Orange Free Upgrade Time - Which Phone?

[Guest bigdan]

It's been long enough now for me to upgrade my phone (C500), I've had Original SPV, E200 and now the C500.

What should I get next?

I'm not bothered about staying on Orange as all networks are fairly similarly priced for what I want.

I have Tomtom Mobile and lots of other software so I'd rather stick to a phone that is compatible with all this but cant decide what to get.

Any ideas people?

After a Smartphone I wouldn't want to downgrade to a lesser platform.

Others have reported being disappointed at the lack of software and customisation avaliable for non-Windows devices.

I'd be most likely to wait for the C550 but then, before that was announced, I couldn't resist the wonderful temptation that is the iMate Jam (aka HTC Magician, MDA Compact etc) and I have no regrets.

Do you know if Orange have a version of that phone (iMate Jam)?

When is the C550 likely to arrive?

I thought about changing to T-Mobile and trying the SDA, is this any different from my current C500 apart from the casing?

Yeah I have a free upgrade waiting for me too and I'm interested in the c550, but is it likely to be available for free on a £30 contract?

Methinks not because of the 3G speed.

I'm sure someone on this forum must have a better idea than me!

I work on a 'believe it when I see it' policy when it comes to release dates.

From what I've read in the News section here though I'd expect Orange to have both devices available before Christmas... :D
