Guest Paul [MVP] Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I am very pleased to announce that we have a new forum member, 'Mr Orange'. Mr Orange (aka Andy), is head of handset development for the Orange Group, and as such is responsible overall for the development of SPV (amongst other things). Andy has joined the forum in an official capacity, and will be available to answer any questions related to SPV from an Orange perspective, and any other Orange GROUP related questions. Please be aware that Andy is not part of Orange UK, and so cannot answer questions directly related to UK operations. So please welcome Mr Orange, and go easy on him ;) I think this is a huge step for MoDaCo today, and I personally am very pleased to have Mr Orange on board, you should be too! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest morpheus2702 Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 And next up: 4. What is the word on the 1.6 update? 5. What is the truth about the GPRS problem being to do with the handset, rather than the network? 6. How far ahead does the SPV roadmap go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please welcome Mr Orange, and go easy on him :D Hello there Andy! Very nice of you to drop by! :lol: I for one, promise to go easy on you - well, at least for the first couple of hours!! :wink: Seriously tho - it's very good to see the recognition that MoDaCo has gotten from the mobile community at large. I don't think any of us would have gotten quite so much out of our beloved gadgets without this forum. And it's very good to see that Orange are looking & listening! Good luck Mr. Orange - you'll need it! & by the way - I'm sure the first issue that will be brought up is the release date for 1.6. Not that I'm hassling you or anything!! :wink: P.S. Is there going to be a seperate forum for 'Ask Mr Orange loads of dumb questions here'?? :) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon Desser Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Is Andy REALLY the first Orange Employee on MoDaCo? I suspect there are a few more running about. :?There's plenty of Orange employees on MoDaCo, but none in "AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY" More importantly:- Mr Orange (aka Andy), is head of handset development for the Orange Group, and as such is responsible overall for the development of SPV (amongst other things).

Guest Pagemakers Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Please please give us an insight into the appalling GRPS connections problems we are experiencing connecting to the Orange network. Is it the network or the phone? When will it be fixed properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Crispy Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 My personal question "hall of fame": 1) When will the 1.6 update be released (If now exact date i avail, then a guess) 1b) Some people, including me, think its stupid that u can't test drive the new update "Without being somebody important" ... Are you afraid that we wreck our phones? If so, its nothing that a huge disclaimer can't fix :wink: 2) Will there be a SP2003 update for the SPV and e100? free/payware? 3) Detailed SPV2 specs!! including estimated price ... (If you're allowed to of course! (which I doubt very much!)) 3b) Is the SPV2 an "Orange exclusive"? 4) Please explain the much discussed "APP Lock", why was it implemented (Was concerns that we might get virueses really the reason?) 4b) Will SP2003 based devices use the "PROMPT" mode or will they also be 100% locked? (or unlocked?) ... and there a proberly many more that I can't remember right now. Thx in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squall Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 my first question whould be: why is there still such a major problem with the orange voicemail service? and will there be a soultion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Will Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 crispy : 1b) Some people, including me, think its stupid that u can't test drive the new update "Without being somebody important" ... Are you afraid that we wreck our phones? If so, its nothing that a huge disclaimer can't fix Microsoft and other companies SELECT their primary testers, before releasing a beta into a disclaimered 'worldwide' release. I see this as Orange doing the same.. Maybe next time we should not have even told the forum what is happening? Will EDIT : I do not have a damn clue if and when this update will appear :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
