iPhone in trouble in France?
Added on 2007-10-05 10:36:00
by Alfredo Padilla

According to French newspaper Les Echos Apple's deal with Orange to release the iPhone in France this year may be in trouble. We've seen reports of troubles before, but their report points to the specific reason for the problem, namely a French law requiring phones to be sold both with and without a contract. This could upset the model Apple has chosen for iPhone distribution that includes Apple receiving a cut of carrier revenues for iPhone users. Many countries in Europe have laws that require phones to be sold unlocked, and as we've seen with the 1.1.1 fiasco Apple does not look kindly upon this. As such France may join a long list of countries in Europe that won't see an iPhone anytime soon.

Methinks You Doth Protest Too Much
Added on 2007-04-28 01:29:00
by Rusty Weiss

Amidst a current social landscape where protests are a staple of just about any event, we have some disgruntled HTC and Orange customers starting a petition.
 
The gripe involves the HTC P3600 and Orange SPV M700 being overlooked for inclusion in a Windows Mobile 6 upgrade. With five other HTC models receiving the upgrade, users of the aforementioned models are feeling left out in the cold. 
 
One particular customer isn’t going to take it any more. Xboss, on the::unwired forum, has had enough of their ignored phone calls, and like a scorned lover, decided to become a tad obsessive. They have started a petition to put HTC and Orange on notice. The goal is to attain roughly 1000 signatures.
