HTC Universal Goes Orange - SPV M5000 Listed
"Today Orange UK have put the much-anticipated SPV M5000 online in their shop, plus we have a preview of said device (the M5000 is built as the HTC Universal) over here at Jason Langridge's Weblog. It's interesting to note some of his comments..."
My wallet is trembling now over this device, and with an announcement like this, it's only a matter of time before we see this thing opening up to a larger audience. It's going to be a long year or so until we see this thing hugely available and decently priced (At least a year is my estimate, since it's only in the past few months an i-Mate PDA2k has been easy to find / order / ship)

As much as I'd love to get one of these it's just way to big to replace a phone.

It's a bit of an embarassment of riches in the UK - four different versions of the Universal on four different networks... Total choice...!
Shouldn't take a year to get one elsewhere though - surely the Q-Tek 4040 will be available more widely and sooner than that?

Then feel sorry for me. We only got one operator out of four who will carry the universal here in Sweden and that's not mine :cry:

I really love this device, and I think I've said that a lot of times, but I think if I were to choose between this and a device with the form factor of a JAM, I'd go with the latter. True pocket-sized Pocket PC Phone Editions - there should be more of them out there.
But I'm still drooling over this one.

I'm torn - do I buy the Universal - or do I wait and see if the FSC 3G PPC is a better size/weight/feature set/ - or do I stick with the Pocket PC I have now and dearly love and stick to my two device guns...? Decisions, decisions (Oh screw it - I know full well I'll do all three - I'm a PPC whore I tell you...! 8O )

get over the weight, you carry this device in your pocket or on your belt, as a portable PC.
When you want to make a phonecall, you use your BT earpiece and voicecommands.
Why don't people understand that the future of computing lays in voice commands.

Torn...
My dilemma (a nice problem to have I admit) is which way to go after my current PDA2k: my choices are the HTC Universal and the smaller ipaq 6515 (built-in keyboard is a must for me). Choices, choices, choices. And although I too am a PPC whore as Duncan points out, I am a poor whore, so Is only one device for me !!!
