Guest Firaas Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Listening to the Orange press release now, here's one of the slides... And, as RichieM says, the orange shade is orange because "the future's bright, the future's orange"... http://www.orange.com/English/corporate/pr...tion.asp?bhcp=1phones.jpg
Guest mattbrown Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 interesting - a spv e100 and a spv2?? - the difference???
Guest Firaas Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 interesting - a spv e100 and a spv2?? - the difference??? I reckon SPV2 will be a Mitac, and if its delayed into Nov/Dec then perhaps running Smartphone 2003...
Guest smartphone-web.com Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 There are also rumors about a SPV2 - Tanager Style but with integrated camera and bluetooth.
Guest Firaas Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 I'm also wondering what the "smart phone" is. The conference is still on slide 35ish, and that page was from slide 70, so it's a long way away from talking about it. Notice how it has no aerial! It seems like Samsung/Motorola...
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Hmm, perhaps no need to upgrade to the Tanager in any hurry then. I'd happily keep my SPV until the end of the year and then go to the SPV 2... BTW, does anyone forsee any s/w upgrade problems going from SmartPhone OS 2002 to 2003? I'd hate to think I had to start again on the s/w front... I'm assuming the answer is that it should be no problem, but hey - worth a thought.
Guest midnight Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 spv 2 is rumoured to be a HTC device running Smartphone2003 (well, SP.next), and will feature integrated camera
Guest spacemonkey Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 All SPV software SHOULD work straight off on smartphone 2003. This is one of the major design decisions that microsoft has made so that Smartphone software should work on all devices for all versions of smartphone with 0 modifications. Smartphone 2003 won't necessarily show a huge difference to the user, but it includes a large amount of restructuring that will allow developers to produce a lot better (and easier) stuff for the users to play with.
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Been listenng to the Web cast for a while... Te he, someone just asked Orange about the oustanding Sendo lawsuit in the Q&A session... They didn't give much of an answer tho.
Guest Firaas Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Te he, someone just asked Orange about the oustanding Sendo lawsuit in the Q&A session... Â They didn't give much of an answer tho. Heh, yeah. Listening on speakerphone via telephone - had a few questions lined up regarding SPV, but the operator said they won't be taking questions from telephone listeners :lol:
Guest Richie M Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 and can someone tell me what is "Open OS"?
Guest smartphone-web.com Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 And what is the Phone next to the SPV2? The Asus?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 They spent a lot of time bigging up Motorola really, didn't they? :lol:
Guest Firaas Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 They spent a lot of time bigging up Motorola really, didn't they? :lol: Yeah good point. For the benefit of those who weren't watching, only two external companies were speaking at the conference. Motorola's Chairman and CEO, Chris Galvin was there and spoke for a couple of minutes about Orange's "simple and intuitive" interface. He also was thanked a lot, and thanked Orange a lot for the "unique relationship" which they had formed. Some special guy from Microsoft was also there, and didn't really mention the SPV, but did, again, thank Orange quite a bit...
Guest ClintEastman Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 The SP build of PPC2004 (Magneto) is the OS to look forward to....
Guest midnight Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 motorola have 15 new phones coming out this year, so it aint surprising really, and, thay are doing a lot of work with microsoft on pocketpc phone edition, and are working on new processors and reference designs, who knows, maybe a motorola windows mobile i the pipeline (hopefully smartphone aswell as pocketpc)
Guest ant_thomas Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 What I'm looking for is an aerial free clamshell phone with a built in camera, which isn't around yet as far as I know. But the built in camera is a must. I have the SPV and the camera attatchment is good but after using my brothers Sharp on Vodaphone the clamshell design with camera is the best way I think. Much neater and much more professional.

But the built in camera is a must. I have the SPV and the camera attatchment is good but after using my brothers Sharp on Vodaphone the clamshell design with camera is the best way I think. Much neater and much more professional. The two main options are the Mitac 8380 and the "smart phone" as in the picture, but I have no idea of what exactly it is...
Guest ant_thomas Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Yeah I like the look of the Mitac, even though it is a little large, but I definitely want a built in camera. The thing is I always wanted Nokia phones but like clamshells more but the Nokia thing was more important, until I got my SPV, now I won't buy a new phone unless it is SP2002/3, but now there is a clamshell design out in the Mitac or at least coming soon I would really want that because it is sort of ideal.
Guest midnight Posted July 4, 2003 Report Posted July 4, 2003 oh my god, cant beleive i missed this....... well, we all know the slight mistakes on this roadmap (piccie of the 'smart phone' has been reversed), but has anyone noticed how the nokia 6600 suddenly seems to be running the ms smartphone os hehehe, cmon orange, get yer act together :)
Guest midnight Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 hehe, wonder what nokia would say bout that pic :)
