Orange have had this phone announced for some time, (it's the C500 SPV smartphone, in case you didn't guess) but I rang them yesterday to chase up on when it would actually be released.  "We don't know yet" said their helpline - so why announce it so early?  I'm keen to change my phone, and may give this beastie a try since my ipaqs, great as they are, simply do not stand up to the rigours of life in my pocket, and the pile of dead ones with craked screens and broken cases is growing ever higher.  This may well do the business for both mobile web access, wap and email, with reasonable mp3 playing built in (it should last longer than the 4 hours for an iPod, for example).  But if they don't get it out soon, we'll all get bored and buy something else.

Update
Motorola have just announced their v3 Razor - and this looks seriously, wayout, groovily-cool - makes the Orange phone seem so outdated, really..... I want I want I want.....
