This is a news story about a version of the SmartPhone OS being launched this week in the States. Interestingly it states that this version includes Word and Excel viewers. I hope these will be included in the next Orange patch, although to be honest I'm much more interested in seeing fixes to bugs - like the 3sec-freeze-up problem.

How comes the Hitatchi phone gets a 400Mhz processor while ours in the SPV runs at a measly 80Mhz??

Actually the Orange SPV has a TI OMAP 710 processor running at 132mhz.

Still does not match up to the Hitachi processor though!:D

Personally i think the Orange SPV is a great phone but could of done with being 5 times faster than it is. I want my phone to be instant when going through the menus and not have to wait as much between certain screens to load up (especially the home screen and sounds menu).

So Micro$oft are using false advertising then on the stats of the hardware?

I don't think the new phones are using the Smartphone os, more like PPC 2002 Phone Edition.

Check out the pick of the new phone.
