[Guest timmillwood]

i had the first SPV but changed to NOKIA whrn i upgraded to MAC now i want a free fone and the E200 is free, when looking into it SPV's will now work with mac so i am interested again

The c500 is a HUGE improvement compared to the e200.

First of all there's the size. The c500 makes the e200 look like a brick.

Then there's the battery life. SPVs have been plagued with poor battery life since they were born, but not the c500. It's battery life is great. Last a few days at a time instead of 1/1.5 at a stretch.

The bluetooth support is much better too. The c500 supports handsfree profile whereas the e200 has more limited bluetooth support.

The c500 also has teh newer version of Windows Mobile, so a lot of bugs are ironed out. For example, you can now set delivery reports to on by default.

I used to have huge problems with the e200 joystick. It just stops working properly after a while. I had my e200 changed 3 times because of this. the new c500 controller takes a short while to get used to, but I definitely prefer it now. However, the c500 has limited gaming ability. You can read more about it by searching the forums.

I don't think I really need to go on here...I think you get the idea. In my opinion, it would be a stupid move to go for an e200 now.

The best selling point for me is the battery life on the C500 is far better than the E200

this is a no brainer for me - the C500 wins hands down.

Also think about future values. When you upgrade after this time there is a chance the C500 will be worth good money to someone on ebay but the E200 will be old hat by then and you might not get a lot for it. I reckon what extra you pay now, you wll get back later. Well that's my thinking anyway.
