Two Pints of Lager and... a tiny smartphone - hardware review of Orange SPV C500 Microsoft Smartphone August 19, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Here is another review of the Orange SPV C500 - including several photos and screen shots. To get better conviction, whether this phone is for you or not, reading this review may help.... 
While sound of phone calls in Orange SPV E200 was a bit murky at times, the Orange SPV C500 doesn't have these problems: The sound quality is excellent on this handset. Calls are crisp and clear, plus ringtones can be heard in the noisiest environments. Polyphonic / monophonic ringtones sound really different and more melodic on this handset. Having the volume on “Loud” with this headset is incredible – the sound comes booming out like a fog horn. There’s no way you’re ever going to miss a call when this thing goes off. [...] Bluetooth This has improved a great deal and is a bit more user-friendly. It’s easier to bond devices and working with Bluetooth headsets is a breeze. You can set devices as “hands free” and there’s a newly designed icon that pops up when you use it. It detects when you’re close to your Bluetooth headset too by showing this headset icon. Sometimes this takes a minute to come up when you're in range, although if you ARE in range and it still isn't showing the headset symbol when you get a call, it WILL shove it through the headset (and then show the symbol). This slight delay is, I presume, due to either battery saving or the "search" cycle on either the phone or the headset being a bit slow. To read the review click here.
