As I have just found out, it depends who you talk to. Carphone Warehouse say it's discontinued, Phones 4 U say it isn't and still have stock, Orange themselves don't think it's been discontinued but have no stock currently. It's driving me frickin' mad. I wonder whether it's worth swallowing my pride and paying the £75 early upgrade fee.

Apparently it's because they've had the phone for ages and it's time to stock an updated model. As long as they don't replace it with that horrible 3650. A rotary keypad, what kind of idiot would design that?
