Well, if this is true, I will be very interested to find out if they are using a special software version. This is because the HK P800 I purchased has no line 2 support in the software. Additionally, it doesn't have complete support for the voicemail symbol. Each time the symbol is activated or de-activated you additionally get a text message saying "voicemail waiting". I wouldn't mind so much if it only happened when you got a new message, but the fact you get it when you delete all your voicemails too, is a pain. This is software R1B
Patchy is right, this is a feature of Orange. Use you P800 on Voda or O2 and you won't have this problem. If you want the voicemail symbol to consistently appear you'll need a specific Orange version of the phone. This is one of the reasons why Orange have been so slow with handsets in the past. They get a specially configured version of each handset.

Actually, that still isn't quite true. The use of the voicemail spool symbol is used by more networks than just Orange. Additionally the "vanilla" T28, T68, T68i, T39 all worked in regards of ALS and voicemail symbols without any modifications. The only modification Orange had to make with these phones, was to display the correct message when a "sim update" was sent. A vanilla Nokia 7650 also works in terms of ALS (although this had bugs in first software release) and voicemail spool symbols.

@Celios, i didn`t say it was an Orange thing, as i use RB1 with an orange sim & i don`t get the viocemail sms problem, my spool shows as it did with the t68i, & i get no unwanted sms, thats just my experience. i just wanted to point out that this sms thing happens because some networks send an sms notification for a vioce message, i`ve heard of it with t68i in certain circumstances.
Also apart from a few extra pictures, an Orange logo in start up & a few Orange network services in the menus, the Orange P800`s wont be much different. unless they are orange ....yuk

Someone on the Orange list has stated that the Orange Build sorts out the voicemail issue.
ALS support is not yet confirmed.
Oh and someone else has said that the release date has slipped to the 24th.

I have a P800 from Dubia but have the same problem on orange that line 2 does not work. Tried getting a sim update from orange but still no line 2. Does anyone know if after Orange launch the phone i will be able to get an update so i can use line 2? Or will that feature only work if you buy the phone from orange?

It may not work on the Orange release version.
Someone on the list is checking it out.

Tks RMG. It would be a shame if the P800 did not support Line 2. Might try taking my phone to SE service centre for an update and see if anything changes. But i would find it strange that such an advanced phone does not support line 2
Lets just hope.

Being able to assign it to a Voice command would be nice to

Now lets not get carried away with the wishful thinking. You never know it might be on the next software update (joke).
All the best
