Looks like our friends at MoDaCo beat us to the post with this one but the Orange version of the HTC Excalibur, the Orange SPV E600, has just appeared on the Orange Business Site.
At the moment the E600 is only available to business customers but I suspect that it wont be long before it’s available to all.
Benefit from the svelte and compact design, with a full QWERTY keyboard and a large screen, composing emails and viewing attachments is almost as easy as if you were in the office. And when you’re out of the country, even continent, thanks to quad band technology it’s not problem – so that’s one less thing to worry about.
One thing I did notice is that the blurb (see above) says the E600 is quad-band yet the details specification, also on the Orange site, clearly states tri-band. Maybe Orange isn’t sure!?
I’ve been using an HTC S620 (basically the same device) for some time now and it’s one of my favourite devices and definitely my favourite smartphone. It will be interesting to see what the Orange customisation does to the SPV E600. Get your sugar cubes ready!

Oh and the SPV E600 is quad-band by the way!

Nikon announces the arrival of the D40x, its smallest camera to date that packs a punch with a host of innovative features. Featuring a 10.2 megapixel CCD the D40x is loaded with everything a photographer needs, despite its miniature size. Within the stylish and compact casing of the D40x, Nikon has packed in a number of exciting features to ensure that the user is able to achieve optimum results.
With 10.2 megapixels image quality is excellent and the D40x comes with Nikon’s exclusive 3D Colour Matrix Metering II and auto white balance which enables the user to produce quality shots that capture the vivid detail and true colour of the subject matter.
The D40x is equipped with a compact lightweight 55-200mm Zoom-Nikkor telephoto lens. This lens – the R708 – is fitted with an ED glass element, making it easier to achieve images with higher resolution and high contrast. The Silent Wave Motor offers quiet and smooth autofocussing.
For those taking pictures in a hurry the D40x is fast, despite its petite design. It has near instant power-up (0.18 seconds) whilst a continuous shooting mode enables the keen photographer to capture 100jpegs of images as fast as three frames per second. And with autofocus built-in even shots taken in a hurry are crisp and clear. Nikon’s innovative i-TTL flash control evaluates ideal flash exposure so the image light is always correct, whatever the conditions.
An ample 2.5-inch LCD screen means the budding photographer can view, manipulate and navigate their images at ease. Unique Nikon innovations make it possible to manipulate the images in-camera, enabling amateurs to achieve results that a professional would be pleased with. Nikon’s unique D-Lighting function improves underexposed images or shots taken with too much back light by creating a copy of an image with added light and detail wherever necessary, leaving well-exposed areas untouched. Photographers can even fix red eye at the touch of a button or use the D40x’d monochrome effect to make an image black and white. Nikon’s exclusive PictureProject software also makes it easy to edit, organise, transfer and share the high quality images.
For the creative photographer the fast and simple vari-program modes (the D40x has eight of them) also enable the enthusiast to be adapt the photographs at will, with the flick of a rotating mode dial.
The Q560 is world’s lightest D-SLR with interchangeable lens using 10-effective-megapixel-class APS-C size CCD, without battery, memory card or body cap, as of March 6th, according to Nikon a survey.

We know that a lot of you have been following the progress of the XDA Zinc eagerly awaiting its launch here in the UK which is said to be later this month. Well to give you a quick Zinc fix the people over at Kaitech.hk have a review of the device for your reading pleasure.
Just before you head off to the review I should warn you that it’s not all rosy and that the device appears to be somewhat buggy:
