A review on Orange SPV M600, the Windows PDA

The device is fairly small too and takes on the now familiar form-factor that we've seen with devices like the Orange SPV M500 and T-Mobile MDA Compact etc. The M600 is a minuture Pocket PC with all the functionality and still the useability of a "regular sized" Pocket PC Phone.

The Orange M600 runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and has the push-email facility enabled so those of you wish Microsoft Exchange server can easily get your mail whilst out and about.

Booting up the M600 give you a swooshy Orange logo followed by a Windows Mobile logo. You then end up on the home screen, or "Today" screen if you like.
Orange have put a rather pleasant backdrop which seems to be the view from the back of a speed boat during a sun set. You can alter this through Settings->(Personal)->Today however the Orange theme works rather well and is easy enough to pick up. Just move your joystick up or down to switch between the various options. Each available menu pops up to the side as you scroll down...

Making a call is easy, just tap the green "answer" button and you're presented with a dialpad which is big enough to use with your fingers. The predictive dial does a great job of "guessing" which number you're going to dial, so you may find that just one or two taps are sufficient. The call history and contacts list is searched and suggested numbers appear on screen.

However Orange also recently announced an upgraded version the SPV M700
