For all those who got the Orange Samsung F210 Blue deal and have not received it yet.

POSTED BY: gizmo_gadgets 10 months, 2 weeks ago

I got a mail from orange today, saying they cannot complete my order due to having no stock, they offered a refund or a choice of 3 alternatives.

1st was a samsung slider, e320 or something like that, which is pretty cheap everywhere.

2nd was a samsung j700 in purple, which is an ok phone but still not all that good an alternative.

3rd was a Motorola Rokr e8 !!!!!! On the Orange recon site at £81 + £10 top up, it's the motorola phone with the keyboard that changes appearance dependant on what function you use. 2gb internak memory expandable using cards upto 6gb!

They have said they will honour the price given for the orignal order if you want to choose one of the 3 phones, I obviously went for the 3rd Motorola Rokr e8 as it seems like a steal.

Just thought I'd let you all know, as incase anyone else out there, like me, had paid a while ago and not heard anything from orange.

No actually went for the J700 as it was for my Daughters B'day however they did state that they may still deliver the F210 if they had it available.

I had this email earlier this week so sent them an email asking them to refund me the money as they had already charged my card, next day I had another email saying the Samsung F210 phone had been despatched and it arrived today!
