I recently switched my other-half to Orange and in the process of getting a new phone came across this great offer - 3000 FREE text messages a month on PAYG. I have been thinking about this over the last week or so, since first seeing the offer, and I am quite tempted to switch my contract phone over to PAYG when the contract ends shortly. It would seem the sensible thing to do, as I text much more than I phone people.. The ... Read More

Now that I have my Internet Camera up and running properly with it publishing stills to my website, I am now able to keep a remote eye on my little hound without having to use the full functionality of the streaming web application. While I was out last night, I hit on the (obvious) idea of using my Orange C500 to view the camera stills. With a few quick taps, I was connected via GPRS to this very site, and to the ... Read More

I quite often access my Orange Email from a web browser when I am not at home. This is very handy as Orange send me Text Messages to my mobile to say that I have new email in my account. This is all well and good for reading new emails, but is more of an issue for sending as I dont have my contacts defined online, as these are all stored in Outlook. This of course means that I either have ... Read More

What a nightmare it has been trying to set-up my C500 to Activesync over Bluetooth. I have had my phone a week, and have only just now got the darn thing working! I was able to pair the device quite easily - but do you think I could get it to sync? No, I tried all sorts, adding & deleting ports, re-pairing etc without much success. Following instructions found on the MoDaCo Smartphone Forums it would seem that I was not alone in ... Read More

I have had my Orange SPV C500 for 3 days now and can honestly say that I am very pleased with my rather rash decision to have one! It is just so much faster and responsive than my previous SPV e100. This is how Smartphones should be! The image quality of the camera pictures is great - OK they are not in the league of a proper digital camera - but then they are not meant to be! As you will ...

I popped into town lunchtime today and thought that I'd just nip into my local Orange Shop to take a look at this much talked about Orange SPV C500. There was the dummy handset on its display shelf just begging to be looked at. A couple of moments later a very helpful Orange Advisor came along, I asked if I could try one, and with that he took one out of his pocket. My first impressions - I was pleasantly surprised, ...
