Orange SPV M2000 Review

Orange SPV M2000
Originally uploaded by Yellow Park.

We have started testing the Orange SPV M2000 phone out and it is simply stunning. We are increasingly getting asked for advice regarding the type of mobile/cell phone to use to check email etc. Well folkes, this is more like a laptop on the move, with a whole host of programmes and accessories, making connectivity a sinch. You can connect to wireless, GPRS, bluetooth and Infra Red networks.

There are no limitations on installing programmes, and there's plenty of programmes around. e.g. Skype, MSN Messenger, Antivirus, Command Prompt. Checkout the Windows Mobile Application Catalog for a list of approved applications. We have been using the Terminal Services client to connect to our servers over wireless and are very impressed with the results. With GPRS it is initially slower, but the "thin client" philosophy of terminal services means its still pretty darn good.

The Operating System is Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition which has the feel of Windows XP mixed with Windows 3.11.

Check out the orange website for more details. They don't cost much either. Makes you wonder what will hapen to the Ipaq.
