Guest Sonicr360 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Everyone I was talking to my Orange Tech Support, who let slip about a SPV C500 - Replacement to the E200 - He went to give me details, but then got told they were not for public release! This was news to me - Does anyone else know of this or is it possible the guy was mistaken? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeta101 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 ive not heard of anything official or even rumours, however its not unlikely either, cos HTC (the people who make the spv range) havent announced anything for a while now, motorola for example have the mpx100 and possibly the mpx220 in the pipeline while all is quiet on the HTC front (but they have to be up to something lol). If it is true and not just a mistake i wonder what the C stands for, cos originally the E in the E100 and then E200 stood for evolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sonicr360 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi I am literally going on by the Tech Guy, after I was trying to get my SPV to work with the IPAQ. I was going to go the E200 route for 7 day trial, when he told me about the latest phone coming in July and advised that I should hold fire for now on! But, we will have to wait and see what comes of this..... Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 There have been noises for a while about the next HTC phone going by names such as SPV E300 or SPV C500. It's more then likely going to be the model shown on Modaco a few months back. Effectively it'll be an E200 in a Canary like case but hopefully with quite a few improvements/updates.

Guest Colonel Trouble Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I hope this gets released soon because it will push the price of the already fantastic e200 down :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ajb3000 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 But the e200 case is soooo much better than the canary case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vector Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 But the e200 case is soooo much better than the canary case... Yeh, i agree, i'm not too keen on this new phone...(also being released as the qtek 8060 i think...) The E200 case is so much smoother and the keys are much better :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I won't judge it until I see it in the flesh because I like both my original SPV and my E200 cases but for different reasons. The original SPV IS a smaller phone and I'd have to say I prefer the directional pad and selector. Having said that, the E200 does have nicer lines and, I'd say, better build.

Guest goinnuts Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 that was the first name given to the e200, which looked like an e100 in red. then the e200 was launched. the only phones with a "c" in front that o are releasing are seimens.

Guest Pondrew Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Yes, must say most of the rumours I've heard have named the SPV E300 rather then C500. Either way, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a followup to the E200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not entirely accurate, Samsung use the letter C on models. I recently took a Samsung C100 back to Argos due it it being a terrible little phone. Was fine for a month but had so many bugs it was unreal. I used the money I got back from that to purchase a nifty E100 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I've just seen a picture of the SPV C500 on the Orange intranet site and it looks nothing like the E200 :wink: Not much specs to go by but it looks like the C500 will be a very nice addition to the the smartphone range.

Guest beersoft Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Martin please give us some details :) whats it look like (E200 style or SPV or a bit of both or all new? is it going to be 2k3SE? any idea's what the hardware is like (omap2 what speed? how much ram? what type of cam does it have?) and who do i have to bribe to test one of those lovely's??? we can do vague so don't go breaking any NDA's :lol: later Owen "Just waiting for the sound beating he should get for asking so many stupid questions" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vector Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Lets hope HTC have learned from their mistakes (there are quite a few :lol:) and really worked hard to get this phone right if it is real, I think if they don't improve then Motorola will just brush them aside, HTC will want to compete with the new Moto's :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looks to be a completely new design and it would compared alongside the MPX100 and Sagem S-7 rather than the SPV E200. There isn't much information yet as the profile (including technical specs) has not been made available . We only a have picture and few words posted up. Also something about the phone picture doesn't seem quite right so I guess it's a temporary posting. Hopefully we will have full update very soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
