Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Orange Retail (Orange Shops in the UK), have been given information with regards to the release of the MPx200 and the E200, and it makes for interesting reading. Initial deliveries of the MPx200 to stores are expected WEDNESDAY 19th November, with E200s hitting stores on FRIDAY 21st November. The initial shipment of MPx200s includes only 2500 units between 255 stores, so reserving one at your local Orange store would seem a good idea, especially when you take into account the price point! There are no details available as to expected E200 stock levels. The MPx200 will be only £29.99 on plans below £25 per month, and FREE on all other plans (this also applies to upgrades) The SPV E200 will be £199.99 on low value plans, £149.99 on medium plans, and £99.99 on plans over £50 per month. As ever, this information is subject to change without notice (as frequently happens within Orange Retail!), but this is the latest situation - we will update you of any changes if we hear them! P Update! SPV E200 is to be available in December on Pay as you Go for £279.99! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon Desser Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 "]Initial deliveries of the MPx200 to stores are expected WEDNESDAY 19th November, with E200s hitting stores on FRIDAY 21st November. Just spoke to my local store who read me out their memo, and they reckon it's the other way round, MPx200's on Friday, and E200's tomorrow :?: They also said that there's supposed to be 2500 E200's as well :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dom Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Does anyone know if the MPx200 will be unlock-able in the same way as the SPV? (For app development)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maverick Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Nice price for pay as you go!! I hope by then there will be a http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/viewtopic.php?t=3976>SIM Unlock for it so I can manage to have it delivered to Israel when family arrives in the end of December :shock: So get a move on it MoDaCo experts!!! 8) O will presumably unlock PAYG E200 for a fee ?? (Normally its around £20 ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Hmmm, good question. What IS Orange's stance on PAYG unlocking for other handsets? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ranzz Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Well can someone find out if they will unlock it? I can't exactly call OCS from Israel :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest orangewinger Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 My local Orange shop (in Ealing) had some E200s in last week, I almost bought one on saturday until the guy realised half way through that they only had one left and it was reserved! I was gutted, I'm really desperate for an E200 now I no longer have my (work's) SPV! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zim Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I agree would love to know is they can unloack it, coz if they cant well, the devlopers E200 seems to be a best choice.. "Z" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wheresalan Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 :?: Is there any news of when the E200 will be available on Orange's Online Shop :?: To me, it seems that you get a better deal ordering online than you do from buying one in an Orange shop. Anybody agree with me? Also it would be useful for people to post any great deals that they find for the E200 & MPx200. A years contract is a long time and we have to get it right now! :roll: But maybe in a different section eh?!? Else I'll get told off by Paul! :wink: Cheers, Al --- Soon to be a E200 Owner! Come on! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest atonks Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I've just spoken to the Orange shop in brum. They're expecting stock on Friday. I think I've been allowed to reserve one. She said she'd put my name "on the list" whatever that means :? Contract expires on Saturday. It could be the first early saturday morning I've seen for a while.. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest liquid-core Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Does the low price of the MPx200 mean that orange wont be releasing a Windows Mobile 2003 SmartPhone rom???? - Either free or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I don't think that has anything to do with it. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amo Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Damn Paul, you beat me to it. Just to add though. The email we have states "The following three handsets may be launched this week, mpx200, e200 and v500" Note the "may".... I say this to ensure your not dissapointed if it doesnt get released this week, however i do beleive it is this week we're getting our delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FrankyG Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Does the low price of the MPx200 mean that orange wont be releasing a Windows Mobile 2003 SmartPhone rom???? - Either free or not I wouldn't hold your breath for that. It was a nice idea, but I for one will be making my buying decision on the assumption that the Moto mpx200 will NOT be upgradable...which makes it a bit of a tricky call :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schioett Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Bit OT i think - please remove if it is :? How much do you guys pay for getting the SIM-lock removed?? Here in denmark it is only allowed to bind people to the contract for six (6) months, so normally it costs an billion to get it unlocked. The SPV E200 for example cost approx €425 with a contract (and SIM-lock) and over €930 without!! :shock: So you have to pay €505 to get it SIM-unlocked within the first 6 months - We really have to get a "program" to remove the SIM-lock 8) /Schioett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amo Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Why not just pay the network the small cost it takes to unlock the handset? Just pay up the years contract and then pay the unlock fee and thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
