Ok, so I've had my contract for 6 months now, and it's on a £15pm contract, so that would mean to upgrade, it would cost £179.99 to get hold of a C500, yeah?

The upgrade fee is variable, to be sure phone OCS on 150, but yes, the phone will cost £79.99 on top.

Correct, Orange shops have been told it is 'In Testing' (lol) and due for delivery this week.

These dates are notorious for slippage of course...

coolsmartphone have links to fonetastic - where on the £25/month tarrif, as well as the phone being free, you get £75 Cash Back (Ker-ching!)

Not sure I would want to buy from them, but it might be a good bargaining tool.

Alternative is to buy from an orange shop who have some good incentives too:
My local one is offering (as credits to your bill):
£50 tradein for any old handset -as long as it works - my wifes dodgy old Moto springs to mind

£75 bring a friend to Orange - shared between you

I've been quoted £75.00 + VAT to upgrade mid-contract, then the phone's free.

I'm well happy with that, I was prepared to take out a new contract :lol:

Can't wait

Im sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have been wondering about this for some time now :oops:

How do I go about to buy a C500, without getting the Orange contract? Or maybe it's not possible? I can live with it being locked to Orange, it's possible to unlock it here in Norway....I think? :roll:
I know it's gonna be released as qtek 8010 where I live, but I'd rather buy the Orange version, and we dont have orange in my country

I have heard about people in the states who use unlocked E200, so there must be some hope..lol

What do I do?

I still just want to see what the video capture is like. (and the picture capture in low light).

If it's fast, and these two are good, I may pick it over the mpx220, particularly as the camera on it has got a right bashing, and I can't see the video capture being much cop either.

I'll have to pay the £100 upgrade fee, but sounds worthwhile imo

The camera is not hugely different to that of the e200 quality wise, maybe slightly better.

The responsiveness of the app is much improved tho, and the video can be attached to MMS now!
