Nokia 6233 discontinued by orange?

Just spoke to OrangeCS (wanted to find out when the Nokia 6300 is due out on
Orange - it is on their website as coming soon - of course they knew
nothing!) and they told me that the 6233 has been discontinued due to the
large number of faults they have had with it.

If true, then they are still selling it on their website and it would seem a
pretty short lifetime for that phone. Does it really have that many
problems? I have been thinking about it - maybe just the orange software on
it is buggy?

Cheers, JL

It certainly has been discontinued, but no reason has been forthcoming.
Orange Shops still have stock.

I'm sending my second 6233 (o2) back today, same problem, still problems
with saving new words in dictionary, they stay for a few days, and then
revert to their original form. Quite happy with the phone itself, although
photo quality not brilliant, lack of flash perhaps,
