Microsoft Orange SPV Phone Review

Ian Bell writes "HowardChui.com just posted a review on Microsoft's new Orange SPV which is the first commercially available Smartphone. The SPV stands for Sound, Pictures, Video and you can download games like Doom or listen to MP3s on the speaker or even chat to your friends using the built-in MSN Messenger. But for all that the SPV features, there is no Bluetooth support. It still looks like a killer phone and I like that it is smaller than the PocketPC phones currently on the market."

Poor Audio? What's the point then?

Guy says in the review that the audio isn't that great, thus flushing the functionality of mp3 playing and making its usefulness as a cell phone kinda crappy.

That's a shame too because it looks like an nice phone and has some decent feature.

I think you've actually got a point.

First Microsoft went for the OS market
Next came the browser wars
This was followed by the battle of the servers and PDAs.
Soon afterward came the battle for the gaming console.
Now, I believe smart watches and smart cellphones.

I'm havin trouble thinkin' of anything in my life Microsoft hasn't tried to take over. (All of which they've lost so far. I use Linux, Mozilla, No Server or PDA, Nintendo 64, Casio Watch and Motorola Cellphone)

I don't cherish the thought of having one all-seeing, all-knowing presence touching every part of my daily life.

Course maybe privacy is a wee-bit old fashioned.
