The SPV C500 – not big, but clever. Live on Orange website NOW

My first reaction to this was – and I’ll be honest here – “F*****g h*** that’s nice!”. This is one superb handset. A completely and utterly flat screen, better build quality, tiny but very functional and it flies … this is outstanding. It’s also live on Orange.co.uk here!!!


Yes, it records video in MPEG-4… Yes, it records H.263 (like 3G phones)… Yes, the joystick takes a bit of getting-used-to… Yes, it’s faster… Yes, the sound is crisper and clearer… Yes, the Bluetooth implementation is better… Yes, Caller ID features are slotted into the camera option better.. Yes, yes yes… I like this a lot – and I’ve only had it a very short time.


A quick example photos from the phones’ inbuilt camera can be seen here. Oh.. and yes, some games don’t work. Hopefully this’ll be fixed soon. I’ve just tried Gringos and it died horribly 🙁


A LOT more detail on this very soon. Don’t forget to get your name down for one of these excellent handsets by clicking here. You can also get a great deal on MiniSD cards here at MSMobileNews.com (this handset takes MiniSD cards – not standard ones !)
