"N80, when?"

[Guest 3times]

I want to upgrade to an N80. currently on Orange but pee'ed off with the upgrade fee and rubbish tariffs but fancy the better tariffs offered by T-Mobile. However in a T-Mobile shop yesterday and was told they will not be doing the N80 due to not enough demand :) To be honest thought the bloke was a bit of a plank but hope he is not right.

Does anybody have any info regarding this.

cheers

Turns out he was right. They are having network compatability problems with most of the N series, the next one out is the N93.........apparently :D

Well its good to hear they'd rather put off a launch than release it and be forced to deal with the hundreds of phone calls when people's phones start screwing up :)

Kudos to tmobile.

Has anyone tried a tmobile sim in a sim-free N80 yet? Interesting to see people's experiences.

oh and 3times: welcome to the forum :)

I'd wait until at least June before you upgrade, or consider joining tmobile etc, as it is rumoured they will be releasing a new line of handsets - perhaps something you like will be in the new lineup? :D

Cheers for the reply. Looks like I will be waiting a bit longer as there's nothing else I fancy at the moment. Sticking with the SPV on an O2 OVP till then :P

That makes me want to weep.

If it helps anyone, I have a sim free N80 with my T-Mobile sim in. I am happy as a sandboy, with my new flext tariff and WnW after leaving Orange. The only issues I have seen have been a couple of quirks when browsing, the odd occasion I get "web content not supported" on a few web sites that I know will load. Nothing to upset anyone though. :)

Yeah that'll be the S60 browser.. its not 100% compatible with everything just yet, I used to get that error on my 6630 quite a lot, still, 3G speed makes up for the lack of compatibility :D

Might have to consider SIM free, since the phone lineup on T-Mob is pretty risible. Do you still have to sign up for 18 months if you have your own handset?
