Guest drblow Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 I just spotted this on a website this morning ... 02 WM6 Upgrade. It seems to be free to registered 02 users. So it really must beg the question ... does Orange actually think that it can keep customers when it appears to be the worst service provider in the marketplace? Apparently there are efforts underway in Orange internally to increase customer service levels, but what's the point when they fall so far behind in terms of providing ongoing support & upgrading to their existing products? Orange ROM updates have been few & far between over the last years, and we haven't heard so much as a peep out of them about upgrading to WM6. Having recently taken advantage of some of the cooked WM6 roms on the web, I can tel anyone that the HERMES runs better than ever under WM6, so there can be no reason for Orange not to release this upgrade, other than to try to get people to buy a new phone. Seems a bit silly when the competition is doing so much better.
Guest drblow Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) DOPOD WM6 upgrade And now the DOPOD upgrade!! Hang your heads in shame Orange. Why on earth should anyone continue to pay good money to Orange when their service drags so far behind the rest? With the introduction of the iPhone bringing the smartphone concept ever closer to the mass market, competition hotting up, HTC marketing their own models, all networks offering a smartphone ... is this the end of Orange??

Guest OzzMosiz Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Well I had looked to see if there would be any upgrade for the M700 - nope. So I flashed PDAVIET WM6 ROM onto my phone and it works fantastic!
Guest jimbouk Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Yet another thread where Orange are the worst thing on the planet... Makes me wonder how come they have so many tens of millions of customers worldwide...and why they won best mobile operator for the last two years running at the world communication awards...
Guest Neil5459 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Both those upgrades are currently Asia only; it remains to be seen whether any of the UK providers see fit to offer WM6 updates. O2 are rumoured to be considering one for the Orbit, but that's about it :) With the model of UK business being primarily heavily discounted handsets subsidised by Talk/Data plans, there is little incetive to offer free updates- they'd ratehr their customers upgraded devices! HTC/Dopod are different, in that you pay full price for a SIM free handset.
