Orange SPV M700 shipping this week?

We have been speculating about the release date of the Orange SPV M700 for quite some time and the device has been listed in more than one edition of the Orange retail catalogue.

Orange SPV M700

As Gears at CoolSmartPhone correctly points out, the SPV M700 is indeed listed in the February edition of the Orange retail catalogue as ‘available now’. After a few emails and phone calls we have been told by a source close to Orange that the M700 will begin shipping this week. We have been given mixed information about the built in GPS. It’s not mentioned on the Orange Spec but is said to be included. The HTC Trinity does have GPS hardware so it may be possible to activate the GPS on the M700 if necessary.

    HTC S310 Coming to Orange UK

    OK something strange is happening at Orange UK. We already know that Orange’s own version of the HTC Oxygen, the Orange SPV C100, has been available from Orange in other countries but it has been widely accepted that the device would never see a UK launch.

    Orange HTC S310

    So here is where things get weird. If you take a look at the February edition of the Orange retail catalogue you’ll find the HTC S310 listed as a device coming soon. Orange have never released an HTC device before and have always rebadged and rebranded the devices using their own SPV name.

    So is this a one-off or can we expect more devices from the HTC commercial arm coming to Orange? An HTC S620 would be nice!

    Orange HTC S310 Specification:

  • Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition AKU 2.3
  • Tri-Band GPRS/EDGE
  • TI OMAP850 201Mhz
  • 64MB ROM
  • 64MB RAM
  • 2″ 176 x 220 TFT with 65536 colours
  • Bluetooth 1.2
  • 1.3mp camera
  • miniUSB connector for sync / charge / headphones
  • miniSD slot
  • 1150mAh battery
  • up to 3.5 – 5 hrs talktime
  • up to 150-200 hour standby
  • 47 x 108 x 18.5 mm
  • 105g

    iPod shuffle crystal case from JAVOedge

    Matt recently bought me a new second generation iPod Shuffle which I love.

    Matt also keeps telling me how good JAVOedge products are so I asked him to get me a JAVOClearCase for it.

    JAVOClearCases come in seven colours and what’s more the seven colours come in one pack!

    Crystal Cases

    Apple have just made the iPod Shuffle available in a new range of colours but with the Crystal Cases from JAVOedge you can change the colour of your iPod every day!

    The cases are really easy to fit and remove. Not only do they look good but they protect your iPod from getting scratched.

    Blue iPod Shuffle Crystal Case

    “Design meets form and function. The JAVOClearCase maintains a low-profile to preserve the look and size of your Apple iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation without adding bulk or weight! Get all 7 available colors with this all inclusive 7-Pack!”

    Blue iPod Shuffle Crystal Case

    Key Features

  • Conveniently and quickly access the front and back button functions through the crystal-clear protective shell
  • Solid construction protects your iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation
  • Snaps in and locks iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen securely into place
  • Easy removal; quick tug/pull on one side and comes right off
  • Stylish and colorful crystal-clear design
  • Custom contoured shaped to perfectly fit to the shape of your iPod Shuffle 2G

    • Blue iPod Shuffle Crystal Case

    I really like these cases, they are well designed and fit extremely well. The cut outs for the controls are in exactly the right place. I can also swap the colours as often as I like and at less than $8 for the pack of seven JAVOClearCases they are a bargain!

    It’s been a few months since we first spoke about the Motorola Q but we just came across this picture of the Q in different clothes.

    Motorola Q in White

    It’s not clear whether or not this is an offical device or if this is the result of a quick encounter with a tim of spray paint but it definitely looks a lot nicer in white!

    HTC Athena photo review

    The folks over at Moblog have got their hands on an HTC Athena already and have reviewed it in pictures.

    HTC Athena

    “The best way to describe HTC Athena I feel, have to be the term ā€œMobile PC Communicator.ā€ You see, unlike laptops or computers, you do not need to wait for the device to (cold) boot up. You donā€™t have worries like battery going to end within 2 to 3 hours time (Lap top battery time usage). You no longer have the excuses like; the device is too heavy to be carried around. Same time, Athena does not behave like the rest of the Pocket PC Mobile devices. Just look at the specifications stated below, none of the any mobile devices have all the specifications offerings available on the market to date. “

    Updated HTC Athena specifications:

  • Intel Bulverde PXA270 624 Mhz chipset
  • 128 MB RAM / 128 MB ROM
  • Inbuilt GPS Receiver
  • Quad band GSM Network
  • 8 GB microdrive with G senor
  • 3G UTMS / HSDPA 1.8 Mbps / GPRS / WiFi 802.11 b/g Connection
  • 5ā€ Samsung VGA Screen / 262 K color TFT LCD
  • Auto focus 3 mega pixels Digital camera
  • USB 2.0
  • A2DP Bluetooth 2.0
  • AVRCP Bluetooth
  • HTC VGA / Composite Video / S-Video Output
  • Min. 30 FPS Video decoding output
  • Detachable QWERTY Keyboard input
  • Motion control web browser
  • Sub display User interface keyboard magnet attached to LCD
  • SRS 3D sound effect
  • Dual Digital Camera
  • 5-way navigation mouse like-button
  • ATI imageon 2282 Graphics accelerator
  • 2100mAh Battery

    • Each time I see this device it looks more and more impressive!
