Orange Releases More Accessories

[Guest tobyfield]

I had a look on the Orange website today and they have more accessories available for the SPV including;

Spare Battery

Car Charger

Serial Cable

Travel Charger

Stereo Handsfree

Serial Sync Station

USB Snyc Station

USB Cable

As you'd expect from orange, the prices are over the top. Take a look at http://shop.orange.co.uk/NASApp/esales/esales

£50 for a spare battery, you have got to be joking.

In france orange release ANYTHING !!!!!!!! :evil:

[Guest Deemon]

so its £40 found the sync station and another £25 for the charger ? what a con !

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

They also state that the cradle charges as well,

I wonder if they forgot the fact that you need the charger plugged in

as well :)

Or have the cradles been modded like some of us have done?

Strange. I bought my (11 year old) son an Ericsson T300 two weeks back - 99p with "every goody going thrown-in" from Scancom.co.uk. The smartcard reader that came with it (for the MP3 Player and the included 32 meg SD card!) was obsolete: Parallel port and no XP drivers. So I bought the USB "Six in One" card reader from www.ebuyer.com for £10.21. No price visible on the French site... I've commended the same gadget to my (75 year old) Mum to use with her digital camera. :roll:

Better prices than Orange, but then thats not difficult, suggest anyone who wants car charger goes to PDA Add-ons on EBAY, as suggested on other messages and on Born Sloppy's web site. It costs about £16 including delivery, and it is also a USB charger / connector too.

As for freedoms MMC / SD prices :shock: :x several places are much cheaper than that.

Cheers, Vince

I must also big up PDAaddons. Bought off ebay for the first time and was more than satisfied with the service.

Got a car charger/USB cable charger which I now use in the car and to sync at work.

Absolutely brilliant, took two days to get to me, works better than my spare cradle and I don't have to cart around my spare charger either!

I bought an xda serial cable from Carphone Warehouse for £12.99 as opposed to £29.99 on the orange website.

[Guest SirGaz]

Has anyone added up the price of these accessories? If you add up the stuff that we got free in the box, the total comes to a whopping £259.93 and that does not include the actual phone :shock: Then there is the price of the manuals and box and packaging (not much I know, but it all adds up).

At least Orange did one good thing and massively subsidise this phone so that we can all enjoy it rather a few rich kids.

[Guest benny]

Its a bit like a car if you think of it...ten grand for the whole thing, or about half a million if you try to make it up from replacement parts!

the SPV's retailing at 200 quid now, 150 on upgrade, so you're looking at about 450 quid for what we got in the box for £0-£129.99 :)
