Which deal did you go for?
gsm only = 2g
I went for the 18 month contract with unlimited data, 300 minutes and unlimited texts for £35 a month and £40 for the phone.

Its just a little widget that sits on your home screen, tap once to turn data off, once more to turn it on again. Couldn't be more simple

Ouch, didnt you know dialaphone are offering the same deal for £21 a month after cashback and a free phone on Orange?
GSM is normal G.
Btw a "black" photo or black screen doesn't have any pink tint, this is OLED remember, Black is pure black, the pink tint only shows itself when a lower brightness is used and can be more visible on grey shades than anything else. Black is pure black, it's so black you won't see the screen outline in a ptch black room, only what's onscreen (use desk clock as a test).

Have to admit, I went for the £25 deal to save all the faffing with redeeming the cashback
The Orange branding is a logo on the back bottom, logo on phone startup and various Orange apps and icons dotted around with a custom logo on the web browser too. Orange have removed Google Talk and some other minor stuff but I'm sure you can install those if someone send you the APK should you require them.
Other than that it's not as bastardised as many other Orange phones are. It is of course locked to Orange as well.

I think what fox was asking is whether the dialaphone handsets were unlocked or orange handsets
I don't think they can have removed Talk, without Talk I can't sign into the market or my account at all, not sure why, but whenever I've uninstalled it I've had to completely reflash my phone
Or am I thinking of Voice? I get confused

Anyone know if this will work on the 3G bands in the USA? I guess not since USA carriers use 850MHz (AT&T) or 1700MHz(T-Mobile USA) for 3G.

I just tried mine out, and mine is the same as yours
And mine, but unless for some reason I decide to put the brightness right down and view a grey screen, I'm never going to know (and didn't before this post).
From what I've read in reviews, no, as a lot of the reviews say it won't be going to the US in its current form due to that fact.
Apparently the underlying process is still there and runs, but the front-end app is gone/hidden and can't be reinstalled. Some people have managed to do it manually using an APK file I believe.
TBH the Orange customisation isn't too bad and doesn't really bother me very much. As and when system updates start appearing then, if Orange drag their heels, I might put a standard ROM onto it for faster updates. Some have already done this but, until there's a way back to the Orange one for warranty purposes, I won't be bothering.

Order still showing as processing on Dialaphone despite it supposed to be arriving on Thursday.
Hope that changes by the end of today.
