I really hope it's not right but i just called orange and the person on the phone did'nt even know of a C600..............duh

So i have no idea what is going but i know i need a phone as my C500 is dead...lol

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Don't worry about calling Orange last time I was asking about the M500

after it's release the Orange CS denied all existance and said there was no such thing.

Ok so anyone any ideas on when the C600 will be released in the UK as orange CS have'nt got a clue.............. :oops:

[Guest penguin]

not got a clue phoned orange to find out when my contract is up (5 days and counting :) ) & also asked when the C600 was out & he said they've not got a release date ?!?! they need to sort it out & sharpish

[Guest Disco Stu]

Moved to Tornado section and hoping this is a bogus report :)

[Guest incey2005]

I am thinking of just getting a C550 as my C500 broke and at the moment i'm using a crappy sagem myc-3b errrrrrrrr. I want the C600 but have no idea when or if this phone is going to be released. So what do u guys recommend waiting to see if the C600 comes out or just go for the C550.

Hope to have some info on this within the next few days.

According to the coolsmartphone website theres an article in What Laptop magazine about the c600 with a price depanding on contract but no release date.

Just wish they get their act togather. :evil:

[Guest peekie]

orange should change their pdf spec sheet then , as there will be a few upset people who expect word and excel on their phones :|

[Guest incey2005]

Anyone have any ideas on how much orange will charge for the C600 on contract or do you think it will be free.... :??:

[Guest Disco Stu]

£0 to £170 according to contract, if I remember the coolsmartphone item correctly

[Guest Leaskovski]

Paul,

So if i phone 150 and say i would like to upgrade then will they say, oh yes, its on its way, or will they say... WTF are you on about?

Is that the same handset you got as part of the business/preview testers, just packaged in a retail box, or is it a separate handset you've purchased yourself on a retail tariff?

And if the latter, who sold it to you? :D
