Guest Thurstan Posted May 22, 2003 Report Posted May 22, 2003 This from Orange: "SPV E100 (SPV re-package/re-model) to launch first week of July." Is this widely known already? What's the E100?
Guest Pagemakers Posted May 22, 2003 Report Posted May 22, 2003 Gees - and I went all the way to Prague to buy a Tanager.... However, just called Orange upgrades and they say "sometime towards the middle of this year"
Guest adam Posted May 22, 2003 Report Posted May 22, 2003 Well at least they're admitting it exists now!!
Guest mad4it Posted May 23, 2003 Report Posted May 23, 2003 Anyone any idea about the price? How would they charge much more than the current £30, the changes are only cosmetic...
Guest Pagemakers Posted May 23, 2003 Report Posted May 23, 2003 I have a Tanager and I for one would certainly pay much more than £30 to change from my SPV. The E100 is/will be a far better phone. Better screen, better buttons, faster, a much better overall experience to use. The only downside so far I would say is the battery life which is about 75-80% of the SPV, but that may because my phone is brand new and the battery needs a little educating.

I would agree with you, my Tanager's battery life took a few days to "settle down" and now it's every bit as good as my SPV.
Guest Pagemakers Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 This from Orange: "SPV E100 (SPV re-package/re-model) to launch first week of July." Thurstan, why don't you reply and let us all know where exactly you saw this..... Maybe you dreamt it!
Guest Hax Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I would agree with you, my Tanager's battery life took a few days to "settle down" and now it's every bit as good as my SPV. Or perhaps it's just that the novelty factor of a new phone has worn off a little by now :) Hax
Guest Thurstan Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 Sorry chaps I've been away for a few days. My company comes under the Orange umbrella and that excerpt comes from a weekly internal email detailing what handsets are expected to be available to the public and when. I wasn't sure if it was already known, so I let you guys know... :wink:
Guest chauhan_vijay Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Hey ppl I work for Orange and have had a play with the SPVx or SPV e100 about 4 months ago and it's basically the same as the current SPV but it has a new casing with the buttons spread out and a joystick like the T68i. In terms of software: There is a mini video making app Camera software like IA Album And a sound manager Big upset is that it does not have BLUETOOTH!!!! Thats it really Any comments?
Guest deiwise Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 How much bigger (if at all) is it from the current SPV? Will
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 The Tanager is made by the same people as the SPV, and is exactly the same hardware, save for the flatter keypad, joystick and better screen. Other than that they are exactly the same. The Tanager is a few milimetres longer than the SPV. Imho i'd wiat up for the soon to be released MiTAC Mio 8380 SmartPhone. 200mhz processor clamshell with built in camera :)
Guest deiwise Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Sounds a potential brick though no? Will google for more...
Guest adam Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Imho i'd wiat up for the soon to be released MiTAC Mio 8380 SmartPhone. 200mhz processor clamshell with built in camera Is there a drooling emoticon?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Mitac is far from a brick. About the same size as the Panasonic GD87 or NEC e606...
Guest deiwise Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Blimey, that looks one hell of an impressive phone. Would that be based on the current smartphone software or a new one? And I've really not heard of many other manufacturers releasing Smartphones this year; are there others that compete with this beast? Will
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Asustek had a dummy handset on display earlier this year, trhe Mitac is the only one that is likely to see production this year though (unless more information is released in the next few months). The Mitac will be running SP2002, but is plenty powerful enough to be upgraded to SP2003 (assuming your carrier releases an upgrade for it).
Guest chauhan_vijay Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 same size in length a little thinner in depth, although i think with the spreading of the keys the screen is a little smaller vijay
Guest midnight Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 nah, the screen is the same size in fact, think you'll find that they'll all be roughly the same surface area (and all are definitely the same resolution) also, as mono said, its a little longer in length
Guest deiwise Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 When's the actual release date? If there is one..
