Telecom Paper has reported that Orange will launch 3G mobile phone services in France and the UK in Q3-2004, closely followed by Belgium and Switzerland.
Inset is Richard Brennan, Executive Vice President, Global Brand, Marketing and Products, Orange who was quoted by Telecom Paper.
The delay has been blamed on technical problems with handsets, according to Richard Brennan, executive vice president of Orange World. Orange is currently testing 3G handsets from six manufacturers and will announce a shortlist of suppliers within a couple of months of October 2003, according to 3G Mobile. Earlier, Orange stated that commercial launch was planned mid-2004.
