The device will be called the 'SPV M2500'. If you've been looking for a Tri Band, 128MB RAM, 520MHz Intel Powered, QVGA (boo!), WiFi enabled, 1.3MP Camera-PDA, on Orange and don't want a keyboard... then maybe this is what you've been waiting for!"</i><br /><br />It's always good to see these kinds of units offered by more than one carrier. Choice is good. Switching mobile provider in order to get a certain device is such a pain. :?

I'd misread this at first, I thought it was referring to a next-gen model upgrade of the HTC Magician. Instead it's the model upgrade of the HTC Blue Angel, but now with only tri-band instead of Blue Angel's quad-band GSM? :?: I hope Alpine at least supports EDGE...

This is very exciting news! To my knowledge the XDA IIi and the older XDA II are the only PDA/cell phone combinations that have a CF card expansion pack, allowing them to have two slots: SD and CF.

Do any other US cell phone networks allow the use of this model?
