Orange and O2 fume over Skype inclusion on Nokia N97

That’s the way of the world — if you can’t adapt, you lose. UK telcos Orange and O2 are perturbed with the inclusion of Skype into the Nokia N97.

The move to include Skype into a phone to ship beckons that that there exists a thin line between regular calls and data.

dear O2 and Orange — you’re obviously showing signs of insecurity. It’s been many years predicted that VoIP and data will be the wave of the future and many other telcos have learned to adapt – like 3 Mobile for instance.

Boo you.

Orange drops iPhone 3G to $99.00

Telcos do this all the time but by George, what a whopping drop for the iPhone! The 8GB iPhone is currently experiencing a huge price cut to $99.00 from Orange just in time for the holidays. This is way below the suggested retail price of the phone leaving a lot of subsidizing going for Orange. Moves like this usually cater to the initial appetite for gadget lust without consumers realizing how “trapped” they are in their post paid cellular plans for the next so and so months.
