Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 Contrary to rumours, the SPV E-100 (a.k.a. Tanager) has not been delayed by Orange. The E-100 will be launched by Orange on the 7th July, and will hit stores in their deliveries next week, probably Wednesday / Friday. In preperation for the launch, the July 'Orange Magazine' includes the E-100, but makes no mention of the original SPV. P
Guest Gorskar Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 Very good :) ... shame I can't afford one ;)
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 [15:16:21] got told all about the spve100, and how it will be the same price as the spv today [15:16:34] did you know it's got a much bigger screen? ;) [15:16:46] so i give my name for one (£29.00) :)
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 Me either, but if he has it in writing....
Guest xanadu Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 I still think end of July at the earliest :)
Guest Will Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 on a scrap of paper is my name and number..I will report back if they call me! :) Quite amazing these orange people. Will
Guest DamianJauregui Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 Not sure how correct this is, or if anyone has already said anything, but it looks like Orange have started selling the new SPV E100 in Switzerland already... Without contract CHF 999.- With Orange Advanced, 24 months subscription CHF 399.- With Orange Advanced, 12 months subscription CHF 479.- With Orange Personal, 24 months subscription CHF 449.- With Orange Personal, 12 months subscription CHF 529.- These are the same prices as the original SPV when it came out. http://www.orange.ch/vrtmobilephones/spv The saddest part is that they now always reference my SPV baby as "The first generation SPV". She feels so old now... :)
Guest DamianJauregui Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 It is official. Orange [swiss] are no longer stocking the original SPV. All old stock is being cleared out from any shops that still have them and the new SPV E100 is the only handset to be marketed from now on. :cry: I wonder if that means that I will get an E100 as a replacement if my old SPV were to break, say, in one month or so? :twisted:
Guest Dylan Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 Hmm. I think it's funny how Orange have bigged up this whole 'training trainers to train' or whatever but it seems like their still unable to train their own sales staff!
Guest FragMeister Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 SPV E100 on Orange.co.uk saying "Coming Soon". Didnt realise, but according to the dimensions it is larger than the SPV (120x50x23) for the E100 compared with 116x48x22 for the "original" SPV. The features list is totally rewritten but is essentially the same
Guest monty Posted July 3, 2003 Report Posted July 3, 2003 seen an article in some trade paper at the local orange shop looked same as my spv bar some minor cosmetics
Guest jeremyp Posted July 4, 2003 Report Posted July 4, 2003 Just heard from an Orange contact that they have a software problem and they do no know when it will be fixed Jeremy
Guest midnight Posted July 4, 2003 Report Posted July 4, 2003 i cant see there being any truth in that, the software is the same as the SPV (well, new update, but a seriously doubt that would cause problems, the core os is the same)
Guest jeremyp Posted July 4, 2003 Report Posted July 4, 2003 OK, just saying it like it is. Was expecting an SPV E-100 to be delivered next week, now getting an SPV and then an E-100 when its ready.

Guest Pagemakers Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Where is it then? Orange upgrades tell me "sometime around the end of the month"!
Guest xanadu Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Of course it has been delayed ! It's not here is it ?? LOL :) ;)
