It's this really cool thing you can do to allow to use phones that are locked down by GSM carriers on your carrier of choice.

Seriously though, I know I wont be able to bask in the 3G speeds but I'll settle for edge, just to say hey look, my device is smaller than your iPhone, but it has a bigger display, with "higher definition"

I can see it now, it's going to be so cool.

i know about unlocking, i have had a touch diamond since may here in Canada. what i was referring to is how he will get it at a subsidized price. i thought it was quite clear what i meant, but i guess not.]]>Oct 27th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/Oct 27th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/Oct 27th 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/Oct 27th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/Oct 27th 2008 6:02PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/
People will look at the Samsung Tocco and say "It's got a 5 megapixel camera WITH FLASH and a touchscreen, why's this 'Touch HD' so expensive?"

How dare you try and move our mobile phone network back into the days of paying for phones, Orange. This isn't America. I hope the HD flops because of this.]]>Oct 27th 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/Oct 27th 2008 5:17PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/I lived in the usa for 8 years and 8 years now in the UK and one thing is VERY CLEAR to see, you get a LOT more for your money in the USA.

Customer services (so called in the UK) actually expect you to pay 10p per minute to call them!!! I never once had anything but 800 numbers in the USA. Even phone companies expect you to call numbers where they collect income from you asking why there is a problem with your service. The brits are too polite to do anything about it, drives me insane.

In the usa I used to get 1 mile for 1$ in frequent flyer miles. Here you get 1 mile for 10pounds, nearly 20 as much money to get a free mile.
In the usa you join BMG and buy ONE cd and get 9 free. Here you buy 6 and get another 3 for free.

Chalk and cheese my friends, chalk and cheese.

the worst part about this being exclusive to orange is that you'll be getting raped on data charges if you want to go online...unles they've changed their data packages.]]>Oct 28th 2008 7:44AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/Oct 27th 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/

I'm sure it will cost way below £500 after xmas as well so just need to be a bit patient
