As long as it is released before I go on holiday I don't care (you hear that Orange, you have until early March, after that I'll be diss'ing you to everyone I meet).

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Yep, 24th February is the day!

There's a lot of people on your site for you to be teasing us in this way Paul, remember what gears said, we'll "duff" you up and nick your Tanager :lol: :)

I rang Orange Customer Services today about an unrelated SMS problem (fixed with SIM update) and the customer services rep told me there was a software update due very soon for the UK SPV. He said it would be almost exactly the same as the Danish one.

I didn't even ask him about the update he just told me when i said i had a SPV, he also said he had one himself but thought it was a bit slow.

So it looks like you lot might be right. :)

Exactly - now you just need one of those SPVs!! :)

But seriously - what a tw@!!

I prefer this one:

Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

I think you will find that that was a correct statement at the time.

I remember the first PC we had at home (1984, pre IBM PC release, a present from IBM!)

At the time it had the biggest WOW factor you could imagine, had that newfangled DOS on it, but in the end it was sh!t.

And it’s list price was about £5,000!

5K... How bloody much.

I had a ZX81, ZX Spectrum and BBC B before 1984 ....

gone a little OT here but heres a good one:

"Everything that can be invented has been invented."

- Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899

:roll:

[Guest Kallisti]

There's a certain amount of wisdom in the last one. The US Patent office doesn't exactly patent inventions as much as stupid ideas.

[Guest kevlar]

Will the update lock my phone again? Will it alter any settings/menu/homescreen configurations?

There's a certain amount of wisdom in the last one.  The US Patent office doesn't exactly patent inventions as much as stupid ideas.

Not ALWAYS stupid ideas... Sam Colt attempted to patent the revolver in London before he patented it the USA. In London they pointed out that revolvers were already in existence and had been around for years (witness Puckle's revolving cannon, which fired round bullets for Christian targets, and square ones for Turks!) So they granted an application for a specific type of single-action composite-frame revolver, leaving other types NOT covered (a gap ably filled by Adams excellent double-action revolvers, for example) Back in the US, the Patent Office happily granted him an exclusive right to make ANY kind of revolving firearm - a monopoly broken only when S&W purchased the Rollin White patent (for revolvers where the cylinder is bored ALL the way through).

Not exactly SPV-relevant, but a chance to show that I'm more than an ex-Orange techie! :wink:
