@ noahweigh
I'm thinking of doing exactly that. Any idea how much I'd be able to sell the Orange branded one for? |

im on 30 quid a month now, and have been told i will payu nothing for my p990i...but i have been overdue an upgrade for over a year....
im going to buy a w900i from ebay until it comes, but orange never supported it, which was a shame.
is it just me or has orange now got the worst mobile selection ever?
i know phones in general have got quite samey, theres not too much innovation going around |

I guess the problem always lies with oranges customisations. They seem to spend ages in putting crap on a phone! I remeber when i got my first t68i but it was so easy to dump half of thier rubbish thus clearing up space on the phone. I hope that on the P990 they dont put too much rubbish so that the phone has even less space than its unbranded counterparts !
Reading on all these people who already have thier P990 i am getting way to jealous as like other people i too have been waiting over a year for my upgrade!!!!!!! No other phone in thier range as caught my eye yet !!1 I did flirt with thier spv 3100 but as im so used to the p series and it being a phone first then a pda i couldnt cope with a phoen thats a pda first !!! Plus the unit i had was broken interms of a led light that never cam on for the camera and it used to blank out the screen every time i tried to activate it grrrr !!! so much for orange branding eh !!!

Anyone thinking of joining orange should think again in my opinion. I used to praise orange for their coverage and service but since they started offering the broadband offer the customer services may as well not exist. Over the past 3 weeks I have spent over 8 hours, yes - 8 HOURS! on hold waiting for help with my faulty phone. OK, they've finally sorted it and credited £20 to my account for the trouble but i'm getting out of my contract asap.
As for the crappy branding, I've had a p900, p910 and htc tytn poisoned with their software. They never release firmware updates either. Admittedly I don't know what other sp's are like but i'm now willing to try. |

They have the dummy P990s on display in my local Orange shop. I didn't check as to whether this meant they have the real thing as I've PAC'd my contract off to the £10/300min/300txt/month on Virgin until the N95 comes out.
Orange must the worst of all the networks now (and I've had a contract with them for 10 years, from when they used to be the best)

Just spoken to some one at orange as i had noticed on the orange website that the P990i's status had changed to out of stock !!!
Was told that new customers should be able to get this phone in a few days and it shud be avaliable on upgrade in a week or so time. Was a lil pissed off that i couldnt get one rite now !!!!!
