an orange that has become a lemon which really is starting to smell like a dorian fruit.
Trying to get my iPhone from Orange sucks more than lemons...it is like one big Dorian fruit.
My last email yesterday from Orange says that my pre reserved phone is in my account section of their website.
"Nous sommes heureux de vous informer que le nouvel iPhone 3G est d’ores et déjà disponible sur orange.ch sous la rubrique «Mon Compte». Alors découvrez sans plus attendre l’incroyable monde iPhone avec Orange."
Well it is not. See video below. I am in an endless loop!! After calling customer services they told me to click on the left hand side of the page to access my pre registration for my iPhone. Well that does not work. They told me also that another email was to come tonight. Well getting old waiting for that one to arrive...
Aside from doubling my monthly bill because it is an iPhone and selling it for 399 CHF/12 month plan (very roughly 1.1 with USD) for 16Gb I am starting to think that this is somewhat of a joke. I have also just heard that for 1,200 849 CHF you can get a 16gb iPhone with no monthly plan - well that goes beyond a joke.
Now take into account that a friend of mine called my local orange shop and they told her that there are only 20 in stock. Well this joke gets so huge that it becomes a legend. Makes one wonder is this all just hardcore hype just to create an artificial sense of demand for this product by Orange? I am a big fan of the iPhone and everything that it comes with but all I can say now is WTF?
