Another review of HTC Hermes Pocket PC phone: Orange SPV M3100 August 12, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Here comes yet another review of the most sophisticated Windows Mobile phone, this time in Orange incarnation... 
The M3100 is the first device from HTC to feature the Samsung S3C2442, a departure from the Intel XScale processors used in the past (in devices such as the Universal) and TI OMAP processors (used in a ton of devices, including the Wizard). The power / performance tradeoff is a never ending battle - some argue that the TI OMAP processor tipped the scale too far in favour of low power consumption at the expense of performance... the upgrade to the Samsung processor looks to address such criticisms. As you can see from the above specs, the M3100 features microSD. Gone is the full size SD found on the Prophet, gone is the miniSD found on the Wizard, and along comes yet another memory card format for you to invest in Available at time of writing in capacities of up to 2GB, microSD cards really are tiny, about the size of your fingernail, and as well as being physically smaller, they use less power than their predecessors. The M3100 packs a veritable feast of supported technologies / bands! As well as quad band GSM and tri band UMTS support, the M3100 serves up GPRS, EDGE AND HSDPA for all your data consumption needs. Although the status of Orange's HSDPA network is somewhat unclear, the fact that you are ready to use it should they (likely) roll it out is a definite plus.
