones were under review.. we are constantly extending our range of phones and the following phones are at present under review.

Is that because it's Pocket PC Phone Edition rather than Smartphone, or could the M2000 be further from release than expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sonicr360 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I am not a fan of the C500 after playing with the phone for approx 1 hour in the Orange Store. But I am extremely pleased that O2 look like they will carry this because where I live, the Orange signal is completely non existant ^_^ And running a business with Orange has been very very stressful, especially when the signal is extremely poor (less that one bar on many many occasions). O2 signal here is great, as they were my original mobile service provider. I cannot wait!! Sorry, as I said, not a fan of the C500 - yes, its small, fast, but for me personally, it is not for me.

Guest Terrapin Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Just called up the O2 online shop and was told that the MPX220 might be available in the last week of november, subject to acreditation. They didn't have any price details. Am dead keen to get this, O2 have some decent online tariffs and i'm not spending another year with orange unless they let me keep my number and move to a new starters square deal package. Roll on november ^_^ Are there any reviews of the MPX220 about yet? I'm mostly interested in the size compared to an e200 and what the battery life is like, cheers.
