Review of Orange SPV M700 published September 29, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. If you would like to have HSDPA but you don't care about QWERTY keyboard, then Orange SPV M700 Pocket PC phone is for you! It is Orange's incarnation of HTC Trinity, that will be available also from other operators (under various names) and from HTC itself (as HTC P3600). By the way: amazing piece of information is being revealed in this review: apparently not only HTC Artemis but also HTC Trinity has built-in GPS... although still it is unconfirmed and just a rumor. According to author of this review Orange will offer GPS also in HTC Trinity (otherwise known not to have built-in GPS), not just in HTC Trinity: Orange France is about to introduce two new "HTC" PDA Phones to be bundled with their new version of "off-board" navigation software called Orange Navigation 7. In mid November, Orange will sell the SPV M700 - that is based on the already known HTC Trinity - and the HTC Artemis (SPV name unkown). Just a note about the HTC Trinity. It will be sold without GPS chipset activated (software de-activaton only) but Orange will include it in early 2007. So, HTC Trinity and HTC artemis are two GPS Windows Mobile PDA Phones... To read the review (or rather photo preview) click here. It's in French but real photos of Orange SPV M700 are worth seeing. Commentary: the information, that HTC Trinity (as sold by Orange as M700) will have (has?) built-in GPS chipset, that is however at first de-activated, is very interesting, because Nokia N95 smartphone with built-in both HSDPA and GPS is coming out in January 2007. If this rumor will appear to be false however then Nokia would achieve technological superiority because by now no Windows Mobile phone supports both HSDPA (fast UMTS) and built-in GPS - both in one device!
