In November 2002 Orange launched the original SPV. At the same time a small page cropped up devoted to it. This single page grew into a site called CoolSmartPhone.com. As we've moved on, so have Orange and the SPV range. Orange brought us the first Wi...
Who needs an iPod eh ? Well it appears that millions of people do. I walked past the huge Apple shop in Birmingham the other day and it was heaving looking at iPods and accessories. A popular accessory for the iPod is this thing.. If you've got a …
Hot on the heels of the T-Mobile MDA Vario (reviewed here) comes the MDA Compact II. This time it comes in graphite or this "WoAh!!!!" baby pink colour. We had the pink one in for testing, and to be honest as a man about town I doubt I'd …
Outside The outer skin of the Orange SPV M600 looks like rubber, however it feels like steel. The bold "M600" logo on the top left and the "SPV" in the centre suit the unit well and give it a understated yet space-age feel. The c...
I managed to get a very brief look at the Motorola Q today so I thought I'd take some shots of it along with my first thoughts. First up - apologies for the quality of the snaps, they were taken with my C600 and the lack of a …
Just a few days ago I mentioned a cheap MP3 / SD card reader here. I went ahead and bought one to review and it arrived just the other day. The unit itself is a plastic / rubber texture with flexible buttons. In the box there's a set …
Note - This review uses fairly large video files. You may have to wait a few seconds after pressing "play" for the video to load. I'm probably going to switch these to a different format shortly! :) The idea is simple. Make a box that will record s...
Review & Cam Pics - Ian Moore Additional Handset Pics / Screens - AgentM T-Mobile SDA, various prices (dependent on tarrif) - Here on the T-Mobile SDA page After previously owning an SPV E200 (remember the battery life before the update?!), I really got put off the Smartphone, …
The Orange G2 Bluetooth headset is an excellent bit of kit. Although there is little mention of it on the Orange website, it is available from Orange shops for around £40. The headset is a branded version of the BlueTrek G2, which can be obtained fr...
I'm on holiday right now. In fact, I'm about 50 metres from the beach. It's bloomin hot and I've read through pretty much every magazine we brought. Now, not being a terrific book-reader, I'd normally spend this time drinking some Banks beer (it's a b...
Motorola MPx220 – I've got one at last After 12 months with my mpx200 and being extremely pleased I have eagerly waited Orange in the UK to offer the mpx220 for the last 6 months. I usually get a free upgrade every 12 months because there is bound …
So you've got a brilliant MP3 - be it a PodCast or a new dance track - and it's stored on your Smartphone. Then, you get in your car and you wanna listen to it on your way to work. Options? Well, you could use your headphones - …
The FlexiSkin from for Orange SPV C500 / Audiovox SMT 5600 is designed to stop your phone looking dented and scratched while preserving its "coolness". The problem with many cases for such a tiny phone is that they tend to hide the ...
I've reviewed some Boxwave products before and they have a very clever "winding" mechanism included in a lot of their products. The Boxwave MiniSync cable scored highly with me and... let's be honest, this does too. Before I've ev...

Theres a few things i picked up on which other review havn't mentioned so feel free to mention them! Pros-- Camera is better (could have been even better with a 2.0 megapixcel, oh well)- When i send mms messages an icon now displays in the top rig...
Here's some pictures of the "Stowaway Keyboard" made by ThinkOutside (California). Rico sent these in and it looks just the job for those who love their keyboards. Here it is in action with an Orange M500. Rico got his from Tottenham Court Rd for abo...
What can I say about the SanDisk Ultra II 2.0Gb SD card ? Well, to be honest you can't say much. That's not a bad thing either. This thing is massive - it's like the tardis. It's amazing to think that I had a hard drive in my …
The latest in the SPV range, the C550 is pretty similar to the C500 which was released a few months ago. This time however the joystick has made a come-back, Windows Media Player 10 is on-board, there's dedicated music buttons on the front,...
Introduction Well, here it is - a preview of the Orange SPV C600, the new Smartphone from Orange which - until now - has been pretty damned secretive. The C600 is made yet again by HTC with the code-name "HTC Tornado". HTC sit in the background a...
