> Orange takes partial credit for developing HTC Typhoon phone
Does Orange take partial or full credit for not testing the SPV C500 correctly and releasing it with a GAPI problem that prevents most games from working well ?

actually they took full credit - they said that they knew that the GAPI bug is in, but decided to release the phone anyway, because it is phone for business people and for such people games are not important. |

True, but the bug also affects video applications, and video is important in devices that are marketed as "Multimedia" capable!
Also, I don't believe that Orange knew about the problem until the last moment, one week before the official lauch, when they finally gave some devices to some of the owners of some popular Smartphone websites.
So Orange did not do their homework correctly (i.e. they did not test the device properly during their Quality Testing). |

Err "not currently testing" does not mean "not interested". Orange won't be testing it until a manufactuer has made one, and anyway Wi-fi wouldn't work in the C500 because you couldn't fit the card in the slot behind the battery.
Orange's GPRS tariffs are the cheapest in the country. I am an Orange customer - you are not. Moan about it when it's got something to do with you.
Why can't you write normal, legitimate news stories? It's not difficult.
