When can I get WIFI?

[Guest 1T-M0nk3y]

My contract with Orange is due to end in a couple of weeks and the biggest problem I had with my C500 is that I could only get my work e-mail whilst my phone was cabled to a PC or I had to pay extortionate amounts of money to get loads of garbage sent to my phone by GPRS

All I wanted from my upgrade was WIFI and that is the one thing which a year down the line still isn't available in a phone (as opposed to a PPC which I refuse to hold to my ear and I don't like headsets)

I would like a contract smartphone with a (any) UK call provider and WIFI - when can I expect to be able to have this? :cry:

Allegedly mid-October, but according to a preview on CoolSmartPhone.Com Orange have decided to release a version of Tornado WITHOUT WIFI.

Any ideas when one of the other networks are rumoured to release their WIFI enabled Tornado variants, ala Qtek 8300?

Don't trust expansys! Two times I ordered a product which was due in stock in "2-3 days", and ended up cancelling the order after waiting 6 MONTHS.

Expansys tends to list overly optimistic lead times, often claiming they can ship a product before the manufacturer has even announced a release date - it's an attempt to con people into placing an order with them by pretending to be able to deliver it before anyone else.

Thanks for that, I appreciate the heads up

I'm assuming that they do this to convince people to order at their prices, as they are very expensive - I have already pre-ordered my SP5m with another supplier who don't yet have a release date - I just hope it's before my Orange contract expires. Not looking likely, it'a less than a month :shock:
