Another review of Orange SPV M600 Pocket PC phone (HTC Prophet) published April 06, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. While HTC Magician (known also as Orange SPV M500) was very popular and constituted breakthrough for Pocket PC phones due to stylish design and small size, the HTC Prophet, here in Orange incarnation as M600 - is truly a honorable replacement for good old HTC Magician. 
The comm-manager, which is accessible easily by pressing what I call the "WiFi button" on the side (it's actually the "Comm-Manager button" of course), lets you easily turn communication devices on or off... The phone can be turned off or on (flight mode), bluetooth and WiFi - this will also detach from your Access Point automatically when you're not using the M600 to stop power drain. You can also tweak ActiveSync, Sounds and more. ... So you'd think "Hmm.. why has the new M600 got a slower processor? Well, it's not quite as cut and dry as that. Yes, the M600 has a 195Mhz processor, but it's also running the newer Windows Mobile 5.0 Operating System. That said, sometimes I feel that the newer OS needs even more power throwing at it in order to operate at the same speed as the Windows Mobile 2003 OS. The SPV M600 has a Texas Instruments OMAP 850 processor, which is a very capable processor. Sure, the 416MHz Intel Xscale will out-do it in tests but just think - if you were to slightly overclock the OMAP 850 CPU that's in the M600 to 240Mhz then you actually end up outperforming the SPV M500 processor.
