I like the look of this phone and the android OS but all Orange's site says is 'Coming Soon'... Anyone have any more info?

    Once its on the site it's not far away. I'd think by the end of the month at the latest...

    T-Mobile will have the same phone as well, called the G1 Touch - it would probably serve you well to consider the offers from both networks once it becomes available.

    hi all,

    I have just been speaking to a nice cs lady from orange and they are saying at the moment it is 15th July, but this may change.

    Hope this helps

    It is available via the orange shop to new customers now, but not for upgrades yet.

    I suggest exercising a bit of patience and see what Orange have done to the Hero first. Their history of 'customizing' mobiles does not inspire my confidence.

    Plus, I think they're going to use this model to really push people on to 2-year contracts... I wish more people were fighting this.
  • Officially released on Wednesday 22nd July (tomorrow) on Orange. It is no longer showing as 'coming soon' on their website and is available for purchase.

    Orange are showing a choice of 18 & 24 mth contracts at the moment.

    Do Orange do any plans with internet included? i can see a big star on their 'plans' page saying '500MB mobile internet included on selected plans' but can't figure out which ones?
