We first mentioned the Orange version of the HTC Artemis, the SPV M650, back in November when the device appeared in the coming soon section of the Orange France site. You can now buy the M650 in France but what has happened to the UK launch?
Is the M650 another one of those devices that wont see its way to the UK? Certainly there is no mention of it in the latest retail catalogs from Orange and it’s nowhere to be seen on the UK website. Further investigation of the French site reveals that the SPV C100 (HTC Oxygen) and the SPV M700 (HTC Trinity) are also available to buy from Orange France but we already know that the C100 will not see a UK launch. Our Orange contacts here in the UK are unable to comment about a possible SPV M650 launch.
Anyone know anything about the M650 that they would like to share?
See the Orange M650 page on the Orange France site.

“Signal reception is as good or better than the Excalibur and the JOGGR touch-wheel has been moved to the direct side instead of by the screen. And now for some bad news, HTC sent out a memo to all distributors saying this device has been ‘postponed indefinitely’. “
