Hey people, I frequent the site just to get an update on goings on but in 3 months my contract is due for renewal and i've been offered a 'free' upgrade from an M500 to SPV 650. 'How about the M700' I asked the sales bloke.. "£99" he said.. I know that this device is capable of being upgraded to WM6 PPC but is it worth it? I saw the O2 flame and thought.. Damn that's going to be expensinve!!

I wan't a PPC device similar to the M500 with a processor to match, wifi and if possible GPS.

Can someone give some advice for this upgrade? I don't want a ppc device with a processor slower than my current phone, Don't really want the slide out keybord, DO want the touch screen. I also read the M700 has a flash on the camera and is also 3G the 650 is not 3G enabled...I Just need a second oppinion before I decide on the M700.

Sounds like the M700 is just what you want coming from the M500, so it probably is worth the £99, it's a great device!

I've got an SPV M700, running WM6 just fine :rolleyes:

I've seend the XDA dev forums on the WM6 update. what are to Pros and Cons obviously the warranty on the phone is void.

I've got the phone now. It's a great piece of kit, looks similar to my M500 shame that the port cover at the bottom has been removed as I thought this was a great idea. I had to edit the reg to allow B and G wifi. This phone is a war drivers best friend.

Why did you stay with Orange? if you don't mind me asking. Without unlimited data these devices are severely hampered IMHO and I can't afford O's data!

Yeh the data rates do suk balls . What's the difference between gprs/3g, "It's faster" the response was...

same price for 3g as gprs data Go figure....

the more data you use/ meg the less it costs, Yeah it pays to surf for longer periods.. REALLY?!!! sounds like BS to me :rolleyes:

Mobile phone companies have to make their money some how. If it wasn't on data it's got to be put somewhere else. I would have prefered charging stupid rates for Technical support.

But the phone is still great. I still would like to know if everything still works if you put WM6 on it
