HTC One X and One S come to Orange, T-Mobile on Thursday
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCT-MobileOrangeOne SOne X
If you've already decided whether you're Team One X or Team One S, and live in the UK, then get ready to flex the plastic on Thursday. Both T-Mobile and Orange have announced that's the day you can pick one up in store and online (and even over the phone if that's how you roll.) Both networks are offering the One X for free if you don't mind paying £41 a month, or you can scoop up the One S for a slightly more reasonable £36 -- if you're okay with the smaller screen estate and number-of-core bragging rights.

Nokia Lumia 800 a best seller at Orange Austria
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAOrangeLumia 800
Either Orange Austria is pushing the handset pretty hard, or the Nokia Lumia 800 is performing well on their network, but it appears the carrier has crowned the handset one of its best sellers.
The smartphone was launched in Austria at the end of 2011 and became available early in January.

Orange Israel is on sale, too
Like UnlikeFiled in: Orange
It’s like everyone’s “trading Oranges” these days. Just recently, we’ve seen Three Austria acquiring the local branch of Orange and now Partner Communications is looking to sell its big stake (44.5%) in Orange Israel.
The company has apparently already hired investment bankers to look at options to get as much money as possible for the mobile network. To sweeten the deal, one of the advisors, Deutsche Bank, said it will offer credit lines of up to $1 billion if necessary to the prospective buyer. Partner Communications’ stake is worth around $590 million, though there seem to be an option to bid for the publicly quotes shares as well.

Nokia Lumia 710 to be only 229 Euro commitment free on Orange France
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAOrangeLumia 710
Smartphone France has come across the available price plans for the Nokia Lumia 710 on Orange France, which is just becoming available now, though not online yet.
The price plans are as follows:
1 Euro for Origami from 49 Euros per month
49 Euros for Origami from 39 Euros per month

109 Euros for M6 or Smart packages from 21 euros per month
149 Euros for the other packages or Smart M6 (less than 21 Euros)
With a mobicarte no obligation or fee: 229 Euros
Most interesting to me is the commitment free price of only 229 euro, not far of the $254 contract-free pricerevealed on Rogers Canada earlier today.

Orange UK launches Tahiti, a self-branded Android tablet
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsOrangeTahiti
After debuting its first self-branded tablet in Europe last year, Orange has now announced the Tahiti, a budget tablet launched today in the UK. Although the 7-inch tablet is Orange-branded, it's made by Huawei, with a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, 5-megapixel camera, and Android 3.2. The major draw, however, will probably be its price point — it's £69.99 (about $108) with a two-year contract. Unfortunately, the contract itself is a bit pricey, at £25 for 2GB of data, 1GB of which can only be used on off-peak hours. It also comes bundled free with the two-year data plan when buying the San Francisco II smartphone, allowing 2GB of data to be shared between phone and tablet for £41 a month.

Android is immune to viruses, Windows Phone is not, says Orange customer support
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftOrangeGoogleAndroidWindows Phone 7
Okay, Windows Phone handsets may not be perfect when it comes to malware and exploits, but they are definitely safer than their Android counterparts, don't you think? Well, we now know of at least one person in the world who would disagree with that statement, and the disturbing part is that their job expects them to be much more knowledgeable on the matter.
What you see below is an excerpt from a conversation between an Orange service representative and a subscriber. In a nutshell, the unsuspecting user is being misled into believing that Windows Phone devices are prone to getting viruses, while Android smartphones are more or less immune to such problems.

Everything Everywhere's £1.5 billion investment to bring 4G to Orange and T-Mobile in the UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileOrange
So far there have been some limited LTE trials, but the truth remains: UK 4G isn't happening any time soon. A fact not lost on Everything Everywhere CEO Olaf Swantee, who's raiding the coffers to a tune of £1.5 billion to bring the Orange and T-Mo UK up to speed. Top of the shopping list, naturally, is the network equipment needed, in time for when the spectrum eventually gets auctioned off -- currently expected to be late 2012. The cash injection is part of a three-year investment, so don't expect that minty fresh network any time soon, but UK users can at least take refuge in knowing that Swantee, and his brace of providers, are pushing to bring old Blighty decent data rates sooner rather ...

