Orange HTC S310 PAYG only?

Matt | February 7, 2007 |

A few days ago we told you about the HTC S310 coming to Orange. We have since been told that the device will be Pay-As-You-Go only. This does make some sense as we know that the HTC S310 (HTC Oxygen) with its 176 x 220 screen and GPRS only connectivity, is the baby within the […]

i-Mate JAQ3 review

Matt | February 6, 2007 |

I finally got my hands on an i-Mate JAQ3 to review. The JAQ3 is a device that I have been looking forward to getting hold of.

We have been speculating about the release date of the Orange SPV M700 for quite some time and the device has been listed in more than one edition of the Orange retail catalogue. As Gears at CoolSmartPhone correctly points out, the SPV M700 is indeed listed in the February edition of the Orange retail catalogue […]

HTC S310 Coming to Orange UK

Matt | February 4, 2007 |

OK something strange is happening at Orange UK. We already know that Orange’s own version of the HTC Oxygen, the Orange SPV C100, has been available from Orange in other countries but it has been widely accepted that the device would never see a UK launch. So here is where things get weird. If you […]
