While the Smartphone3 is on sale in several Orange countries (but still not in all), the HTC Blue Angel (also known as Xda III or T-Mobile III) isn't on sale anywhere. So the earliest release dates I got yet are end of September - not that bad at all. As long as I haven't received any confirmed ETAs for the one or the other device, it's not available for pre-order through the PPCW.Net Shop. Stay tuned for more information as soon as I receive any updates."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20040901-imatespv3.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Arne is well known for selling the i-Mate and i-Mate 2 through his website, PPCW.Net. It's great to see that he's going to continue that trend and offer the i-Mate 3 for sale. We will let you know as soon Arne starts the pre-sales. :)

Orange is selling the C500 unlocked to developers, but they don't require that you prove that you're a developer. :)

Price is £253.80 inc VAT, which equals US$455

Buying an unlocked developers phone from Orange has always been about the most expensive way to get a phone, so if US$455 is the high-end, that's not so bad! :)

I can't wait to see how much i-mate does it for...
