Guest theodotcom Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 This is the latest news ive heard from orange: Orange are not going to have the the smartphone series 2 (spv x) on their network, instead around xmas time which will be about a year since spv's release they are going to release smartphone series 3, main difference: BUILT IN CAMERA! Has anyone else heard anything about this?
Guest Vector Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Yep, heard that, didn't know about them not releasing the tanager tho... :roll:
Guest b1uepower Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Orange not releasing the tanager that sucks.. :evil: :cry:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 I heard that the Tanager release was 'under consideration' due to the original SPV stock levels... P
Guest casper508 Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Hmmm built-in camera ?? I guess I wont be upgrading before Xmas then. Cas
Guest Vector Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Yeh, the built in camera does sound cool, and even better, my contract ends around xmas time, i think i know what my xmas present might be.... :)
Guest amo Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Tanager must be released on orange, why else would they be so desperate to shift stock levels of spv's by putting them on payg for 200 nicker?!

Has anyone else heard anything about this? This is true. The new SPV with integrated camera will be unveiled this Autumn. This will be the Asus AGP-600 perhaps.
Guest Gorskar Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 I really hope it is the asus - that is a brilliant phone: so feature packed its rediculous.
Guest Vector Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 Yeh, the Asus does look pretty sweet but ( you know what's coming next :( ), it's a flip phone :evil: :)
Guest chocobogo Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 roll on the flip phone. My contract runs out in October... will be looking for a new smartphone then!!
Guest drblow Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 Is there any news about the next software update for the current SPV??
Guest amo Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 I dont think it will be the Asus phone, Personally i think orange will chose a smartphone from a more experienced mobile company. After the problems theyve had wit hthe spv the last thing they will want is the same happening again!
Guest midnight Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 the chances are.. (if this is indeed true, but i agree with amo, the spv's are being shifted pretty quickly currently, free on contract and now available on payg, and i know shed loads of places are now selling out of the things) anyway, chances are, its will be a variation of the tanager, if it was the asus, it would not be called SPV simple as that. and it does say main difference is the built in camera, if it was the asus, the main difference(s) would be smartphone2003, 200mhz processor, flip phone design, built in camera etc.
Guest Chic0 Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 I cant wait for the next Microsoft Smartphone to come out! Is it true though that Orange have changed their upgrading policy? I mean it used to be that after 12months on contract you could upgrade your phone for free and just pay for the price of the handset. But my mate reckons that Orange have changed this to 18 months. Is this true?
Guest midnight Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 dont think so, mate of mine just upgraded his Not-kia to an spv for free and he's only had it 12 months
Guest amo Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 Upgrades vary between 7 and 18 months now on orange depending on what kind of user you are, only very low users are restricted to after 18 months. High users, i.e. £60 bills get to upgrade after 7
Guest Gorskar Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 I did see a breakdown of the upgrade charges at one point - if someone could find them it would be interesting...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 Upgrades vary between 7 and 18 months now on orange depending on what kind of user you are, only very low users are restricted to after 18 months. High users, i.e. £60 bills get to upgrade after 7 Interesting as my other Orange phone (now my wife's) is extremely low usage wise, normally line rental only. I had no problem upgrading after the normal 12 months of the contract was up.
Guest ajb3000 Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 They only changed their upgrade policy a couple of months ago, it used to be anyone could upgrade after 12 months with no fee, no low users have to wait 18 months.
Guest dinoalbert Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 Not only with a built-in camera.... the ASUS AGP 600 has a built-in BLUETOOTH ! article : http://msmobiles.com/news.php/448.html
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 God thats the ugliest phone ive ever seen - wont be buying that !!!
Guest Chic0 Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 How exactly are the low user and high use user defined? I am on ED50 so line rental is always around £15 per month but my bills are average around £35 when you include insurance, GPRS, SMS and other calls. So does whether you are a low or high user depend on how much line rental you pay or how much your bills are? Only asking this as my mate reckons it depends on how much line rental you pay.
Guest skimask Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 depends on your average bill, not line rental
