| Orange SPV M600 All, I'm looking for a unit that can handle all my contacts and email. This runs Windows Mobile OS 5 and will sync my laptop and desktop. Does anyone know what this mobile is like and whats it like when it comes to sync'ing? The Sony P990i looks good, but it doesnt run Windows. If you know of any other phones then it would be good to hear. Cheers Darren EDIT this mobile has the added bonus of having Sat Nav!!! Does anyone know of the Sony P990i will have that feature? Coolermaster Nvidia 690, i7 3.8gz, Noctua U12P, Asus P6T V2, 3gb Corsiar DDR3, BFG 275 GTX OCX, 320gb WD Macbook Pro 2.5ghz Penryn, 4gb Ram, 250gb HD, 512mb 8600GT, Super Drive, Mac OSX 10.5, Windows XP, Bluetooth Apple Keyboard + Mighty Mouse  |

It will also sync your contacts, calender and e-mail (MS Outlook, Lotus Notes, Apple iSync) just fine. |

| I was just looking at that phone over the past few days and was seriously thinking about buying it but the lack of camera and the seemingly fiddly keys put me off. |

| The M600 isa great phone. However I just got rid of my M500 because you needed to use two hands to text people  I have now got the C600 which has everything the M500 did but in a small case and with buttons.Last night I sold my M500 for £99.00 on ebay with it being six months old and not having a stylus. At least they keep value  |

| The SPV M600 does have a 1.3Mp camera on it. It is a corking good phone, esp since it can reconise my hand writing TomTom works great on it Kimbie They come from the dark and slice your head off |

| I called Orange today and spoke to their disconnections department. My 12-month contract runs out in around 3 weeks time. They are offering me the SPV M600 as a free upgrade if I sign up to a new 18-month contract or for £29.99 if I sign up to a 12-month contract. I'm not keen on 18-month contracts and they said that if I call again in 3 weeks they'll probably offer me the phone for free on a 12-month contract. |

| In the first 8 months I averaged around £70 per month, I then switched to a cheap tariff (the now defunct Talk 60) and now my monthly average is around £40. This is all international text messaging and roaming. I don't use up any of my 60 minutes! I have a separate work phone (fully expensed) but still maintain a private phone for evenings, weekends and when i'm travelling on business/holiday. |
