Guest tik Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 can't say more cos you don't know, or cos you're not allowed to say?! :)
Guest Davey Mc Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 I cant say more, just have faith! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well i hope its tomorrow cos otherwise im dumping the fruit. Where do you get your info from then dade are you an employee by any chance. When i worked the i used to get te phones for a couple of months to test before they came out, that could explain how you have one (or 2 rather).

When i worked the i used to get te phones for a couple of months to test before they came out, that could explain how you have one (or 2 rather). No, as previously stated I do not work for Orange.
Guest Davey Mc Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 The C550 has been released it is on the Orange website as free. Does anyone know when this happened. Im sure i check earlier and was still coming soon
Guest hunyango_uk Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) i think this iste might help you guys. deals on m500 enjoy :) sorry, didn't saw that this link was already posted by clinteastman. Edited July 12, 2005 by hunyango_uk
Guest sleighty Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 I cant say more, just have faith! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll go along with Dade... at least something is happening, two online shops have M500 listed now. Plan D - get Nokia 6630 free upgrade + Dell Axim X50v + duct tape and make my own HTC universal! 3G near broadband speed web access, VGA display and free web access on neighbour's unsecured wifi broadband :) Damn, it wont fit in my pocket :x Plan E - wait another week for M500; get M5000 NEXT christmas!
Guest Behold Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Im with dade it is 100% coming to domestic i have had that from good source. When hmmm looks like dade knows......! shall we all sing....."Why are we waiting my pc's hibernating...."
Guest jonhitch Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 I agree with you sleighty! Dell Axim X50v is a fantastic machine. If only they could miniturise it and turn into a pocket PC phone. M5000 still looks like it will be a big machine. I'll be looking for the HTC Wizard or Galaxy to meet my needs after the Magician. That's if Orange ever get round to releasing the M500!
Guest mbeattie Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Does anyone know how much the M500 will cost on pay monthy from orange or is that also still a grey area :?: I Mailed orange asking why they are the only company that doesnt have there own branded phone in stock but am still waiting for a reply. If its not out by end of next week then i can see a second contract starting up :)
Guest soup dragon Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 I have just been told by a team leader that they have not yet decided if this handset will be released on domestic as its still under review but a small business with 1 handset can get one. To be a small business customer you need to be VAT regestered. I used to work in Upgrades 3 yr ago and they have really gone down hill. I have demanded to speak to the exec office who are the people to speak with to get things done. Waiting on a call back. If no joy am going to T mobile tomorrow <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who told you small business could have it?? I'm a small business user and have just been told I can't have it.
Guest NikLP Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! When will this end?!?
Guest tik Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 fancy putting us out of our misery, Dade?!
Guest ClintEastman Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 fancy putting us out of our misery, Dade?! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes Dade.... Shoot me.... Shoot me now!!! :)
Guest Russell@home Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 fonetasticwarehouse have them in stock (when I phoned them at 9am) so I called OCS, they haven't got a release date. Do I wait or go for the C550???
Guest davem Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Okay, so I thought to myself, gonna call OSPS on why they are advertising unavailable handsets I ordered an Orange SPV M500 on 29th June, and the website has indicated since that the order is 'being picked'. I understand that this is a new handset, but it is now nearly two weeks down the line. Have you actually had stock of this handset yet, or has it been advertised ahead of stock arriving? When can I expect delivery of my handset?This is their response Thank you for your recent email. With regards to your order, we do not yet have stock of the SPV M500 handsets. Orange have not yet given us an expected date of when these handsets will be available. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. I've also had an email from buymobilephones confirming that they have stock, but my card won't go through on their site.... Grrrrrrr Edited July 13, 2005 by davem
Guest Davey Mc Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 I have just spoken to 02 who can do there version free on a 600 minute anytime plan with 75 text messages for 45 quid which is not bad, dont know if they are anygood though cos they used to be fairly poor
Guest davem Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Just confirmed on the phone with buymobilephones.net that they do indeed have them in stock now. Hopefully everyone else will too soon Edited July 13, 2005 by davem

If its not out by end of next week then i can see a second contract starting up :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was told they are to be releasing it cheaper than the M2000 (Price its at now) but a 30 quid minimum charge would most likely be set to all upgrades for the 1st month from release.
Guest tik Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 hmm, seems a bit steep given what OSPS etc are offering & given how cheap the MDA is on T mobile (free on £25+ contracts)
Guest Russell@home Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Scancom.co.uk have it in stock £49.99vat for non-business upgrades!!!
Guest jonhitch Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 I'm sure it's not *really* in stock is it!
Guest Russell@home Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 I called them to check & the guy said that stock arrived 20 mins ago! Also called Orange shop Worthing & was told that they didn't have stock but it was available from orange direct. Havent called them yet as I have called twice tody already!!!
Guest Davey Mc Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 I'm sure it's not *really* in stock is it! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats what i thought. You will order it then when it doesnt come and you call back they will say its not yet in stock like has been happening with osps. I really hope its worth the wait. Oh why i am on can anyone recomend a reasonably priced Bluetooth GPs system. I dont need top of the range, just something compatible with tomtom 3.5