Nokia Lumia 800 hits UK stores, preorder demand leaves Orange UK glowing
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAOrangeLumia 800
As Nokia's first Windows Phone lights up shop fronts across Britain, Orange has informed us that the Lumia 800 has attracted the most attention it's ever seen for a Nokia device. Based on preorders, the smartphone has trumped both the critically acclaimed N95 and the 5800, while we're sure the gratis Xbox 360 for upgraders hasn't hurt demand -- 50 percent of those looking to pick up the polycarbonate phone are already Orange customers. The carrier has told us that an Xbox-based offer for new customers looking to pick up the Nokia-coated Windows Phone is also in the pipeline -- something for UK network hoppers to get excited about.

Orange UK now offers Acer Liquid Express for free with 20.50 GBP/month plan
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAcerOrangeLiquid e
The Acer Liquid Express is now available from Orange UK. We’ve first seen this low-to-mid end Android smartphone back in September and now everyone can get it for free on a plan that costs at least 20.50 GBP per month. That money either gets you 300 minutes and unlimited texts; or 100 minutes, unlimited texts, and 500 MB of data every month. If you need more minutes and megabytes, you can grab some more expensive plan to get up to 900 minutes and 1 GB of data for whopping 41 GBP per month. Now I’m not sure why would anyone grab such a device with that big plan, since you can easily get a way more powerful smartphone with the same monthly commitment.

Coming soon to Orange UK is the BlackBerry Curve 9360 in white
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryOrangeCurve 9360
The BlackBerry Curve 9360 has already landed on the Orange UK network sporting the traditional black paint job but now the same smartphone will be arriving in white in the near future.
White has become increasingly popular among manufacturers when it comes to a secondary choice of color. There was the white Apple iPhone, the white HTC EVO 3D and even Samsung joined the party by making a white version of their flagship Galaxy S II. RIM has produced a few white BlackBerry handsets before and now you can add the Curve 9360 to that list.
Orange UK currently has the white BlackBerry Curve 9360 listed as coming soon. It will be free on a monthly plan. The Curve 9360 is an entry-level device that...

Orange makes claim to the UK`s lowest unlimited broadband price
Like UnlikeFiled in: Orange
Colourful claims from camp Orange come in, with the company laying claim to the the UK’s lowest unlimited broadband price.
Following a revamp of its prices, UK surfers are able to sign up for a 12-month deal that costs £5 per month, on top of a £12.75 line-rental deal that also offers unlimited evening and weekend calls to landlines.
The £5 deal gets you up to 20Mb speed, and if you fork out £10 a month you'll get unlimited calls to landlines at any time.
Sylvain Thevenot, director of marketing and propositions for Orange Home said: "Although financially times are tough, we believe that everyone should have access to the best value deals in the market, irrespective of where they live.

ZTE Monte Carlo arrives a month early, now available on Orange UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: OrangeZTE
Okay, we'll just come out and say it: in the hierarchy of classy names, Skate doesn't hold a candle to Monte Carlo. As the flagship of ZTE's lineup at Mobile World Congress last February, it feels much more appropriately titled with Orange UK's branding. No matter what you want to call it, however, the handset's now available on the carrier's online store -- no doubt a surprise, since we weren't expecting the phone to show up on sale for at least another month. For a device aimed at the budget-conscious, it's got some worthy specs: it's adorned with a 4.3-inch WVGA display, an 800MHz CPU, Android 2.3 and a five megapixel shooter. Will it whisk you away to a luxurious city lined with beaches ...

Xperia Mini Pro taunts Orange UK customers with free pricing, 'coming soon' status

Let's assume you're enjoying a warm pint in Notting Hill while texting your mate, when suddenly it hits you: the Xperia Mini Pro (X10) is no longer the beguiling beauty you once adored. If this describes your plight, worry not, because Sony Ericsson's latest Xperia Mini Pro is coming to Orange UK, where along with its 1GHz Snapdragon CPU and Gingerbread OS, it's teasing a free price with qualifying monthly plans. While the citrus-themed network hasn't named an official release date, it's erected a "coming soon" page in anticipation of the QWERTY slider's inevitable debut.

Orange UK offers daily 30MB for £3 roaming option for fee weary travelers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Orange
Oh Orange UK customers, you lucky dogs, your carrier is giving you a bit of a break as we enter globe-trotting season. No longer are you chained to absurd per-MB roaming charges or unnecessary monthly plans. Instead, you can shell out £3-a-day (about $5) for 30MB of data -- which is plenty for checking e-mail and doing some light browsing. If you don't use any data then you don't get charged (sweet!), but go over that limit and you're back to the normal £3.07-per-MB rate (not so sweet). It's a perfect option for the traveler who only spends a week or two abroad at a time, and it closes the gap with fellow UK provider Vodafone, which offers a £2-per-day, 25MB option. Now, if only others (espe...
