Guest jonhitch Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/show/handset/spv_c550/detail Orange have finally released the SPV C550. For many of you the wait is over. For those still holding out for the M500 looks like the waiting continues!
Guest soup dragon Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Hmmmm. I was really quite keen a few weeks ago to get a C550 as an upgrade from my C500, but having seen it I tend to agree with all the 'not much different' opinions that are out there. :?: I'm hangin out for the M500 I've always got my C500 if I don't like it (not much hope of that one though :))
Guest TheBadger Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 At last! After coveting my dad's C500 my C550 is on order. Any idea how long orange take to deliver? (It was ordered at about 10pm this evening mind)

Guest boyo69 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Where can I purchase this phone and have it sent to the US with no plan? please email me or pm me if you have one to sell <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you can buy the QTEK derivative at http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=122521 hope this helps! [Edited by Martin] Note the Qtek 8100 (same as SDA music) has a lower specification than the SPV C550 :) http://www.qtek.nu/default.asp?nc=1943&id=149&element=0
Guest korosu Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 well, now is the time to get a c500! :)

Guest Philpo Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Hey, Out of interest anyone else noticed there doesn't seem to be an LED anywhere on the front for the flashing on/bluetooth light? Anyone know anything about this, especially the guys that have played with one? Cheers :shock:
Guest ptwilliams Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Hung out to see if Orange Retail stores near me were going to get them in today, but after several phonecalls, all the deliveries had arrived, and guess what, no C550's til next week I was told. So have ordered mine from Orange over the phone. Delivery tomorrow or Friday :) Edited July 13, 2005 by ptwilliams

Cheers :shock: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are 2 LED's bracketing the speaker, one on the left red/green for battery status and 1 on the right blue for bluetooth status.
Guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Weird expansys.ie dont the qtek yet !! Anyone know if expansys uk ship to here ? No mobile operator has ever heard the term smartphone I think so no chance of getting it subsidised ..... but you guys carry on ........ don't feel bad :) gerryR
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Good ol Orange, I've not upgraded for 18months and they still want me to pay £130 for an upgrade :|
Guest MrG Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 ordered yesterday at 2pm, arrived before 9 this morning and no charge for the upgrade, good one orange.
Guest ptwilliams Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Good ol Orange, I've not upgraded for 18months and they still want me to pay £130 for an upgrade :| <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ring and speak to Orange Retentions. Tell them how disgusted you are with the fact they want you to pay, make them look at how much you've spent over the last few months, and mention one or two different networks options. They'll soon change their tune!
Guest Big_Dogg123 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 I have a C500 at the min. I was thinking of upgrading to a C550. Although this was when I thought the C550 had flash, as well as a 1.3 MP camera. No flash though, so I don't know what to do. I was really looking into getting an M2000 with the WiFi n all. What's the M500 like in comparison to the C500 and M2000? Anyone got any links to decent reviews on the M500?

Guest ripnet Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 Anyone seen one in a non online shop? anyone know any shops in south east London that would stock these already? thanks g
Guest the loc-man Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) just got my C550,ordered yesterday . charging now.. came with a 128Mb SD.. disappointed that there is no photo light though, I was lead to believe there was Edited July 14, 2005 by the loc-man
Guest gazbert Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 Right then! Got my c550 today and love it. That screen is BEAUTIFUL!! Only problem so far is TomTom won't work, not surprised really given the different screen resolution. Aside from that, anyone know of anywhere that's started doing HomeScreens? The built-in ones are really crap!
Guest Darkwun Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 whats the c550 camera quality like and how does the camera function for anyone who has it because the pics taken on the swiss/german review site with the camera look disgraceful
Guest thelondonthing Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Any indication on when we can expect to see the C550 on PAYG?
