  Gizmodo : Orange SPV C500 First Impressions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Orange has recently released a new SmartPhone in the UK, France and Netherlands dubbed the SPV C500.
It is the fourth handset in their “signature” phone series in that it carries their brand, although the phone is actually manufactured in Taiwan by HTC.
The one (minor) gripe I have had is that the button placement could be somewhat awkward for those with large fingers or thumbs, although I doubt such a person would opt for a phone as small as the C500 in the first place.

 Orange SPV C500 Smartphone Review [PocketMatrix >> mobile devices]
The GSM radio on the Orange C500 is tri-band (900, 1800, 1900 MHz) and therefore will not work on the expanded 850 MHz GSM networks in North America.
However, the Orange C500 is still considered a world phone since 1900 MHz networks are still common in North America.
Orange has managed to fix some of the problems with the T9 that it had with previous models.

 ActiveWin: Orange SPV C500 - Smartphone - Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Orange C500 Windows Powered smartphone is my 2nd Microsoft based phone I have had from Orange, the first one I started off with was the rather large in size E200 model shown below left.
Orange have told me that a dock will get released in the future though, although there will be an added charge for it.
There is one final change though, a faster OMAP 200MHz processor, this means programs run faster, load faster and the phone is generally nippier at everything it does, which is a godsend after some of the slowness the E200 showed when I got one.

 Orange SPV C500 (MobileBurn)
Orange is claiming the C500 is the world's smallest smartphone measuring 108mm x 46mm x 16mm and weighing in at only 100g.
Orange is really blurring the lines between operator and handset maker with some of the customizations they are making to their "Signature" phones.
Orange plans to release the C500 to 7 countries this Summer: the UK, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, and Slovakia.

 Orange unwraps SPV C500 smartphone - infoSync World
Claiming the C500 to be the world's smallest smartphone, the pan-European mobile network operator introduced the handset as part of its new line-up of Orange Signature phones, which all offer quick access to operator services.
The SPV C500 weighs in at a mere 100 grams and measures a compact 10.8 x 4.6 x 1.
According to Orange, the C500 is to be launched in seven European countries - the UK, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, and Slovakia - starting this summer.

The C500 is powered by an ARM OMAP 730 200 MHz processor, and although the published specifications claim 64 MB RAM, it actually shows about 28 MB of flash storage, plus 23 MB of memory for storage and program execution.
The C500 is the first SPV that can be treated like a phone - which means it doesn't have to be charged every day.
The Orange SPV C500 is available in Europe on the Orange network, as of Q3 2004, and sells exclusively with contract.

Orange's SPV C500 handset slims down the mobile operator's own-brand Windows smartphone range into a model closer in size and weight to a standard phone.
Orange also ships a sample application with the phone that lets workers view Office documents on its screen.
The SPV C500 cuts a Windows smartphone down to the size of a standard handset, but without compromising on functions.

 MoDaCo -> Paul's C500 Review - Updated 12/08 23:45
The C500 features the same amount of memory as the E200, but sports a new generation OMAP 200MHz processor, as opposed to the '132' MHz processor found in the E200.
Orange are currently working on a fix that I am hoping will be available soon, but in the interim, the gaming situation on the C500 is quite desperate.
Orange claim that a lot of work has been carried out on improving the Bluetooth Implementation, and although there are no visible software changes, tests I have carried out so far seem to indicate range and battery consumption are both improved on the C500.

Orange's various SPVs have been getting better all the time in terms of hardware and features, but the lack of memory, less-than-great battery life and somewhat clunky hardware have not really drawn us.
The SPV C500 is Orange's fourth attempt at the product line, and it's a big improvement pretty much all round.
Orange's Signature Phone applications are here too, including their backup and Orange World Internet-based services.

 Orange SPV C500 Full Review at ZDNet UK Reviews
Orange has had trouble here in the past, but we think the SPV C500 offers the best array of control buttons yet.
Orange has replaced the Windows Mobile Home Screen with one of its own, which ranges the six most frequently used applications on a strip down the left-hand edge.
The SPV C500 has Bluetooth wireless connectivity built in, and we successfully paired the device with a Bluetooth headset and a Bluetooth GPS receiver during the test period.

At least, that was the case until Orange launched it's latest SPV, the C500.
When the C500 was launched I got myself down to the local Orange shop where the C500 is available free as charge if you sign up for the right contract.
Because the C500 is a smartphone it is absolutely jam packed with features and applications, it's more like a pocket PC than a mobile phone.

 Orange SPV C500 Smartphone Reviewed - Mobile News - Designtechnica
The SPV C500 is France Telecom-owned mobile operator Orange's flagship Windows Mobile 2003 SE-based smartphone.
The SPV C500 is around one-third smaller than its predecessor, the SPV E200, and is one of the smallest devices that allows you to connect to the Internet, check your e-mail and synchronise or transfer data to compatible PCs using ActiveSync 3.7.1, infrared or Bluetooth.
Most noticeable is the low-resolution digital camera, there's just 28MB of user-accessible memory, the rocker control system for navigating menus is awkward to use, and there's no built-in FM tuner.

Just like the Orange c500 the actual ROM on the SDA faces the same issue with the so called light sensor that usually should enable keypad backlight as soon as you move your fingers on the keypad.
While nobody really knows why the manufacturer of the Orange c500 (HTC) did move to the navigation pad instead of the joystick the SDA comes with a very easy and perfectly working joystick.
The ROM of the SDA is very similar to the Orange c500.
