Press review: C500 - possibly the best smartphone - says British press December 02, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. British broadsheet newspaper claims allocates Orange SPV C500 as number 2 in the "Top 10 mobiles" list and says that it is "possibly the best smartphone"! Not just Microsoft smartphone, but generally, across all platforms: the best smartphone!
While the Nokia-backed Symbian platform had a huge lead in the smartphone market, Microsoft and its Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone platform are catching up. In the SPV C500, available exclusively through Orange, Microsoft boasted possibly the best smartphone. The handset's manufacturers, Taiwanese company HTC, had pulled off what seemed impossible, delivering a small-ish pocket-friendly handset that wasn't only packed with facilities, but was incredibly intuitive and had excellent battery life. For non-Orange customers, it is available in the guise of the i-Mate SP3 from retailers such as Expansys ( www.expansys.co.uk ). Another excellent Windows-based smartphone is the Sagem MY S7, which has similar facilities to the C500 in a slightly larger and bulkier frame.
