As an Orange customer with an upgrade on the horizon, this is great news, but they REALLY need to sort out their data tariffs. What is the point of a super ninja smartphone with only 250MB of monthly data allowance? I know it's plenty for most regular surfing etc., but you won't get much video streaming etc. for that. The person who is considering this phone is likely to be a relatively heavy user of mobile data, and the knowledge that there is a cap is going to make a serious difference to whether that person plumps for this (on Orange), an iPhone (on O2) or one of the new Vodafone exclusive BlackBerrys. With O2 offering unlimited mobile data and WiFi on tariffs from £30pm with the iPhone at £99, or a free iPhone + crazy amounts of minutes for £45, the others really need to step up.

I had the same dilemma with Vodafone offering a pathetic amount of data for a high price so i switched to T-Mobile and haven't looked back. I would suggest voting with your wallet is the best solution.

I'm getting sick and tired of this only-launching-with-one-operator bulls**t - all it results in is a distinct lack of choice for consumers, and as highlighted in this case, rubbish package options. 40 per month for 18 months AND 80 quid as the lowest option is rediculous - especially as 40 only gets you 250mb a month. Pathetic. I'm not sure if this 800 quid total cost of ownership compares favourably or not to circa 500 SIM free...

Besides, O2 won't ever get this phone as it'd eat into iPhone sales (which is a shame as the data + Cloud/Openzone wifi is a good offer) and T-Mobile (Web and Walk) won't get it cos it'd eat into G1 sales...

Not sure what you guys are talking about; I am on a 500 Mb/month data plan with Orange... guess somebody didn't do his homework!

How many more times, Gordon? It's "formally" not "formerly"!

Nice phone, though.

@ Gordon - not about this press release; you compare Orange internet offering based on this press release with the competition's offer for different handsets. It's the good old "comparing apples with bananas"...

@Singularity - we're NOT comparing Internet based offerings, but WHAT THE PHONE COMES WITH and that is poor when set against rival telcos.

Funnily enough, if we were comparing mobile broadband offerings - Orange would still SUCK. 3-5GB per month is now the standard Orange must learn it has to live up to.

@TonyYoung - formally, formerly... potato, potatoe (not really, but I have no defence!)

Seems a bit silly releasing a press release with contact details for their sales department and pricing. Their sales team don't even have the pricing info that's on the press release. Apparently left and right hand not communicating so well?
