Hi, I´m looking for a replacement for my SPV classic - I found the E200 and were about to buy it, however after following a link I found the Xphone which seems to be a even newer model, but looking at specs it seems to be the excatly same phone but the Xphone do however seemed to be priced a bit higher.

Can someone confirm that I´m on the wrong track here and the newest smartphone is infact E200 / 8080 / Xphone (the same phone)?

Regards

SpvE200 is a good phone. If you liked the 1st spv then you should love it! Anything with smartphone 03 o/s will have generally the same features. Only major difference is design, weight and battery life. See if you can test them all.

I had the SPV and now have the E200, and have also upgraded the phones software, which improves the battrey life(still needs to be charged daily !) and bluetooth functionality. The cam on it is good and seems to be up there with most cam phones.

The SPV likes to freeze alot. Plus it can record, but not send or save video clips. Well on our network anyway.

There is a new SPV C500 coming out. Why not wait to see the specs for that. I think it's very similar to the E200. [addsig]

My E200 never locks or freezes, and i do have alot off apps on it. As for sending video, here in the uk only 3 offers the option to send video at the mo. My main complaint is the battery life which has improved a bit with the rom update, but the phone still needs a charge every day.
