Guest PayableOnDeath Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Lets just say my company I work for have a lot of dealings with Orange. We were told the 9th of May a couple of weeks ago. I hope what we were told was accurate ;) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sounds like your company know more of whats goin on than what orange staff do lol :P cant wait for monday then ;)
Guest jimbo19 Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Just recieved my C500 today and it has WMP9 - obviously old stock Is it better to unlock it now - before the update or wait until the rom is released - update and then unlock ?
Guest davidhorn Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Sorry. I rushed this post. Hence the terrible spelling and grammar, etc. Thanks for ammending Paul. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If I were Paul I'd have written "3/10 - Spelling. See me" at the bottom...
Guest scottishdave Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 If I were Paul I'd have written "3/10 - Spelling. See me" at the bottom... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My spelling is perfect. It's my typing that sucks! :roll: Honest. ;)
Guest Tristan Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 More interesting is, if they all sport the new ROM, then the supply chain should have been flooded with third gen phones, right? I mean, if they took the trouble of flashing them, why not fix them at the same time?

Guest venomgames Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 Nothing on the Orange website yet... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nor now...
Guest scottishdave Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 I hope what we were told was accurate ;) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like how you backtrack a bit at the end
Guest ady2002 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 cummon on orange please release this rom, i am starting to get the urge to put the snail update on my phone , lol
Guest Confucious Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 Still not tere ;) Doesn't look like it will be released today. I want and I want NOW!
Guest fraktal Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Well, it's now tomorrow (or, for readers reading later on today, early this morning...go figure :| ) and there has been no update. dpeilow, you were WRONG! WRONG, WRONG WRONG WRONG but everybody makes mistakes, and, as you so eloquently put it, it was your "informers" that were at fault anyway, so no hard feelings. Never mind, eh...? Maybe they meant 9th May 2006?
Guest Confucious Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 This is the problem, I'm sure his informers are usually right but there are no guarantees - has anyone else heard a reliable date?

Guest tony_man Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 FYI I got a brand new C500 Yesterday and it op version 4.1.1.4 IE not a new version and hence no WMP 10 T
Guest muddy250 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 FYI I got a brand new C500 Yesterday and it op version 4.1.1.4 IE not a new version and hence no WMP 10 T <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Still no WMP10 eh? Now I still don't know why I need it, but just because it's out there I want it. Come on Orange I wanna play... ;)
Guest PayableOnDeath Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 FYI I got a brand new C500 Yesterday and it op version 4.1.1.4 IE not a new version and hence no WMP 10 T <{POST_SNAPBACK}> could be old stock as they will get rid of all the WMP9 ones first ;)
Guest PayableOnDeath Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Orange are now shipping new C500s with Windows Media Player 10 installed, and hence the new update! I didn't believe Orange when they told me so I went to the Orange shop in Bolton to "try out" a C500. I didn't get a chance to check out the Operator Version but it definitely had WMP10 on it. ;) So... we should expect the UK update any time now! [Edit by Paul [MVP] - spelling, wording] <{POST_SNAPBACK}> just been thinking are you sure it was a brand new one ? cos maybe the guy in shop had one that flashed with the french rom :twisted: I hope not, but mybe thats what happend :shock:
Guest scottishdave Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 just been thinking are you sure it was a brand new one ? cos maybe the guy in shop had one that flashed with the french rom :twisted: I hope not, but mybe thats what happend :shock: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't got a bl**dy clue whats going on. ;) I may go back to the shop (or another one) and ask to try an "out of the box" C500. :?: :exclaim: :?: :exclaim:
Guest pete1909 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Recieved a replacement C500 direct from Orange after getting annoyed with Dust under the screen. No WMP10 :cry:
Guest n2700177 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Any news when the Orange UK ROM update is going to be published? (any news regarding the update policy regarding Windows Mobile 2005? i.e. Are the WM 2005 be available (with a cost) like what HP did with pdas and WM 2003?)
Guest martinwilliams999 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Posted May 13, 2005 Any news when the Orange UK ROM update is going to be published? (any news regarding the update policy regarding Windows Mobile 2005? i.e. Are the WM 2005 be available (with a cost) like what HP did with pdas and WM 2003?) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's still nothing on the Orange UK website, other than the 4.1.1.4 update. I have e-mailed Orange a couple of times, but as yet they haven't bothered to reply. :x Next stop for me is imei-check to unlock my handset, then I'm off to orange.fr for ROM update 4.2.2.1
