Guest peekie Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Next week my old contract can be extended and i can get a free phone , my question is this is the C550 worth getting ? or should i wait till the C600 comes out , everyone raves over wm5 but thats going to be as buggy as hell until a rom update is done, so do you think its worth the wait or should i go for the C550 :??:
Guest confused and hungover Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 i can find no info at all about the C600... is there such a thing in the works? are there photos, specs etc... available?
Guest sponge Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Well, I'm due an upgrade next month, so I was considering the C550. But it will mean I'm stuck with it for 12 months. If the C600 (or whatever it will be called) comes out within that period I will be slightly annoyed. :) If it's due out in the next 6 months or so, I'd prefer to wait. But I have no idea...
Guest mavisdavis Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 I'll let ya know what I think to the C550. I'll hammer it in th e7 days I have to return by if I dont like it. Im in a very similer boat to yourself do I accept the C550 or hold out untill the C600 or what ever it may be named...

Guest squippo Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 .... and when the C600 comes out, everyone will be like, "should i buy this or wait till the C650 is available"????? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe so, but you have to remember that the C550 isnt a predecesor to the C500 (like the 'C600' will be) but more of a media version of the C500. Either way i called orange upto ask about it and they offered it me for free only 8 months into my contract and its coming monday. So im going to try it and send it back if its crap.

Guest the_ape Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Hiya, C600 (or whatever it's called) won't be out any time soon, the reason I say this is I was one of the sad puppies that was at teched last week, and speaking to the microsoft mobile team apparently NONE of the UK networks is planning launching WM5 untill a long time after christmas as far as they know. Also he said that Orange will probably not launch WM5 for the typhoons as an upgrade, he did have an 'Orange' c500 running WM5 there though and says it's great (besides the camera apparently), he say's however that it will be worth waiting for the new HTC based WM5 phones as there looking awsum...... Say's the Samsung is a good phone as well, however they are strugling with battery life on it apparenlty. Hope that helps `
Guest morpheus2702 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Right now, the 'C600' is nothing but a pure fan boy wet-dream 'lets list every must-have technology into one device' w***fest. Sure, that is not to say that there won't be a C600, or a 3G SPV or a WM5 SPV, but seriously, there is not a single piece of real fact to back it up at the moment. And even when vapour does become fact, it doesn't mean it's going to be any good. Remember the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' when the specs of MPx220 were announced? And then the running and screaming when it was realised it was a turkey?

Guest confused and hungover Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 LOL!!! that picture is crap
Guest morpheus2702 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 If that thing is the C600, I'll change my name to Susan.
Guest adchaffey Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 If that thing is the C600, I'll change my name to Susan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi susan. :)
Guest Pondrew Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 Susan! Where's the love? :) Seriously, I believe the C600 IS coming and I'm expecting wifi to be included (call me an optimist). This may or may not be the device in question but it's coming. One thing that does bother me though is how on earth they can launch this new device WITHOUT Windows Mobile 5. I mean, come on!
