Guest Matt Kirby Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) We all know and hope that these two phones will be with us soon, and that they are up on Orange's website, but they are also shown in the brochure for Orange retail. The ad states that the SPV C550 is coming soon to Pay Monthly and PAYG, with the M500 only available on Pay Monthly (and only available to buy from Orange Business Centers). Here's the advert: (M500 - Mini SD? I think not!) And here are the specs: (More errors - M500 - No speakerphone, Orange Backup or POP3? Yet another error (noticed by mupwangle) - apparently it's over a meter long! :?: ). No suggestions of prices, or exactly when they'll be available. Edited July 6, 2005 by Matt Kirby
Guest Pondrew Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 Good spot. Amazing how Orange can get so many of the features of their own devices wrong... :shock:

Guest mupwangle Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 Nobody seems to have noticed the obvious error - the M500s dimensions are listed as about 6cm by 2cm by OVER A METRE!!!! New Orange M500 - also useful as a backscratcher.

Guest Matt Kirby Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) I hadn't noticed that! :) I'm glad that the picture isn't actual size - they'd need a special fold-out page to fit it in. Why can't Orange get the info right on thier promo material? No wonder Orange staff find it hard to obtain the correct info if the material they are given is inaccurate.

Guest spidermunky Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 Just shows you that all that time they said they spent 'testing' was a lie. I'm glad I got a Qtek instead :) Greg
Guest Microsoft Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) Does C550 have Wlan :??: Edited July 7, 2005 by Microsoft
Guest chrisbpr Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 Does C550 have Wlan :??: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> as far as i know it doesn't , b ut there was talk of a mini sd wfi card doing the rounds a little while back. a company called spectec had it on their web site.

Guest jonhitch Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 Can't wait for the M500. I wish Orange would decide whether this will be business only or fpr personal? One day yes, one day no! Looks like the wait is almost over - seems like the C550 will beat the M500 into the shops by a couple of weeks though!
Guest rico2k_uk Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 Yet another error (noticed by mupwangle) - apparently it's over a meter long! :?: ). errr, it says 125mm! thats 12.5cm... a lot less thana meter!
Guest Pondrew Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 errr, it says 125mm! thats 12.5cm... a lot less thana meter! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Think you're looking in the wrong place. It says 1108... don't see your 125mm anywhere?!
