Guest mutleyboy Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 you mean on pay as you go at that price do you?
Guest amo Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Whoops! must have forgotten that vital piece of info :)
Guest mkent_barbados Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 Not on Orange's website yet :cry:
Guest JOEJOETHEJOEY Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 The question is whether it's worth the upgrade from a C500? I've heard that it's got a few glitches in it.
Guest Seraphic Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 I'm thinking about the same. I love my C500 but do like the look of the C550 - is it worth it?
Guest Xenzo1990 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 I say upgrading from c500 to c550 is a no no no. Because there is little difference. However, upgrading to the m500, ah yes yes yes.
Guest Confucious Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 I say upgrading from c500 to c550 is a no no no. Because there is little difference. However, upgrading to the m500, ah yes yes yes. So a QVGA screen and 1.3Mp camera isn't worth upgrading for? And you want to buy all your apps again because smartphone apps wont work on PPCs? Your choice. I chose the C550 and I'm very happy with it
Guest Xenzo1990 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Not really bothered about the screen, and I never use my camera so wouldn't be much different. 2 changes aren't good enough to make someone move to a c550. I'de also rather buy new applications than use old ones with a thick black outline round them :) But, your choise. I chose the M500, and I'm sure i'll be very happy with it.
Guest Confucious Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 2 changes aren't good enough to make someone move to a c550. it was enough to make me change :) But then my C500 was nearly a month old... i'm sure you will be happy with the m500 but i don't like touch screens and the price of the device and apps also put me off. Good luck with you're M500, if you want a PPC that's the one I'd go for.
Guest Pug Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 I've been uming and aring about upgrading to the C550 but have concerns about the compatibilty of the apps I use on the C500. Betaplayer (or whatever it's called now) is a must to watch my movies. What about the dust issue? Is it cured? And app unlocking? Is it just as easy?
Guest Confucious Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 Betaplayer works fine Dust issue not cured (I haven't got a problem but then my C500 didn't either) App and SIM unlocking both work. The compatability problems are mostly with games and TomTom so have not affected meas the game I play most is jawbreaker (far better on the C550) and I use CoPilot not TomTom. HTH
