What have I got ? what can it do ?

[SPV_M600]

Howdy guys :)

I have just purchased a Orange SPV M600 Smartphone.

I hope this is right section for these kinda questions ?

Anyway I had a XDA IIs before and wanted to ask a few easy Q's please :)

Q1. Is msn messenger available for this with it being on 5.0 operating system?
Q2. How does it compare to the XDA IIs ?
Q3. Can I add apps like I could with my old XDA ? is it basically the same ?

Many thanks guys in advance.

Matt :)

Congrats on your new phone.

1. The messenger is built in just like in the old system.
2. Not really sure on this one since I never had one of those, but if you are switching from a WM 2003 to WM 5 device it will appear sluggish (because it is) until you get used to it.
3. Anything you could do with your old device you can do with this one and possibly more. One good thing about WM 5 is that no matter how long you leave it without battery charge the only thing you will loose is your date and time settings. Once you recharge it, it comes back just as it was.
Also there is some improvement in built in apps (word, excel) and push mail (if you have an exchange account somewhere).

Basically, although orange call it a "smartphone" it is a PPC by definition (touch screen and all) and is just like you old device but with newer OS and storage memory that does not require battery power.
