No more N-Series Nokias on Orange??

I went into an orange shop yesterday to look into upgrading my handset
as i was fedup waiting for orange to release (or even announce the
pending release of...) the n82. The manager in the shop told me Orange
would not be releasing anymore N Series nokias - ever.

I had heard rumours that they had fallen out with nokia over the music
download service, but surely this is a bit extreme. They are starting
to make 3look more attractive every day, this will surely increase
churn because even though they are often bug ridden the high end
nokias are about the only decent phones orange supply.

Can anyone confirm this, or was the manager simply trying to fob me
off with one of oranges "own brand" toy handsets to meet his sales
targets.
