I have just been in touch with orange mobile phones uk, about upgrading my 9210e to the new 9210i.
I was told point blank that orange have no plans to introduce the 9210i to there uk network, so after seven years with them, it looks like i will be switching networks.
Does anyone else know of any of the other networks in the uk are refusing to stock this product?
:evil:
NO NOKIA 9210i
Orange are probably the only ones as they only like to take "oranged" products (ie. locked to their spec - which is what the 9210e is)
Certainly agree with Orange wanting to 'spec' the phone. They also (as I seem to recall) have a much more stringent GSM Testing procedure to approve the phone onto their network, hence the usual need for a slight change in the Phone number (9210e for example, and the slight differences in the 62xx series numbering). Yes it does give a more reliable network, but the main drawback (having to wait on new phones) is a bug bear. Pretty suprised they're offering the 7650 straight off the supply truck.
