Another review of HTC Hermes - in Orange incarnation August 22, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Here comes nice and detailed review of Orange SPV M3100 Pocket PC phone. Since this phone - HTC Hermes - is now available from various operators and it has HSDPA, but Orange offers no HSDPA, clearly the better place to purchase this phone would be Vodafone and T-Mobile, that both offer HSDPA ! After all why would you like to buy a Porsche car if you would be allowed to drive only 10 miles per hour with it? One thing I will mention is that during my testing I made a video call to a phone that is making a big name for itself at the moment, the Sony Ericsson K800i. With a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera it takes a very nice photograph, however the video calling seemed to show that the video feed from the M3100 that was displayed on the K800i was clearer where as the feed received on the M3100 from the K800i was rather pixelated. It’s quite possible that this was related to signal quality but that raises another point as the call took place between two phones in the same room so perhaps the M3100 displays stronger signal strength than the K800i? I've had no problems in this area and would normally only raise signal strength if it became evident that there was a problem, it’s an interesting point though. HSDPA technology is present on the M3100, it seems that Orange don’t currently support this though. Essentially it is a faster data transfer mechanism for mobile web browsing etc that makes use of UMTS networks to offer speeds of up to 1.8 megabit/sec.
