Guest ddieter Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Check out the M500 pics on msmobiles.com http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/3768.html Am I the only one that thinks the Orange M500 looks pretty good? I don't know if its the light the pics are taken in, but the silver finish seems to look darker than on the Jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uczmeg Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 The finish is nice, but I think it looks ugly compared to the Jam. My big problem is that my Jam is now ugly too. I dropped it and it's not quite a scratched mess. Doesn't seem to be any easy way to get the case off or get a new one either... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pondrew Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I'm with the 'looks better' camp. Did the Jam have the attention to detail on the rear/camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Perfectionist Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 It does look better I reckon - however all JAM the versions are pretty anyhow ;) Cant stand that damn Orange logo though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MitchellO Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Cant stand that damn Orange logo though ! Just use a sugarcube to scratch it off and it will be gone!! Works perfectly, and it debranded my Mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spvdk Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) The styling is a matter of taste. And the original Jam / S100 styling certainly wasn't my taste! I actually hated the looks of the Jam, when I saw the first pictures, and it kept my interest very low. Today, after owning a Magician for 1-2 months, I like the looks of the Jam/S100 a bit more, but that is because I know what it can do. I still prefer the Orange M500, though ;) Edited April 19, 2005 by spvdk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Exodia Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I like the look of the back ;) P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, but the front is unattractive. I think the button style and that "sink" that they are sitting in look goofy. And is it just my eyes, or does it look thicker than the jam from the side?

Guest Vector Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 The casing on the M500 is actually a bit bigger than that of the JAM/S100/XDA Mini etc. ;) http://www.pocketpt.net/galeria/view_album...=CEBIT05&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike-oh Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Give me the front of the Jam and the back of the M500 but in silver and i'd be a very happy chappy! I reckon speaker quality will be better on the M500 too as there's somewhere for the sound to come out of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 It's bigger huh? Interesting. You know, I'd be interested to hear if the build quality is improved... just that people have complained of loose/creaky cases on the MDA Compact/Jam along with rattling from the volume switch. Could it be that Orange/Vodafone have both engineered that out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 The build quality on my Mini is better than any PDA that I have had before (a bit better than my Jornada, a real rock!). Other than the slight volume button rattle (but who shakes their PDA anyway??) there is nothing wrong with the build. I love the metal casing, something I missed on the 4 PDAs (3 iPAQs and an Axim) I had after my Jornada 545. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 PPCT just posted on this device: http://www.krome.com.au/index.htm The Krome Spy. Same design as the Orange/Vodafone but from an Australian company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) What do you think!! ;) :D :D Looks much better without the "bowl" around the buttons and the orange logo! Edited April 20, 2005 by MitchellO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MitchellO Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 The least they could do it give you something extra for that ugly look and thicker case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 The least they could do it give you something extra for that ugly look and thicker case. When will this be available? I have mullered my C500 and am not sure wether to pay £70 to get it repaired or just bin it (I have 4 months on my contract at £15/month) and get a new phone and I was thinking of a JAM but this looks nice but no sign of it on Orange's web site - is it one of those "doin't hold your breath" phones?

Guest Pondrew Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 It's only been available in Holland and Switzerland thus far but both announed the release within the last couple of weeks so here's hoping Orange UK won't be far behind...

You do of course have a choice of input methods, including phone pad and actually 'writing' on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
