Samsung E710 on Voda

[gemini]

Ok I need a new phone and love the E700 but I have just seen that the E710 is out on voda!!! I am on Orange and have no wish to move so my question is as you can probably guess, will Orange ever release the E710 or is it another Vodafone only exclusive phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, I think its a Vodafone exclusive. Vodafone shop told me that phone is locked to them (one reason over several I'm moving to 02).

I think the E715, the 'American' E700, has similar features, though I believe the OLED screen is one-colour on the US version and its a tad heavier. Perhaps a US member can confirm?

Just found this (sort of) comparitive review, which might help:

As to whether Orange will release a different-numbered E710/715 is anyone's guess. But if they sell the E700 already then I'd speculate that they won't. You could always get a PAYG E710 from Voda, when they release it, but <!!£££!!>. Unlock it for £20 or by using codes on various websites, including this one.

the other feature the E710 has over the E700 is a flash and a crap coloured shell
