"</i><br /><br />Did everyone read that last line? <i>..."It will be sold in Europe, <b>US</b> and Asia"</i> :D By the sounds of things, this phone will be available on Orange's network really soon. Hopefully we will see this in North America shortly after! I'm so happy...

Hopefully they mean "sold by a carrier" in regards to the US. :)

I wish the report had clarified if only the C500s are shipping or if the Qtek 8010s were also shipping along with them. Maybe Arne/PPCW.net will carry it. :-)

Well, C500 is the Orange name. So it will be called Qtek, or iMate something or other. Also, I've read that Orange will be offering the phone in both colours. So I would expect whatever is coming to the US will also be available in both colours.

But wouldn't they be manufactured in two separate lots. First maybe the phones marked/labelled C500 because Orange is a paying customer, with possibly a huge order. And then the ones labelled Qtek or I-mate for the retail market or other carriers.
