Well it seems like Orange got there first and the other thing they are offering until the 31st August is what they call BB talk reduced to just £2.50 instead of £10 per month. They also have some great deals for non Business users to the best i found was Dolphin 35 with £5 off via the Web @£30pm and BB talk @£2.50pm and a Bold @£49.99. Voda on the other hand say it will launch 3rd September and have no prices yet but want £10pm for BB service and £130 for a 8310 on a similar length and spend contract. I don't want to guess what they will won't for the Bold but i doubt it will be cheaper than the Orange deal.
I think I'm going to go with Orange for the Bold as the BB talk savings and Bold price seem good to me. Also Orange has good 3G/HSDPA coverage and speeds as they have a Network sharing agreement with Voda now.
This will be my first BB and I'm quite excited about trying a new OS just hope I'm not going to be disappointed. But i will hold on to my E90 for a while just in case as can always run the BB Connect on that anyway minus the outbound Pin messaging.

Spoke to Voda yesterday as my contract is about to expire.
1st October via web or 22nd Sept via phone. Orange deal sounds good but where I live it's either T-Mobile or Voda if I want a signal to go with it. On orange O2 or 3 it would just be an mp3 player !!!
I hear the O2 / Rim Launch for the Bold is the first week in September. Cant wait to get my hands on one.
Not now it isn't.

They're taking the p***s. All they're doing is trying to test the water to see what people are willing to pay. I had one supplier telling me last month I'd be paying £410 a unit and that's already gone down to £350 - I should be getting unbranded stock Wednesday next week.
Quite correct, the launch has been delayed a week. All very annoying but hopefully worthwhile in the long run if the initial issues are ironed out and bug fixes applied prior to release.
