Default The Orange SPV M3000?

http://www.smartphonefrance.com/actu.asp?ID=2971



So the buzz at Smartphone France is the imminent arrival of the Orange SPV M3000 - an Orange-branded HTC Wizard, which we've reported on many times before. The specs? 108mm x 58mm x 23mm, with a 4-hour talk time and 7-day standby time. Included is a 65K QVGA screen, 1.3MP camera, Wi-Fi, GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, and a slide-out landscape keyboard. Based on earlier reports, the quad-band device features a TI OMAP 850 processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, and a miniSD slot. Time will tell what the actual specifications are, but back to the release date of the SPV M3000. It's been claimed that the device will surface in September.

Translation: French to English

Is it just me, or does the keyboard slide out of the wrong side? When using the keyboard, shouldn't the joypad be for the left thumb?

Ouch! Seven hour standby?! Sorry, but it doesn't matter what it does, if it won't last through a normal business day without a charge then what good is it?

You're right. It doesn't make sense. Something like 4-hour talk and 7-hour PDA would make more sense...

Default Orange

I know some French. It actually said 4 hours talk time and 7 DAYS on standby.
Now it makes more sense.

Yeah, my bad. I whipped up that post a little quickly and seemed to have overlooked that small typo.

I dunno. It has everything i need and it is REALLY small. If this TI processor can hold up in benchmarks i might actually consider one of these as apposed to the universal. I would loose vga and i'm sure a little processing power but I could probably live with that for the huge decrese in size.

Dunno. I'll have to see reviews, benchmakrs, and final specs on both before making a choice.

But i have this bad feeling that the TI isn't gonna cut it.
