The tri-band unit is expected to ship with a 176 x 220, 64,000-colour screen, a VGA camera with 4x digital zoom, Bluetooth support, 32MB of RAM, 64MB of ROM and a MiniSD slot for expansion."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050425-OrangeC550Front.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />The article doesn't mention anything about when Orange will have these in stock and ready for you to buy, but the word on the street is July 11th. You can see the phone on Orange's <a href="http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/show/handset/spv_c550/detail">website.</a> However, there is no price or availability info posted. Anyone looking to be the first to own one of these might want to check their bank balance, because it won't be long now. :D
