Another question for BJAMBEAN or anyone who can help.
On the SPV can you store a persons contact details and set a default number like you can on a T68.
e.g Home no.
Mobile no.
Work no.
E-Mail address
THANKS |

to Ian yep it is definately possible I came across it in the manual.
The SPV will set the persons work number as default (this is a business phone!) unless you set otherwise |

Problems / Bugs:
Some Pocket PC themes don’t work correctly and I don’t mean the animated ones, I.e. some of them will cause the alert screens to be one colour, making it impossible to read the alert. To test this press the volume key once you put a new profile on – it tends to be the darker colours that don’t work too well.
Media player is missing loads of blinding obvious functions that it should have i.e. PAUSE! For instance or even a forward and rewind button, what about the ability to turn the back light on and leave it on while watching a film / video clip!
Ps I've got the new Vin Diesel flick, knockaround Guys on my phone at the mo |

I've got a feeling that I'm gonna send this phone back.
I can't handle a phone which must have a daily charge - If i were to forget to charge this phone it would die on me throughout the course of the next day, definately!!!
The manual also states that if the phone dies there is a possibility of data loss! not too good
I just have to say that Orange had the chance of having a winner on their hands and if they had left the microsoft certification system in place I may have put up with the poor battery life but I can't honestly see a company like orange pulling their finger out certifying loads of software
Maybe I'm wrong guys but as of Friday I'm be back in the t68 threads!
If time proves me wrong I may come back to the SPV but at the moment it's lackings out weigh the new features that it brings to the mobile communications market, if so I will come back with my tail between my legs with a brand spanking new spv with no bugs, a lightening fast OS and the ability to run any pocket pc app |

I thought it's got a windows media player in it.
If nobody wants it.. put it on eBay. |

i still can live with all those... but then again those problems listed are highly unusual.... that simon guy is full of it... the biggest issue at this point is the certification for all the apps to be developed, thats really stupid, but than again i can live with that....
my main issue is how to get my locked SPV (soon to arrive) unlocked....

@boyi
It does have media player but the browser is unable to cope with frames. If you had the direct link to the stream it would work
@decoy7
definately developer hostile, how can orange expect people to pay them to develope for their platform when it's completely free to develop for the pocket pc platform, which is pretty much the same thing
@MDS
I have decded to send mine back, mate. It's too slow and there are so many simple bugs and mistakes on the phone - it's the kind of errors that a phone company would never make (well at least not any more) this phone has it written all over it that it's not made by a well established phone manufacturer.
So I'm gonna send it back and if they sort it out then maybe I'll try it out again.
but on the fact of the phone being slow, I can play an mp3 or something and then go and do something else and the mp3 will skip while the phone thinks about me browsing through the calender or phone book.
Other bugs like the phone not recognising numbers on sms's is another example of their inexperience with phones.
tell me what you think when you get it |

I think your being a little to critical, yes the phone is slow at times but no slower than the T68. The battery life isn't that good but you have to remember its powering an aweful lot of phone. The menu operations are a breath of fresh air, clear and easy (once you get used to it) it knocks spots off the people's favorite the T68 and makes it feel very dated. The keypad is awkward and the on/off switch doesn't always work, but IMH these are minor faults which I can live with so over all I think its an excellent phone. Its a brand new phone and im sure within a few months we'll have a updated OS which BTW can be downloaded to the phone. With features like MSN, full web browsing (doesn't like frames, I'm sure a fix is on the way) and VERY easy email use/setup. One other niggly fault the alarm clock doesn't work with the phone off.
