“Sadly lacking 3G connectivity, the Orange SPV M600 still does rather well in the connectivity department with adequate data transfer speeds and good voice performance as delivered by quad-band GSM and EDGE support. The inclusion of Bluetooth 1.2 for dial-up networking and headset use further improves matters, as does Wi-Fi 802.11b and the USB 2.0 with charging support – always a nice touch for road warriors. Sporting comfortably snappy overall performance despite its modest 200 MHz processor, the SPV M600 does well at common productivity tasks, including the full set of its pre-installed applications. It’s a bit limited in the memory department with 43 MB of storage and 25 MB of RAM, which means its SDIO capable SD/MMC expansion slot should come in handy for all but the most basic of users. ” Find out more here:

“Satellite radio is the hottest thing since sliced bread, partly because of its multiple utility. By picking up an XM Radio receiver, it can function as a portable music player, an add-on to your automobile tune factory, or a source of commercial-free content for your home stereo. Pioneer has always been a recognized leader in the audio department, and the long awaited Inno – first seen earlier this year at CES – will finally start to ship this month.It’s one of the smallest devices of its kind, at a mere 3.7 x 2.2 x 0.6 inches and weighing just 4.5 ounces. Not only will you be able to access the wide range of live XM content, but you’ll also be able to store up to 50 hours of that stuff on there. Moreover, there’s even room in there for you to plug in MP3s and WMAs from your own library.There’s a full color 180 x 180 TFT display, and as promised, they’ve kept the price in the $400 range.” via mobilemag.com

“The casing is made of plastic – the cover is mostly glossy, but the front and the rear of the handset have metal-like framings, because of them the device looks more magnificent, though this feeling momentarily fades away once you’ve taken the device in your hands, as the quality of materials used makes itself felt. As to other details on the appearance, the handset’s surface is easily soiled; all details are well-adjusted to each other with no gaps remaining. The front plate, besides the common large Nokia label, holds quite wide opening with a red indicator incorporated into – to tell the truth this detail leaves a strong impression that it has been adopted from some other device, since it doesn’t blend with the general outlook.” Read this review here:
