  From my reading looks like this will be the case. Also, no Flash Support either.

  Big screen for the money but average processor.
  
  Will build quality and reliability be any better than the San Francisco?

  Unless all the Orange bloat can be stripped off then is this a good idea?
  
  My SF flies in comparison to the original branded 2.1 OS it came with

  I assume if you have a T-mobile sim it will work fine in this?
  
  Currently using a T-Mobile pulse, I take it this would be a significant step up in processing power and the number of apps you're able to install?

  Not officially due to licencing, but the hardware can handle it so it's only a matter of time...

  Should be availabe online from a week today (I'm told).
  
  Be interesting if you can still get the £30 off for being an existing Orange customer ? (that's with Telesales btw, if it's still running not in store).

  Do you have a source for this information as the official word from Orange is that the phone isn't on release until next week.

  You mean the videos from February of a test unit? I have personally played with one of these devices in the last month and any issues with lag have long gone. Hopefully the addition of Orange customisations won't have slowed things down.

  Thanks, I thought that being able to use the Orange network as a T-Mobile customer might mean sims were also interchangeable.

  Went in to the Orange shop and asked he said it has been loaded into there Matrix system so I asked about stock and they were due 4 Sat morning with 800 being shipped. I rang a few other stores in Manchester to confirm.

  Still don't see why people want this, it's just an overclocked SF with a larger screen, voted cold.

  They're still run as separate networks and phone locked to one won't work with the others sims.
  All you can do is roam on one from the other.
