Guest Zone-MR Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Thanks for giving me a temporary glimmer of false hope :o Unfortunatly, a very very very very reliable source who has a C600 confirmed it does NOT have WiFi.

Guest coldwave87 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 there will be no wifi on spv C600. Why do they just keep making the same thing?
Guest mcwarre Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 there will be no wifi on spv C600. Why do they just keep making the same thing? Orange did not opt for wifi on the C600 although it was available option.......... an
Guest Zone-MR Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 ... i-mate SP5 (available in 2 days) ... LOL... I'll believe it when I see it. Take any lead time eXpansys gives you, then multiply it by ten, and you're still unlikely to be close.
Guest shuurajou Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Agree with you Zone. Not purchasing from them before when an estimated delivery time is showing, I was a fool and pre-ordered the SP5. Said 2 days - in 2 hours it change to 9.

Take any lead time eXpansys gives you, then multiply it by ten, and you're still unlikely to be close. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're not far wrong. Just checked this morning and it has jumped from 2 days to 8 despite assurances that that the phones were definately coming in!! I'll wait the next 8 days and if they change it again they can shove it! :shock:
Guest renegade722 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 So... as the days go by, (6 since this topic was started) the general feeling seems to be that the c600 will be released without wi-fi. Going back to the first post by SkUk21, and the subsequent replies to that post, I have to again emphasise my opinion that this topic was started with an outlandish statement just to raise everybody's hopes with no true basis. Insider knowledge my ar*e... and you can keep your 9.5/10 points too

Woo-hooo :o

The operators often make (very) last minute changes to specs so seeing is believing.

Guest sporkguy Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Guys - topic poster is talking out of his behind. There's no word yet (apart from the deep, deep inside team) in *any* part of Orange as to whether the C600 will have WiFi. We'll just have to wait until reviewers get their hands on the final release. I think the tech department's main worry is the affect WiFi will have on the battery life. Watch this space.

Guest sporkguy Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 PM'd you sporkguy with quotation from internal documents. I have the same documentation as you do - where it only mentions it once. Like I said in my reply, I'm not going to put all my eggs in the one basket for now, we know how fickle the customisation dept get - especially as SPVs are their main area.
Guest SkUk21 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 Guys - topic poster is talking out of his behind. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i beg your pardon? its on scholar you dimwit
Guest Pondrew Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 i beg your pardon? its on scholar you dimwit <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Leave the name calling out thanks guys. Not what this forum is about. We'll find out the truth soon enough...
Guest chrisbpr Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 are we any nearer finding out 1. when this handset will be relesed & 2. will it have wifi as i am now out of contract & getting impaitent. i did think about going to voda with the sp5 but 18 month contracts & high gprs charges dont appell to me.
Guest mcwarre Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 i did think about going to voda with the sp5 but 18 month contracts & high gprs charges dont appell to me. Same here; I then looked a t-mobile. A walled garden service. Pah pathetic. TBH for all the moaning that goes on (me included) O are the best network IMHO.
Guest leftofcentre Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 Er.. sorry to be a plank but what exactly is the main benefit of WIFI? Is it so you can use your own web connection instead of having to use GPRS? Brian

There's no restrictions on my internet access with T-Mobile.
