Orange UK drops Nokia N97 Mini because of high return rate

Posted in Nokia by Conner Flynn on January 7th, 2010

Nokia’s N97 Mini had all the makings of a successful phone, but what happened? Now it isn’t looking so good for Nokia. Orange UK has stopped offering the Nokia N97 Mini due to the high return rate of the phone. This seems odd because the reviews for the N97 Mini have been pretty good. Seemed as though users were happy.

Nevertheless, Orange UK doesn’t like it and they are over it. What about you? Any ‘Brick readers have problems with your N97 Mini? Let us know. Have you returned it? Or do you love it?

Orange UK releasing LG GD910 watch-phone on August 27th for £500Orange UK has announced pricing for the LG GD910 touchscreen watch phone we told you about back in July. The handset for your wrist went on sale in France earlier this month. It will be priced at £500 ($826) and only available for a limited time, sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

The GD910 will be launched at Orange’s flagship London store at first, the Bond Street Station branch, at 9am on August 27th. After that, in September, a limited number of devices will be sold on the carrier’s website. So if you want one you better not mess around.
