Anyone know the release date? Want to get my mitts on one before they all sell out due to Orange not getting enough in stock (as per normal orange!) |

Orange will brand the W810 in there usual manner and spoil it.
That's one reason for Orange delays...

I thought that SE locked all the walkman software? or was that just the W800, as the W550 and W900, W810 etc all seem to be branded?

Orange wreck all of the phones they offer with branded software, they have signed a deal with SE to allow this on the walkman handsets.
I'm off to O2 rather than staying with Orange. |

Why bother when I can get an unlocked, unbranded phone from O2 rather than paying to debrand (plus voiding the warranty)? |

I must admit, miss uk is making a good arqument. I've got two payg and two contract phones with Orange all on one account but i've just ordered my new W810i via o2. If they are as good as they sound then i might move all my phones over to o2. Their pay monthly phones all come unlocked and with the minimum of branding (start up, shut down etc.) and i think this is the way forward. |

Whilst I agree that Orange branding their phones with the same icons and interface is a bad idea, the O2 network has some major differences from Orange. My biggest gripe with O2 and Vodafone is that you get a text message to tell you that you have an voicemail rather than a little voicemail symbol - a text message that you have to read and delete. On Vodafone (not sure about O2) you can also select the option for the network to call you and tell you that you have a voicemail. If you couldn't answer the phone the first time round... Also, whilst you don't get 1471 on Orange, they do send you a text message for all people who have called and not left a message (which can be switched off).
I've been with Orange for 9 years and I have tried other networks over the years. Whilst I don't like what they are doing to their phones, they are a good network. However, I don't think they are very competetive so I am moving to T-Mobile as they have their Flext tariffs which will save me over £30 every month.
BTW, Orange are planning to start charging it's customers for delivery reports - 1p a time. Other networks are likely to follow with talk of charging the full cost of a text for each report.
