    Are the phones offered of equal value to the phone you originally took the contract out with?

    I could be wrong but the handset doesn't form part of your contract (just in case you wanted to use this as a reason to cancel... not saying you are, but just covering all bases).

    However, you would expect a like-for-like replacement on the phone.

    The Touch HD is an amazing phone in my opinion, but of course it is your opinion that matters. You could go into an orange store and raise your complaints with them to see if you can get a reduction/different phone which may prove more effective than phoning/writing to them...

    Just out of interest, what is it you don't like about the Touch HD?
