Guest goinnuts Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 spv e200 y. coz its built in cam and blue tooth. more importantly though smartnes will still play landscape. the flip doesnt open flat out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idavid Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 why not wait till they actually exist, in any practical form... both are probably a month or two (if not more) from release, and we can only speculate on the most specifications! personally, the MPx200 though... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brody Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 SPV2 for me, its an upgrade in software and hardware, the MPx200 is just hardware and still only in terms of processor speed, no bluetooth or built in cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idavid Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 yeah, i know. the thing that appeals is the smaller size. i dont even like clamshells, but the c200 is looking like being pretty fat. plus, am not very fussed about the camera.

Guest Kallisti Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 SPV2, bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brody Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 idavid, fair enough if your not bothered by the camera but what about bluetooth and Smartphone 2003 software?! Wouldn't u love to use broadband on your phone from anywhere in your house? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idavid Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 ohhhh... that would be good! hadnt thought of that.... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idavid Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 but, what actual changes are we expecting from the 2003 OS? looks likely that it will be pretty much the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brody Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 If the Motorola had Smartphone 2003 with a built in camera and bluetooth then there'd be no contest ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idavid Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 If the Motorola had Smartphone 2003 with a built in camera and bluetooth then there'd be no contest ;) were there not noises about a second version of the motorola with some of these features to be released after thios one??

Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 SPV C200 A decent camera (al last) and bluetooth. Like the man said, 600k access in you palm. Fantastic. Is the c200 actually getting the processer upgrade or not? I've heard mixed info. The moto looks nice, but it's not got all the 'extra stuff' i want. It'll sell well tho. Normal people will buy it.

Guest Jasonkruys Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 SPV 2 quite simply cos of the built in camera. The motorola has an sd card one, which in my eye makes it useless as you will soon fill up the memory on the phone. Bluetooth is a plus too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crispy Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Gotta say SPV2 too, coz of the camera, SP2003 and Bluetooth ... It is, however, quite a shock that it still uses the 132mhz CPU ... A damn shame to ruin an otherwise PERFECT phone :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gorskar Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Maybe Ill pass it and wait for the Mitac Mio 8390, the ASUS (if it ever actaully materialises) or the updated Motorola with a built in camera/bluetooth/SP2003. Any one of those would make me a happy bunny. I gotta admit though, I do think out of those mentioned I like the styling on the motorola the best. The updated motorola would probably be my first choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morpheus2702 Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Were you to mate the phones, you'd get something approaching greatness... Smartphone 2003, integrated camera, Bluetooth, 200MHz processor, funky design As it is, we've got two phones that both have compromises! SPV C200 - if we are to believe the rumours, same old processor as before (so same amount of eggtimer on screen) Mx200 - no BT, no integrated camera, Smartphone 2002 Still, we'll all lust after them, whores that we are...

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 And one more time: The SPV E200 does NOT have the same CPU as the SPV E100. You can all rest assured it will be faster than the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morpheus2702 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Sorry Mono, but is this from the same source that said the latest update was round the corner? When I see it, I'll believe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest doyle_am Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 C200 for me please just for the bluetooth. It's the only thing I miss from my T68i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest casper508 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 SPV2 for sure. Reason: all the best features in ONE place (finally) and I hate clamshells. But as for the specs, i'm with morpheus2702. Specially since the name/pic in the catalog is misleading. Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Sorry Mono, but is this from the same source that said the latest update was round the corner? When I see it, I'll believe it! And which source did you get the rumour of the same processor from? As for the 1.6 fiasco, right up until the day of the meet we were under the impression that it was being released. Either way that's now in the past. The SPV2 will definately have a faster processor, and i will stand by that ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morpheus2702 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Oh come on Mono, who are you trying to kid? The whole debate about whether the SPV2 does or does not have a faster processor has been raging for weeks now, not only here but in any of a number of Smartphone sites. As far as I am aware, you are the only one putting their neck out and saying it will have a faster processor. Fair enough, but I've seen nothing to confirm or deny this. And its just my own view that it is better to be a pessimist when it comes to all things Smartphone/Orange. That way, you don't get disappointed!

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I used to be like that, but found that theres no harm in a little optomism, especially when Mr Orange himself told me the CPU will be faster. I am inclinded to believe him this time as i think rejecting a faster handset for a slower one is a little beyond even Orange's past history. I remember the rumour of the slower processor starting on this forum, its not too much to believe that it will have spread to other sites by now, 4-5 weeks later. But that is all it is, a rumour. As i said, i will stand by that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spikex Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 What's with the fascination with Bluetooth and integrated cameras? You all say you want Bluetooth, but hardly any of you have a practical application for it. Both I would consider to be pointless unless you really are the sort of person who uses either....what could bluetooth be useful for in a Smartphone? Wireless activesync? What's wrong with the USB cradle...? What else can you use it for? Just how many other bluetooth devices are out there anyway? Why not just use infra-red instead? The Nokia's have real good compatability with the SPV's infra-red...you can rnasfer contacts...oohhhhh! Integrated camera? Euck! Never use it.

Guest morpheus2702 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 On the face of it Spike, I have to agree. It was the same when I got my T39... nice to know it had Bluetooth, but did I have a single pratical use for it? No, not at all... But know, I've noticed that more and more devices do have it, and I think that will be the trend. Not that i will lose any sleep by not having Bluetooth, but it would be handy on occasion. Same with the camera - if someone had said even 3 years back mobile phone with camera, I would have said 'ok, what about chocolate teapots'. Its a novelty to have, but I'm starting to count the occasions when a sudden photo opportunity arises... and either I don't have the camera attachment with me, or by the time I've snapped it on and the phone is ready, the opportunity has gone. I just think that technology doesn't answer many needs... you just find uses for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
