Guest xanadu Posted December 5, 2002 Report Posted December 5, 2002 Does anyone in Orange know when they are expecting new stocks of SPV phone ? Will it be before Xmas ? Will there be enough to meet demand ? Why is taking so long to get new stock ? Just want straightforward answers to simple questions.
Guest studiosonic Posted December 5, 2002 Report Posted December 5, 2002 I'm not from Orange, but I had a chat with a guy from a mail order company. He said that Orange had told him to expect some SPV's within 7-10 days, but the Orange person said that they wouldn't be at all suprised if they got them earlier than that. Seems there's a national shortage at the moment, but more definitely on the wayb4 Xmas!!! Mine included i hope!!! :D
Guest Tony Mc Posted December 5, 2002 Report Posted December 5, 2002 phoned orange tonight asking the wearabouts of my SPV...and was told they were all being delivered to Orange on Monday..so i can expect mine on wednesday! Tony :D
Guest rcraswell Posted December 5, 2002 Report Posted December 5, 2002 I can't tell you when you'll get phones, but I do know that most of the delay is because of a production shortage of the LCD screens.
Guest xanadu Posted December 5, 2002 Report Posted December 5, 2002 Thank's All information much appreciated.
Guest Honest John Posted December 6, 2002 Report Posted December 6, 2002 Don't panic. When Orange recycle all the returned phones that they seem to be getting by reading this forum and other places, there will be more than enough to go round :!:
Guest dj simonz Posted December 6, 2002 Report Posted December 6, 2002 yes! we wouldnt even know if they put used components back inside the new spv's grrrrrrrrrrr
Guest xanadu Posted December 6, 2002 Report Posted December 6, 2002 Good news !! Orange received more new SPV stock today. Might take a few days to get to the shops.
Guest spacemonkey Posted December 6, 2002 Report Posted December 6, 2002 Good news !! Orange received more new SPV stock today. Might take a few days to get to the shops. Yay... :D :( :( I went in to my shop today to see where it was at and the guy there fobbed me off with a next wednesday... but hopefully that will actually be right...
Guest cdwilkinson Posted December 6, 2002 Report Posted December 6, 2002 Yay... :D :( :( I went in to my shop today to see where it was at and the guy there fobbed me off with a next wednesday... but hopefully that will actually be right... The Orange shop in Whiterose Centre Leeds Rang me Today to inform me they had one in stock for me, They were surprised to hear i had already picked it up two weeks ago from them :P .
Guest graham Posted December 8, 2002 Report Posted December 8, 2002 Picked up mine from the Orange shop in Bluewater today after two weeks of searching around! Must be slowly starting to filter through...
Guest spacemonkey Posted December 9, 2002 Report Posted December 9, 2002 I finally got my SPV today (yay) Just called the Orange branch near my work (Wood Green, London) and they had 2 in stock (presumably they had received more but given them to pre orders). Still haven't heard from the Orange shop near my home which I am still wait listed at... oh well... But yes, obviously supplies are starting to filter through....
Guest Tony Mc Posted December 9, 2002 Report Posted December 9, 2002 ARGH... Orange are doing my head in!! i was told they would have them on monday.... i phoned today... nope sorry sir...we dont have them as yet.... probably not going to have them for at least 10-15 days.... go into Orange shop to see if they have any... no sir... 40'000 were stolen from heathrow... not going to have them for 15 days at least.. i wish there was an information system at Orange... as my 6210 is dying fast... and i have even considered getting the Nokia 7210. i WANT MY SPV! tony
Guest Shuflie Posted December 9, 2002 Report Posted December 9, 2002 Can someone who has just received their new phone check the boot loader (hold the record key while switching on the phone) to see what their rom version is?
Guest studiosonic Posted December 9, 2002 Report Posted December 9, 2002 10-15 days.....i'm getting worried now! :cry: I ordered mine from mobilesuk.net last Thursday and was told 7-10 days. The guy I spoke to said that that's what Orange had told him - but that it could well be earlier than that. I hope it's true!! My Vodafone contract runs out this Thursday so I'm quite anxious to actually have a connection by then!!!! I spoke to a woman at mobilesuk.net this morning and she said that they were lucky to get their last lot. I hope she's not implying anything! I want my SPV!!!!!!!!! :cry:
Guest stillwaiting Posted December 9, 2002 Report Posted December 9, 2002 Hi, i ordered mine from mobile republic over 2 weeks ago, all they did was give me the run around. This saturday just gone i decided to pop into the city centre and try a few shops. Firstly i tried CPW, they had some in stock at their other branch but would only knock £10 off the £99 asking price, i thought i'm not paying that much for a device that will probably self destruct in a couple of days. Next stop the orange shop, "we've got some in stock sir, £99. please. Sod you, i'm not paying that much for something i could get for free. On i go on my merry way tra lala lala!!!!. Finally i spot a star twinkling in the sky, actually its an illuminated 'THE LINK' sign outside their store. Dare i go in, surely all there could be is dissapointment behind this glossy veneer, Oh well i've got nothing to lose, here i go, caustiously i approach the sales assistant." Hi have you any SPV's in stock at the moment."Why yes we do sir, we got a couple in this morning. "How much are they" i say. " Well sir were doing them for £99. "AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH" "are you okay sir" "AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH" "Excuse me sir, is there something wrong." "Look, there are plenty of shops doing it for a lot cheaper" "How much cheaper" "20 quid" "No problem sir, we'll do it for the same price. Here i sit now typying away as my Spv rests peacefully in its cradle on my desk. The moral of the story is that there is sometimes a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, so don't give up. Unless you've ordered from the mobile republic then all hope is lost!
Guest Ste Posted December 9, 2002 Report Posted December 9, 2002 Somebody who works for Orange as an operator at the helpdesk is getting me my SPV. I asked them on Thursday to get it but here I am still waiting for it. The person can't give an exact date on the stock delivery at the moment so the stock must be so minimal that Orange themselves don't even know when they are getting them in. As long as I get it within the next week I will be happy. I will try to find out more info if I can as to when they will be getting them in stock.
Guest Paul H Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 I received an email from Scancom (www.scancom.co.uk) saying that my phone has been shipped and will be delivered tomorrow so that must mean they have received stock (at least enough to cover back orders anyway). Paul
Guest florin_m Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 found for free on : http://tiscali.themobilerepublic.com/viewp...pv&did=326&de=1 not bad :D

Guest Smith Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 well i ordered mine from the OneStopPhoneShop on dec 3rd, they are giving me the run around, not nice :D no idea wheni will get mine :(
Guest Ste Posted December 12, 2002 Report Posted December 12, 2002 Surely they can't do that though because there will be back orders on these phones for at least a month in the shops I would say. I see my mate tomorrow - if its gonna be a long wait then I'll just go into the Orange shop near me and get one cos I want one asap.
Guest Rolandrat Posted December 12, 2002 Report Posted December 12, 2002 :cry: Placed a order on 9/12 with Genie Telecom/Advanced Communications, as they are paying the £6 SPV pack for 6 months as well as a car charger etc, but they are out of stock for about 1-2 weeks. Oh well Xmas bored again then!
Guest dma Posted December 13, 2002 Report Posted December 13, 2002 Orange have stock directly. £99. 0500 802080 :D
Guest Ste Posted December 14, 2002 Report Posted December 14, 2002 Orange have got stock in now so I should imagine that all of the shops will be getting the phones back in to cover from the back orders.
