Naa - I have a C500 so I doubt it'll work - don't worry but thanks for the offer! :tu:

I've surprised Orange have said there will be no upgrade to the new C550 - :monkey:

Re: another mobile phone recommendation thread
 

Yes please.

bumpty bumpty bump....

russell >> are three really taht terrible? i've decided to plump on the nokia 6680 after much wrangling, the three tariff "video talk & text 700" seems to match what i need almost perfectly... is £17.50 a month for 6 months too...

i can't see any other network's tariffs coming even close to that, so what is the big issues with 3? :shrug::erm:

Re: another mobile phone recommendation thread
 

You dare call me 'Russell' again and you'll find your arse so banned :D

Three are like ntl - everything will be fine until something goes wrong. I chose a £5 video content add-on to my tariff and set about downloading all the Big Brother video clips. I sent them an email to enquire if the BB clips were included and the reply said they are - I still have their reply.

Only..when my bill came, they said the BB clips are NOT included in the add-on offer. I hit the roof and called them, telling them the person who sent the email lied to me and sent them a copy. All respect to them, they DID refund what I'd spent on the BB stuff. But still, I can no longer trust anything they tell me.

As for the 6680, it is an ossum phone. The only thing missing IMO is a radio, and also if you leave too many applications open, the phone complains about being low on memory - you can shut them down individually by holding down the menu key.

Have fun with your phone - I love mine :D

whatever you say russell :p:

the last nokia phone i had was a 7650, an awesomely bricktacular phone, i'm scared as i have been on windows smartphones for the best part of 2 years now... :erm:

i've been with orange since i started getting phones too, no gripes with them but their contract prices are shall we say... "undesirable" compared to what 3 can throw at me...

*goes to think abuot ordering again*

have fun RUSSELL ;)

Re: another mobile phone recommendation thread
 

what's the c500 \ 550 like.. am thinking of getting one so i can pick up my work e-mail when i'm out of the office.. not sure if i'll use any of the other features like cam etc but will txt and also strangely make calls with it, something the phone makers seem to forget at times

got an LG at the moment which is rubbish as you can't even add words to the txt dictionary..

TBH the best phone i had was the first ohoe i got an 8210.. you could txt and make calls with it

Re: another mobile phone recommendation thread
 

the orange C500 was a great phone, probably the best one i have had up to press to be honest. It has a massive, clear screen, it has internet explorer/msn which makes life very very easy when you need to check things on the move, it has MS activesync, which works flawlessly... calling is very very easy too, put the number in and press the green button, and away you go ;)
