Morning All

Can i have a rant, i read Coolsmartphone and MoDaCo atleast 3 times a day, and occationally visit MSMobiles (about every other day).

While Coolsmartphone and MoDaCo are very informative, i find MSMobiles to be some what less. The reason i have posted this rant in this topic is because of this article they posted.

Orange SPV M500 Pocket PC phone and Orange SPV C550 MS Smartphone appear on the web site of Orange UK

It would appear that if ANY new phone does not come with WM5.0 then they are total against it. I have read a few articles on WM5.0 and to be honest the 'upgrade' does not appear to be that much of an increase on WM2003 SE. and should you really be buying a phone pn the basis that it has a new version of the operating system on it... NO, at least thats what i think. You should buy a phone based on its features, from MSMobiles point of view. if they release a phone that had NO bluetooth, NO camera, and was the size of a building brick, BUT had WM5.0 on then they would recommend it.

Now there will probably be lots of people who disagree, but that is what open discussion is all about. So come on, tell me to shut up.

So the M500 is the same as a Dopod 828? (E.G. More memory and dark grey?)
