Orange M3100 - "Great PDA; Terrible Phone"
Rachel, our tech guru who runs the internet team has just taken delivery of an Orange M3100 multi-doo-dah device. Like my old T-Mobile MDA with a few small differences.
Her perspective?
Shit phone. Super for sending email. Great PDA. It needs a home button, back button and a close application button.
Another semi happy quite reasonably-impressed Windows Mobile fan 😉
However, don’t forget that she has to swap to an 18 month contract to get it. Orange, it seems, HATE giving their existing customers any ground whatsoever. They wanted a stupid amount of money for the handset — so she had to threaten to leave before she managed to get it for £4.99.
As always, Rachel got the, ‘oh, that offer is for brand new customers only’ line from them to begin with.
