What's wrong with a Nokia 3610? Thats another point anyway. As far as i can see, orange went off the rails when they introduced badger, blackbird and killer wale tarrifs.

Can't wait to see orange stick their software on there and ruin a good phone.

I would like to see how orange get on when they combine with t-mobile, if their network get's any better.

I was will orange for years but where I live and work the signal seemed to get worse over time, so I jumped ship to O2.

I imagine that must of upset Orange!

In the past 95% of phones work fine, Orange put their software on screw it all up.

When you was waiting for the latest handset to come out, it was always delayed while they buggered around with it.
