Hi guys,
After spending most of the afternoon on the phone to CPW, Orange, SE and various service centres, I have ascertained the following -
1 - Orange P800's were shipped with software to configure them to the Orange network. Nothing special, just some extra settings.
2 - Orange will NOT be issuing a firmare upgrade specific to Orange.
3 - Orange have not yet approved the standard SE firmware upgrade, and no-one knows when / if they will.
4 - It depends which service centre you use for the upgrade. Some will do it no problem, some say that they can't do it because Orange have not released the software. They are not going to .....
5 - Some people have had the normal upgrade installed and it's OK. All you have to do is put back in all the Orange network specific settings (internet / GPRS etc).
6 - I called a company called "Fone Logistics" in Cramlington. They will upgrade Orange P800's free (in the warranty period) and return the phone to you. All you do is pay the postage to get it there.
Address -
Fone Logistics
34 Moorland Way
