Anyone got an orange SPV phone?

[Rude Dog]

Just argued one out of Orange, Coz I dropped my Sony in a bucket of acid and amazingly it melted :wack:
Its got all the stuff I need on a phone and I did some research before I went for the jugular with em :D but anyone here got one and use it for net access. Can I get onto the SXOC with one? If I can you'll never be rid of me :p
As earlier personal experience is always better than a review :thumbs:
Cheers

Me boss has got one, you could go on the sxoc with it but you might need a power cable running to it permanently as they are power hungry...

Dont leave bluetooth on if you want to use the phone for any length of time...

Additional battery may be in order then too.
Cheers Jim

yeh i've got one,

just tried for ya and it says page not found, the nets pretty slow on the phone, fiddly too.

also:
when deleting text messages u have to delete them individually, so u end up with 100 texts in ur inbox and out box that u have to manually go through and delete.

Mines been buggy from time to time, sometimes i dont get a alert tone when i get a text message.

Good side is u have wack on ur wav files for ringtones instead of paying for them, and you can put jpegs as wallpaper.

Other than that I would check out other phones for the net, being powered by windows, it freezes from time to time. Saying that msn messenger was really handy at times, though now it asks for an upgrade, havent looked into how to do this.

just remembered they've brought out a new spv phone, maybe all the bugs above have been sorted out, but maybe not

Thats weird as my ipaq seems to load it up fine and the spv has similar functionality... :confused:

I can surf the SXOC on my Orange SPV E200 with no problems, the page loads fairly quick, but navigation is a pain in the arse. I decided that if I was surfing the SXOC on my phone, I really needed to get a life :rolleyes: Well, actually Hayley pointed that out to me :D

Have you got the E100 or the E200? You can find the update here:

The E200 has had the bugs ironed out :thumbs:
