My French isn't very good, but I can enjoy the pictures regardless! From a design point-of-view I must say that the Orange SPV is a winner! I wonder, since Sweden is not in Orange land, if all Orange SPVs are SIM-locked. Anyone knows?

Wow. Really surprised at the size of the Samsung i600! HUGE! Almost as big as the Clie', and definetly thicker! Maybe the Motorola will be saved from an early grave after all. ;)

Orange always SIM Lock their phones.

I doubt the SPV will be any different. UK availablity is mid-January for the SPV.

I've got one on order so I guess my T68i is heading towards ebay!

<sigh> I don't know why I even bother to look...

The orange is a real thing of beauty, but as a U.S. based SprintPCS user, I'll never have one.

That being said it was nice to see the (super ugly but I'm going to have to buy it anyway) samsung phone compared to other devices in size.

Actually, I'm not sure it will be availabel for T-Mobile. The Orange phone is made for Orange service, and the Samsung phone is CDMA. The only real option I can think of right now is the Sendo and to the best of my knowledge T-Mobile has never done business with Sendo before.

But I could be wrong...

Go to Orange.co.uk and get a 360 movable image of the spv, it's also priced at 179 pounds which is about 260 dollars?

On "Microsoft Insider Live", they said Smart Phone 2002 would be available in the USA in March 2003, but they didn't say through which carrier.

This was interesting use of WMP 9 Series as well.
