The extra memory isn't all that impressive either. The only reason it has the extra memory is so it can adequately support the chinese language / text

looks identical to the SPV!!! :roll:

That is because it is the same HTC canary model that was used for the SPV, with a bit more memory :)

Nothing special. Just an SPV running WM SP2k3, no improved hardware specs. Still, i wouldn't say no to have a play with the next gen OS.

[Guest lazyjarl]

Agree. The hardware spec is not as good as MITAC MIO 8380. Moreover, it doesn't have a built-in camara. BTW, I haven't found any text saying it supports bluetooth, so I would assume it doesn't.

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

It won't. Not unless they seriously fiddled the insides. There is no BT in the SPV version of the Canary, and i very much doubt there will be in the Dopod Canary.

[Guest kyrkesmith]

Why did they choose the Canary design rather than the Tanger? Also, is it not the case that Orange have exclusive rights to the Canary design, or has that expired now?

[Guest Crispy]

Then the interesting question arises: Are there any english Dopod updates out there? And will they work on a Standard Canary/Tanager?

Edit: I case you were wondering, no, there are no updates on their website!

[Guest TheCardinal]

i would love to have a play on this phone the OS side is what im waiting for. Compact Framework! So we could create more FREEBIES! :)

They're probably Orange's modified leftovers.
