Guest Eran Posted February 5, 2003 Report Posted February 5, 2003 Thx to everyone for their support, i'll be getting a brand new Orange SPV from france for 499 euro. Ive got a question: with how much memory for apps does the device come and does the bundle come with a SD card or do i need to buy one also does it come with the digital camera? Regards Eran
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 5, 2003 Report Posted February 5, 2003 You get an 8MB card so you do need to go out and get a bigger one really Yes it comes with the camera
Guest xanadu Posted February 5, 2003 Report Posted February 5, 2003 Yes it comes with the camera NO, it does NOT come with the camera, if purchased in France. The Camera is an option in France and has to be purchased seperately.
Guest Eran Posted February 5, 2003 Report Posted February 5, 2003 The 8mb is additional memory to the existin 32mb? that means i have 40mb of storage mem when i get it right? Eran
Guest xanadu Posted February 5, 2003 Report Posted February 5, 2003 The 8mb is additional memory to the existin 32mb? that means i have 40mb of storage mem when i get it right? Eran WRONG The SPV is only supplied with an 8Mb SD card. The original plan was to ship the SPV with a 32Mb SD card, but that was changed to keep the price down. This is why all the early reviews of the SPV state that it is supplied with a 32Mb SD card.

Guest HelloDave Posted February 5, 2003 Report Posted February 5, 2003 that means i have 40mb of storage mem when i get it right? Not really! The SPV has 32Mb of memory in total, but only some of that is available to the user; according to ALL-Explorer I have 13.7Mb total memory, 12Mb of which is reserved for programs leaving me with only 2Mb for storage ;) The capacity of the SD card is 6.5Mb when formatted, leaving you with a grand, out of the box, memory total of about 9Mb.
Guest casper508 Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 Opps :oops: sorry I forgot that in france you get a raw deal www.orange.co.uk/spv arent that generous anymore. They are charging the following: Horizontal Pouch - £14.99 Camera - £99.99 DC Connector Adaptor - £9.99 We got a good deal!! Cas
Guest Kal-el Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 Yeah, the price of everything went up today ;) Short-lived christmas spirit!
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 The original plan was to ship the SPV with a 32Mb SD card, but that was changed to keep the price down. This is why all the early reviews of the SPV state that it is supplied with a 32Mb SD card. Yep, that's what I read before I bought mine, too. Checked at the Orange shop when buying: Me: "How much storage has it got? Important, I'm switching from an SL45 and use the MP3 player a lot" Salesman: "There's 32MB available RAM in the phone and a 32MB SD-Card" Me: "Sounds good - you're sure?" Salesman: "Absolutely [his precise answer]" You can imagine how gutted I was when I got home, unpacked and discovered the truth :? Was tempted to go back and slap that salesman upside the head, but settled instead for a snotty mail to Customer service. As you do....
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 You could have probably blagged a free 32meg SD card if you'd gone back and moaned ;)
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 You could have probably blagged a free 32meg SD card if you'd gone back and moaned ;) yeah, I know. I'm just a lazy git with more money than sense :wink:
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 Heheh alright for some :)
Guest vampyre69 Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 Yeah lucky nice to see another SPV user though
Guest Emad Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 £100 for the camera?!?! Wtf?? And that £15 case better not the one that came with the original spv boxes.. Useless doesn't even begin to describe it..
Guest Lizard_King Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 I cant believe that! How they can charge 99 squid for the camera and, to make matters worse, £15 for the S&M ammo pouch is totally beyound me (it is the boxed one m8!) Really glad I got mine at launch to be honest though :)
Guest xanadu Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 Orange website still says the SPV includes a camera. http://shop.orange.co.uk/NASApp/esales/esales I think they just added the camera to the accessory page so people can buy another if they have lost theirs. Did anyone else notice, that Orange now quote 3 days battery standby for the SPV. I guess that means the UK software update must be coming very soon !!
Guest tony_spv_2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 did u know if u had screensaver set to the default which is total blank screen and u didnt use the phone, just had it on standby u can get 3days :) but thats just ridiculous.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 6, 2003 Report Posted February 6, 2003 I had it set to that, Set it to keep the screen on after the backlight is off and haven't noticed any loss in battery life. *shrugs*
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 Heheh alright for some :) Heh, aye - it's great being stupid :wink:
