Guest NikLP Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Yeah it's pretty big by the looks! Also it will cost a frickin fortune when it comes out.... Just give us the damn M500 already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I know the M2000 is normally QVGA but Ive used one that is VGA, ok so its not specifically an M2000 but its that style of device. Im asking permission to post images. If you think the Universal is not that big I'd hate to see your definition of a big phone! :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Look forward to hearing more if you can tell it. Never heard of a VGA Blue Angel before... With regards the size, the same applies as ever, if you want a small phone you get a Smartphone...

Guest shakey68 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Just told by OSPS that M500 stock should be in at the start of next week... EDIT: Pffft.... stop rubbing our noses in it Dade! :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well after gettin back in touch with OSPS, they're now quoting stock/delivery for Monday so at least we're starting to hear the same things!!! Still wish they hadn't given me the run around though. It would have been better if they'd just told the truth in the first place. If indeed Monday is the truth, I'm not holding my breath I want my FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, just phoned up again and the nice lady I spoke to this time told me that stock was expected at the beginnnig of next week and that if they come in on Monday/Tuesday that I could expect delivery on Wednesday/Thursday of next week! Wooohhoooo - some consistency there - party on! \o/ o// \o/ \\o \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 or an M500 :) (that's if orange ever release it...) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, with the M500 and other Magician variants available, there is no reason to get a smartphone anymore, until they get smaller! :D I bought an iMate Smartphone (HTC Tanager) and it was thicker and longer than my Mini. Not wider, but the width wasn't an aweful lot more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonhitch Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Agreed! Size and functionality for the HTC Magician is great. The only problem is the lack of a keypad - that will still put many people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have not found a situation yet where I have missed the number pad. The T9 text input works great for MSN/SMS, and the onscreen dialer rarely gets used because of the easy-to-use speed dial (just press the down button!).

Guest jonhitch Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Excellent. Can't wait for the M500 to be released in the UK. Had a play with the T-Mobile MDA recently and was really impressed. Just holding out to get the Orange version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest soup dragon Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Just been told by my local orange shop that they expect the launch of the C550 AND the M500 to coincide. They are expecting them end of next week or early the week after. Surely not????? Here's hoping :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MitchellO Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 The C550 looks too big considering what the Magician (what a perfect name for a device like this :)) can do in almost the same size. Yes, thats not the C550, but its the same, just another brand name on it. The M500 and all other Magicians just kick these Smartphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonhitch Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I'll be getting the M500 - don't see the point of smartphones when you can get a proper PDA in such a small package. Cameras don't bother me either. I'd like a phone and PDA in one. If I'd like to take some photos (rarely) then I'll bring my camera. It will be a while before the quality of any PC phone camera (and functions) reach those of current digital cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ClintEastman Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Well i have just spoken to Updates, and guess what, the M500 IS business only for the foreseeable future (E.G. not out for at least 3 months). Please somebody tell me there wrong otherwise ill be on to cancellations. Please somebody fill me in as it's past a joke now. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
