Just thought I’d let you know I have today ordered a Orange E650 (aka HTC S710) for my new business phone provided to me by my employers.
I did have a Orange M3100 on order (its been on order for three weeks now) which is a pocket PC phone (PPC) but I have since decided to opt for the E650 and so rang Orange and changed the order.
Alasdair Ford has been lucky enough to get his hands on a pre-release and so far has said;
“I’d have to say I’m very impressed, the overall feel of the device is one of very high quality and the matt black finish is great”
Alasdair is all things mobile and I have only just discovered his blog here, it’s well worth a read.
Guy you’re going to love it – I was dead set against keyboards when I moved from my JAMin to the m3100 but I’m a convert now and the E650 may just wean me off touch screens for good. Not really missing 3G either just wish they could get the data / voice concurrency sorted out. I just like getting mail whilst on the phone on my m3100.
The fact I’ve got this E650 suggests that the general release models aren’t far off although Orange have been guilty of prefferential treatment to brand new customers in the past.
good luck
