More on the Orange SPV C500Having had last night to get to grips with my new
Orange SPV C500 Smartphone, I must say that on the whole I am pretty impressed. The screen is big and clear, the system is quite easy to navigate around the menus (once you get used to it!), the camera quality is satisfactory (ok, its not a megapixel camera, but I've got a digital camera anyway) and the sound is good (polyphonics suck when you can use wavs and wma files!)
I've also been experimenting with writing applications for the phone, using the built-in
.Net Compact Framework and the
Smartphone 2003 SDK. I initially just wanted to test the development and deployment tools, so the old standard
Hello World program got another airing, but I'm quite pleased by the results :-

I hope to do something a bit more complex when I get some time.....
