I have to agree. If thats the final design, (which I very much hope it isn't) then I certainly wont be buying one. Even if it has features up the wazoo... its a rotten looking phone. All 3 previously released SPV's look much, much better than that.
It looks like the whole phone was made in photoshop, what with all the bevelled buttons and such. Sorry to be pesimistic, but I think a lot of people would be very put off if its released looking like something from a cheap rip-off of the matrix :)

PS. Midnight, what theme is that you have running on your screen dude, it looks interesting...

Cheers Paul.

I thought I'd seen the metallic-ness somewhere recently. I meant to look further into that post but got sidetracked... as I seem to often do on MoDaCo :)
If it wasn't so damn useful and entertaining I'd say there was TOO much information here. But like I say, damn useful and entertaining.
Keep up the good work fellas.

I would say that to the public MoDaCo is the source and I personally trust that MoDaCo will only post what they believe to be reliable from their sources and will have disclaimers on things they aren't too sure about...

Oh yea, and my personal opinion FWIW is that I need an 9 way joystick, bluetooth, and camera before I buy another new smartphone... That navigation thing looks pretty ugly too...

I'm inclined to agree about the MPx220. However, I feel I might be able to be tempted if this phone is a decent size, has all the features of the 220, plus the FM radio.

It's really good to see an FM radio making an appearance - hopefully this will become standard. How long till DAB?

Sorry it's so crude, but the blue bit on this image is the "extra" width on the original image :lol:

Why can't they manage Bluetooth? That 64MB looks nice though.

the engadget thing is even worse, they credit mswhatsisface as the source (who by the way made no mention of MoDaCo (as usual) in his news article)

Engadget has credited Modaco with a link to Modaco, so they mention Modaco big time.

The C500 will not have Bluetooth...

How do you know? If it doesn't it will be a pretty useless handset.

Still prefer the MPX100

i could have sworn that when i checked the image the sizes where correct

edit, mine was slightly out, corrected on first page, but anyways, its roughly same width as e100, but a lot less high, and a lot thinner, the sizes are given there in mm
