Yet more information about Orange SPV C550 available
June 05, 2005 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.

Information about Orange SPV C550 is already placed in a printed leaflets of Orange UK, more details has been revealed and it is slated for release yet this month!



Is this phone worth buying? NO! Contrary to some websites authored by Microsoft MVPs, thus not totally independent from Microsoft, we give you here impartial advice: it's nice phone, but it's not worth buying. Why? Read on...

Here you can see a snapshot from a June magazine of Orange UK, where Orange SPV C550 is vividly present! More information about this phone is available here - including bigger photo and more details. We have been reporting about Orange SPV C550 - for example here.

Highlights about Orange SPV C550:
  • QVGA display - 240x320 pixels
  • 1.3 megapixel camera
  • media playback buttons (like in T-Mobile SDA Music)
  • built-in Bluetooth
  • powered by Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
Why Orange SPV C550 is not worth buying? Because it is powered by an oudated operating system - Windows Mobile 2003, instead of contemporary Windows Mobile 5.0 and there will be no upgrade path available.

It looks like T-Mobile has pulled out its own version of C550 - called "T-Mobile SDA II Music" from their website:



... so maybe T-Mobile is not going to put up with an outdated operating system in a new model of the phone, while Orange is less sensitive to this problem. The bottom line is: Orange SPV C550 is not worth buying due to outdated software, that powers it.
