Rumored New Orange Smartphone: SPV C550
CoolSmartphone.com has the scoop on what appears to be a new Smartphone from Orange. It's called the Orange SPV C550 and early information indicates that it has a 1.3 megapixel camera, 240x320 262k TFT colour screen, 64MB memory, miniSD, Bluetooth, Video MMS for download and playback, and Java 2.0. If all this turns out to be true, this could be a really sweet phone. It looks to have the body from the C500, but the buttons and music features from the SDA Music. (Both the SDA Music and C500 can be seen together here.)

Needs EDGE
Sounds nice, but an essential upgrade, at least for the USA, would be to have it EDGE enabled. I don't really any significant changes from the SMT 5600 other than the camera upgrade. Pleae correct me if I am wrong. But I still think this could be a killer phone with EDGE.

I love that screen res - now if only Cingular would adopt it, I'd switch from T-mo in a heartbeat.. but alas, it will be months (if ever) before any of us (that means US) will see it - sigh...
I have to agree on the EDGE comment, but at this time I would be tickled pink if the US carriers would just get more aggressive in their offering of COOL PHONES.

Granted, EDGE would be would make it a perfect phone...but I's still love to get my hands on that phone.
Is it an HTC phone?

Pretty pathetic that US carriers probably won't have this phone. Maybe because Verizon and Cingular can't strip enough features out of it so we can use their lame picture sharing garbage toys junk trash that they can charge us for!

You cant blame the carriers.....there just simply is no market for a "candy bar smartphone". They are going with whats hot right now....flip phones and sliders.
