Guest kevlar Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 not wanting to be contraversial, but there is something going on in the pictures with the size comparison. The front view and rear view show the width to be slightly less than the e200, but the end view shows the difference to be huge. Measure it yourself!

Guest mischievous Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 mpx100 looks better every day. the mpx220 looks even better. question, sort of out of topic here, does the 100/220 support EDGE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 cant be dimmed, the keypad light is on on the e200 :) you're right, thats one hell of a bright screen i actually dont mind its looks, just looks a little plain compared to other smartphones, and i really dont mind that layout, makes little difference to me where the back and home buttons are as long as you can press them :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dumdidum Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 We from www.pocketpc.ch have received pictures about the SPV C500 from orange, and I can confirm that it is really veeeeeeery small! Bluetooth and camera is confirmed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dumdidum Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Sorry, we cannot publish them yet (requested from orange) as orange switzerland did not yet decide if they will sell the C500... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest morpheus2702 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 OK it is said to run applications twice as fast as E100/E200 etc, but any word on processor speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mischievous Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 If the SD card is under the battery, then WiFi SD cards that will soon be available likely won't fit in this phone. rules it out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest londonlad Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 it looks like that alcatel on virgin mobile, lol. sd card behind the battery isnt that bad an idea, cos most will use activesync and theres a kinda relief that its internal and you dont have to worry bout it. bluetooth and camera - standard. I'd choose this over mpx100 but not over mpx 220. This time im going for somethin stylish and motorola. Has this still got an FM radio? (oh, i just got an idea, if it has then an app to record radio shows, kiss smooth groves in particular and playback when you want! - clever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lifestream Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I havn´t read a single post regarding the 2003 SE update and 240x320 res. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colonel Trouble Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hmm how much will it cost ? (£ if poss) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 i dont think this is 240 x 320 res, neither are the mpx220 and mpx100, but who knows, hopefully someone will make one soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Nice and tidy. Not sure I'd go for it over the MPX100 (I'll let price decide me) but I don't hate it! Greatly improved battery power and increased speed has to be good, especially when in such a small package. Not sure why there seems to be so many negative comments flying around. You'd have prefered HTC didn't release another Smartphone?!? Or if you're more worried about apparent lack of style I'd fully expect there to be other models coming from HTC within 6months of this one. At least now people have stopped b*tching about lack of bluetooth/camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 here here pondrew :) i like it, i like the specs (camera doesnt bother me to be honest, and at least it has one), and the design aint all that bad, the only slight downer is that control pad, but i'll have to try it out first, it may work well, who knows :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoos Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 You'd have prefered HTC didn't release another Smartphone?!? Well... actually.... they have released three phones to date and they still haven't released a good stable one :) I personally like the small size and sd under the battery so it doesn't get lost, but I can see where the SD not being external could hamper future sd cards with wifi and other things. Good that it's an SD and not mini SD too (too new and just another different type of media to buy now... I'd guess pricy too???)... I don't like that it's an HTC as I mention above, don't like the buttons at the top either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [email protected] Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Midnight: Are You sure about the rez on the 220? I haven't seen a lit screen that look like anything but a pasted in WM2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like that it's an HTC as I mention above, don't like the buttons at the top either. Wow. Strong feelings if you'd rather they stopped producing Smartphones altogether and stopped providing competition to other producers (surely keeping prices down?!). I got the original SPV back in December 2002 and loved it. It had loads of bugs but it also did things that no other phone device at the time could do (other then the XDA which I couldn't afford). Then last November I preordered the E200 and although it had it's problems they were greatly reduced from the original (i.e. definately a better product). Still, I think it's time to see how the other side live so I'll be trying the MPX100 for size when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meaks Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Whats the battery life slated as being? Similiar to the mpx100? I've gotta say that i've always wanted a smaller handset running windows smartphone - the mpx100 looks quite chunky like the e200. So if its got a good standby then it may well be my next phone!
