One thing I've noticed of late, especially when testing these excellent HTC devices, is that the traditional "contract" with networks is perhaps not always the best way to go. I've been with Orange for years - I had a Nokia 5.1 to begin with, way back...

The Orange SPV brand, as we've expected for a while, is to be dropped. No longer will HTC devices simply be rebranded as Orange SPV's - the manufacturer has now grown its' own base in Europe and is seeking a slot next to the big players like Nokia, …

OK, I'll admit it. I'm a bit lost. After going through several pages of tariffs I'm still unable to find the new Orange flat rate plans that are to launch this month. We've been promised "anytime browsing" by their press release but it just doesn't se...
