Ok I asked this:
"I have heard that the Panasonic GD87 is to be released on Orange soon, could you
please confirm this with dates and price if at all possible, if so then I am
really pleased with Orange addressing the problem of allways being last in the
UK to release new Handsets. Also are there any other new and interesting phones
being released on orange soon?"
They replied suprisingly with this:
"
Dear Anthony
Thank you for your mail.
Please accept our apologies for the delay in replying which is due to the
high volume of mails received in recently.
I can confirm that the Panasonic GD87e is currently under review.
Launch is expected during October 2002, though this is subject to change
For more information please visit the Orange Shop online for regularly updated

siuj, you are mistaken, the Sharp GX10 is vodafone exclusive until march 2003, but thats it, every network will have the GD87, and can you blame em, its just so cool, next few weeks on orange, staff training for the handset is taking place as we speak.
I for one will be buying this phone on Orange. |

Yeah right! Orange tech staff know less than we do about the handsets they sell!
I never bother calling them anymore, the place to find the answers is in forums like these. |

I did read it!
Orange Tech Support is a red rag to me... I wasn't disputing the release date (don't know anything about that), but the staff training thing! |

Orange TS dept, really are a complete waste of space. I worked at orange for 3 and a half years and TS got worst instead of better. And the training on the handsets, my god, what a waste of time and effort. orange make thier staff read some useless little training pack on the systems, then answer a little crapy quiz. They do not even get to play with the phone.
There are very few people at orange who know a lot about mobile phones.
I did not have a prob though cos I, like orangeman, know my shit |
